Interesting Policy, Selectively Applied, or, Hypocrisy in International Affairs

Here’s the Iranian president Ahmadinejad, rattling sabers at Israel and the US.

 “We have a saying in our language: ‘If someone throws a smaller stone, you should respond with a bigger stone.’ We will defend ourselves within our capabilities.”

I think that the world’s Jew-haters need to get their act together and read from the same script.  When Israel responds “with a bigger stone” to Palestinian violence, Eurochristians and liberals and Muslims of all nations scream: “Disproportionate response.”  (The US usually demurs, since that’s been our implicit policy for a long time.)  Yet the heir to the Khomeini revolution is declaring his readiness, nay, his cultural obligation, to disproportionate response.  

 Get with the program, Mahmoud.
