Today’s Tuesday Reading Assignment is a great Mark Steyn piece over at The Washington Times.

It deals with Iran and their new offer to “re-settle” the Jews in Europe:

“Some European countries insist on saying that Hitler killed millions of innocent Jews in furnaces,” President Ahmadinejad told Iranian TV viewers. “Although we don’t accept this claim, if we suppose it is true,” he added sportingly, “if European countries claim that they have killed Jews in World War II,” Mr. Ahmadinejad told Iranian TV, “why don’t they provide the Zionist regime with a piece of Europe? Germany and Austria can provide the regime with two or three provinces for this regime to establish itself, and the issue will be resolved. You offer part of Europe and we will support it.”

This about sums it up:

So let’s see: We have a Holocaust denier who wants to relocate an entire nation to another continent and he happens to be head of the world’s newest nuclear state. (They’re not 100 percent fully fledged operational, but happily for them they can drag out the pseudo-negotiations with the European Union until they are. And Washington certainly won’t do anything, because after all if we’re not 100 percent certain they’ve got weapons of mass destruction — which we won’t be until there’s a big smoking crater live on CNN — it would be just another Bushitlerburton lie to get us into another war for oil, right?)

Unfortunately, Mr. Steyn is too right with this observation:

In Iran, President Ahmaddamytree figures half the world likes his Jew proposals and the rest isn’t prepared to do more than offer a few objections phrased in the usual thin diplo-pabulum.

Sigh

Go read the entire thing.

    No Muslim leader will be happy until there is no Israel. Until they scatter or eliminate the Jews. And those that don’t really feel that way have to make it seem that they feel that way through viscious rhetoric to appeal to their populace.

    I’m thinking that Israel’s poised to do us all a favor though.

    [...] I have written before about the whack-job “President” of Iran and his rantings about wiping Israel off the face of the earth. See here and here. Nothing new there. Many totally sane Islamic leaders say the same thing every day. *cough* But this nut case is different. He will soon have nukes. It also appears that he feels he has been chosen to lead the world into Islam’s version of Armageddon. [...]
