We Continue To Be Frustrated and Baffled By The World's Reaction To Iran

We know that we blogged this yesterday, but it is absolutely mind-boggling that this week Ahmadinejad literally threatened to attack Israel and any European nation that supports Israel and no one seems particularly put out:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Friday that Western countries and particularly Europe would be hurt by popular fury against their support of Israel. In a speech carried live by Iranian radio, Ahmadinejad told European countries, "People in the region blame you for any crime or invasion against any country and will take revenge on you." "You should know that the rage of people is boiling and is like an ocean that is welling up," he said. "Once its storm begins blowing, it will go beyond the borders of Lebanon and Palestine and it will hurt European countries."... "Hezbollah shattered the myth that Israel is undefeatable," he said. "Now Israel has no reason to exist."... Last year Ahmadinejad provoked international outrage when he said the Holocaust was a myth and repeated a slogan by the father of the 1979 Iranian revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, saying, "Israel should be wiped off the map." Ahmadinejad repeated his allegations about the Holocaust on Friday and said, "Even if we assume that six million Jews were killed in World War II, how come you don't sympathize for the other 54 million who were killed too? It is not even clear who counted those you sympathize for."

HELLO? IS ANYBODY HOME?

Lunatic. Nukes. Genocide. Do we have to draw you a goddamned picture?
