"the time has come for the disappearance of the West and the Zionist regime - which are two dark spots in the present era - from the face of the universe."

He said it.  Speaker of the Iranian parliament Ali Larijani couldn't mean what he says, after all we have heard this strain of vitriol for the past few decades and the Western response is always that he doesn't mean it, or that his words are taken out of context, or the reporter lies...the excuses are endless, yet we keep buying into them, simply because we refuse to believe that any one government or society recognized as a legitimate structure could possibly want to be our enemy.  We will continue to hear these threats until the threat becomes real, and Iran attacks Israel.  What then, oh great and mighty Oz?  


Knuckleheads the lot of them.

Top Iran official: Time has come for Israel, U.S. to vanish from world
The time has come for the disappearance of Israel and the West from the face of the universe, a senior Iranian official was quoted as saying on Thursday, saying that they were the "prime sources of tyranny and gloom."

The comment, by speaker of the Iranian parliament Ali Larijani, came after earlier Thursday the head of Iran's nuclear agency said that newly approved EU sanctions against the country's oil industry would not halt the progress of Iran's nuclear program.

Earlier this week, Iran test-fired several long-range ballistic missiles as part of an extensive military drill, with a top officer in Iran's Revolutionary Guards saying that the launch was meant to show to “regional and trans-regional countries seeking adventurism that the Islamic Republic is determined to resist their bullying and will give a crushing and decisive response to any potential act of mischief."

Speaking at a Tehran conference, Larijani was cited by Iran's Press TV as saying that "the time has come for the disappearance of the West and the Zionist regime - which are two dark spots in the present era - from the face of the universe."

“The U.S. and the Zionist regime are the prime sources of tyranny and gloom in the current age. The Muslim world is fed up with the injustice and abuse by these governments,” Larijani added.
