"A little learning is a
dangerous thing"

"President Ahmadinejad of Iran has been (falsely) quoted as saying: "Israel must be wiped off the map".

So what did Ahmadinejad actually say? To quote his exact words in farsi: "Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad." The full quote translated directly to English: "The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time"...

Hasn't Bush himself called for "regime change" in other countries, including Iran? What's the difference?
