Iran, Israel and the Holocaust

If you have any interest in Iran's descent into madness regarding Israel, you must read the Captain's comments on the latest piece of genocidal thinking to emerge from this country.  After detailing the loony thinking that characterizes the Mullahs, the Captain has this to say:

All of this is window dressing to the real worldview of the Iranian mullahcracy. They see Jews as inherently evil and subhuman, descended from pigs and/or monkeys, and they want to rid themselves of any Jewish presence in what they see as the ummah. Denying the Holocaust gives them some strange moral imperative to eliminate the result, as they see it, of the Holocaust's aftermath: Israel. None of these comments have any benign interpretation. They are making it clear that they intend to wipe Israel off the map, and anyone who comes to their aid. Mutual deterrence will not stop them from eventually acting to "resolve" the Holocaust question. And any policy of containment or MAD will fail as a result.

We have to keep Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and we have to do it soon. Otherwise, we will see Iran take its chances with the West that we will not intervene after an attack on Israel as long as Iranian rockets can reach London. Given the current state of global leadership, that's a bluff they may well win.

I can't add to this, but I do encourage you to check out the whole post, but it's impossible to appreciate what the Captain has to say without first reading what the Mullahs are preaching to the Iranian people.  We can only hope that while the West fiddles, Israel is doing something to douse this fire.
