Meno male che c'e' Podhoretz

The case for Bombing Iran, June 2007.


"The Iranians (...) never cease denying that they intend to build a nuclear arsenal, and yet in the same breath they openly tell us what they intend to do with it.
Their first priority, as repeatedly and unequivocally announced by their president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is to "wipe Isral off the map" (...)

But Ahmadinejad ambitions are not confined to the destruction of Israel. He also wish to dominate the grater Middle East, and thereby to control the oilfields of the region and the flow of oil out of it through the Persian Gulf.

(...)

Nor are Ahmadinejad’s ambitions merely regional in scope. He has a larger dream of extending the power and influence of Islam throughout Europe (...).
And then, finally, comes the largest dream of all: what Ahmadinejad does not shrink from describing as “a world without America.” "

Aggiungo io. Non sara' per quanto riportato qui che la Russia non ha mai mostrato troppa durezza nei confronti dell'Iran...?
