#1 "The arrogant superpowers and the Zionist regime invested all their efforts during the 33-day war, but after 60 years, their pride has been trampled and the countdown to the destruction of this regime has been started by Hizbullah fighters," the president was quoted as saying by Iranian news agency Mehr.

But he added that of course he meant that in the nicest and most peaceful way.

#5 As with all Muslim threats, the only reasonable response is to take them seriously. If we capped Ahmadinejad's worthless ass and that of every other two-bit loudmouth scumbag who shouts "death to America", this shit would change in a hurry. By not affixing a price tag to this crapulence, we only embolden our foes.

Western leaders, and Westerners in general, fail to comprehend the significant role of talented oratory in high context cultures. Convincing verbal fluency is a powerful tool of persuasion and indoctrination. In societies where illiteracy is rampant, skilled orators command instant respect and their ideas are treated with greater credibility. This translates into higher levels of recruitment, more resolute degrees of indoctrination and operatives who are far less amenable to any disincentive measures.

Less dissuadable recruits are precisely what is needed to commit the very worst terrorist atrocities. It takes an almost catatonic mindset to fly fully loaded passenger jets into occupied skyscrapers. Islam's most skilled indoctrinators are wholly complicit in originating the rhetoric, religious sanctions and ostensible moral imperatives that drive the most heinous forms of jihadism.

This is why I continue to stress how important it is beginning a campaign of targeted assassinations against Islam's top clerical echalons. The high concentration of religious authority, social status, intertribal connections and financial access found within these top-tier circles constitutes a major driving force in global terrorism second only to the Koran itself.

#9 the ocean of truth and justice

Yeah, but to paraphrase Deteriorata:

Be assured that a walk through Iran's ocean of truth and justice would scarcely get your feet wet.
