Happy Annihilation Day!
These are the folk whom General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff has referred to as “rational" actors (see below), i.e., the same folk whom President Obama and Sec of State Hillary Clinton are looking to chat up.
Well, in keeping with that kind of rationality, and today's general inclination to define deviancy down, how about calling for Annihilate The Mullahs Day, i.e., a day devoted to ridding the world of these useless miscreants?
Too harsh? We think not, especially since these are the folks whose sole contributions to mankind (in the last millennium) have been carnage, savage brutality, repression and hate, all things the world could do without.
So who among the so-called civilized world will stand up and denounce the hateful rhetoric of A-Mad et al? The UN? The US? The EU? How about the ACLU, the NAACP, the OWS, the UNHRC and the rest of the alphabet-soup of civil/human rights groups, who are always so quick to react when anyone offends their (and only their) sensibilities?
Civil rights icon, Martin Luther King Jr., once said: “In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
Wise words to keep in mind, along with equally wise words from one of America’s Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton, who said: “He who stands for nothing will fall for anything.”

Ahmadinejad: World Forces Must Annihilate Israel
In Ramadan speech to Islamic country ambassadors, Iranian president says liberation of Palestine will solve all world problems.
By Joanna Paraszczuk
In a speech published on his website Thursday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the ultimate goal of world forces must be the annihilation of Israel.
Speaking to ambassadors from Islamic countries ahead of 'Qods Day' ('Jerusalem Day'), an annual Iranian anti-Zionist event established in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini and which falls this year on August 17, Ahmadinejad said that a "horrible Zionist current" had been managing world affairs for "about 400 years."
Repeating traditional anti-Semitic slurs, the Iranian president accused "Zionists" of controlling the world's media and financial systems.
It was Zionists, he said, who were "behind the scene of the world's main powers, media, monetary and banking centers."
"They are the decision makers, to the extent that the presidential election hopefuls [of the USA] must go and kiss the feet of the Zionists to ensure their election victory," he added.
Ahmadinejad added that "liberating Palestine" would solve all the world's problems, although he did not elaborate on exactly how that might work.
"Qods Day is not merely a strategic solution for the Palestinian problem, as it is to be viewed as a key for solving the world problems," he said.
He added: "Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime in order to pave the way for world justice and freedom."
The Iranian president said that Israel reinforced "the dominance of arrogant powers in the region and across the globe" and that Arab countries in particular - he cited Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Syria and Turkey - were affected by Israel's "plots."
Ahmadinejad, who has called the Holocaust a myth, has previously called for Israel's annihilation, in a 2005 speech in which he used a Persian phrase that translates literally as "wiped off the page of time."
