![]() Meanwhile, U.S. President George W. Bush said Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's threats to the international community must be taken seriously. "When he says that he wants to destroy Israel, the world needs to take it seriously," Bush said in an interview with German weekly Bild am Sonntag. "What Ahmadinejad also means is that if he is ready to destroy one country, then he would also be ready to destroy others. This is a threat that needs to be dealt with." Ahmadinejad has said Israel should be "wiped off the map." While reiterating that all options for stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons were on the table, Bush said he believed a diplomatic solution was possible if the international community worked hard and remained united. |
