Feel the Outreach Yet?

After about two years of extending our open hand to Iran's Ahmadinejad, we continue to receive the back of his in response:

Iran's president Sunday called for U.S. leaders to be "buried" in response to what he says are American threats of military attack against Tehran's nuclear program.

Ahmadinejad is known for brash rhetoric in addressing the West, but in a speech Sunday he went a step further using a deeply offensive insult in response to U.S. statements that the military option against Iran is still on the table.

"May the undertaker bury you, your table and your body, which has soiled the world," he said using language in Iran reserved for hated enemies.

It's like the concepts of hope, change, and outreach are meaningless to him!

If I may point out the obvious, Iran under the mullahs held our people hostage at the dawn of the Islamic state in Iran, has been responsible for well over a thousand of our killed in action in Iraq, continues to support that scumbag Moqtada al Sadr, supports the Taliban in Afghanistan, and is behind mayhem and plans for more all across the Middle East and even in Latin America. So yes, we clearly are a hated enemy to Ahmadinejad and his ilk. Perhaps after thirty years of getting that message, we should receive it and treat them like an enemy and not as a friend we just haven't made yet.

Ahmadinejad is someone who makes be grateful that we have JDAMs.
