Well, I Guess You Have To Admire His Honesty

I mean, at least you always know where he stands on this issue:

PUTRAJAYA, Malaysia - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday the solution to the Middle East crisis was to destroy Israel, Iranian state media reported.

In a speech during an emergency meeting of Muslim leaders in Malaysia, Ahmadinejad also called for an immediate cease-fire to end the fighting between Israel and the Iranian-back group Hezbollah. "Although the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime, at this stage an immediate cease-fire must be implemented," Ahmadinejad said, according to state-run television in a report posted on its Web site.

But remember, folks: the US is the greatest threat the world faces.

Now here's a laugh:

"This war must stop, or it will radicalize the Muslim world, even those of us who are moderate today," said Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who leads the world's most populous Muslim country.

"Moderate" my left nut.

"From there, it will be just one step away to that ultimate nightmare: a clash of civilizations," he added.

I think we're there already, but unfortunately our side refuses to face it.

So your right nut would be radically conservative?

"a clash of civilizations"

Nah, it's a clash of civilization and non-civilization.
