I really don't know; and I mean, I've read both sides of the argument. There are those who say that when Ahmadinejad said he wanted to "wipe Israel off the map", that was actually a faulty interpretation of the language; and that since then the interpretation has been that he simply expects the end of the Zionist regime. And expects this to happen shortly, if the people will show a bit of patience.

And then there are those are argue, credibly, that being the "big man" is how Ahmeindiningcar maintains his power, that being as bombastic and jingoistic as possible is the only way to maintain power during his failing economy.

I mean if you asked that question amongst very smart people following the topic, you'd get a really wide variety of answers, some following the party line, some not;

And what it really comes down to, in a lot of ways is:

Are you comfortable not knowing the answer to that question?
