La rencontre gastronomique entre Merz et Ahmadinejad ne relève pas tant du cynisme, comme s'en indignent les Israéliens, mais plutôt d'une pitoyable incompétence, d'une faiblesse crasse du Conseil fédéral en matière de politique étrangère.

In one fell-swoop today Iran and their seemingly Napoleonic leader, Ahmadinejad, made everyone in the world further consider the possibility that Bush and Co. are all smoke when it comes to their portrayal of Iran as "warmongering" or set on anything other than than defending itself against proven aggressors. They announced plans to release British POW's as an "Easter" gift. What a coup for these witty Persians. With smiling faces on their captives they presented themselves as fair and appropriately deliberative, if not gracious.
Ahmadinejad mind-map bullet points: - Holocaust denier - US/Israel “soon to be destroyed” - “one bomb” will destroy Israel - North Koreans assisting Iran’s nuclear program - Israel very quiet recently - Israel political will and military resources to attack Iran unilaterally? - 2nd U.S. carrier group en route Persian Gulf - U.S. defend Iraq’s Iran / Syrian borders in response? - 2009 term limit, Parliament shortened Ahmadinejad’s term? - ‘Hojjatieh’ ultra-conservative Shia believer of the 12th Imam/Mahdi - Ahmadinejad wants his administration to ‘pave way for 12th Imam’s return - His administration politically weaker; forcing his hand? - Inflation, unemployment, building opposition to his policies - Ahmadinejad even scares Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - Ayathollah’s recent overtures (”goodwill”) to U.S. via Saudi King - Sec. of State - Condi Rice - making trip to Riyadh next week
What if the world’s great conflicts were just as phoney? What if Bush and Chavez; Blair and Putin; Olmert and Ahmadinejad were all part of a giant Punch and Judy Show? What if we were riding the roller coaster, cheering and groaning, and biting our fingernails for nothing? What if it were all staged like professional wrestling (only thousands of innocent people were dying?)

Le blog officiel du président iranien Ahmadinejad...
L'Iran a qualifié d'inacceptable la condamnation par le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU des propos de son président Mahmoud Ahmadinejad contre Israël, mais a dit n'avoir aucune intention d'attaquer l'Etat hébreu.
"l'usage pacifique de l'énergie nucléaire sans possession du cycle nucléaire n'est qu'une proposition vide" (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, président de l'Iran)
