I’m probably all alone out here on this. I’ve read what a monumental waste of time the Arab\/US\/Israeli conference was yesterday and I’ve pretty much kept quiet on it. I guess I’ve got a bit of optimist left in me and I’m a bit of a dreamer.<\/p>\n

I read the blogs (even Don Carl’s post below) like PC Free Zone<\/a> where Wild Thing called it a ‘worthless farce of a peace conference” and Dan McLaughlin at Redstate<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0who warned us that “you can negotiate with terrorists, but you can’t negotiate about terrorism”. I agree with both of them – to a point.<\/p>\n

But anything that can get Ahmadinejad foaming at the mouth isn’t a complete waste of time (AFP<\/a>);<\/p>\n

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday predicted that Israel would not survive, as he lashed out at the US-hosted conference seeking to relaunch the Middle East peace process.<\/p>\n

“It is impossible that the Zionist regime can last,” state media quoted Ahmadinejad as saying in a cabinet meeting.<\/p>\n

“Deterioration is in the nature of this regime as it has been built on aggression, lying, crime and wrongdoing,” he added.<\/p>\n

He said the meeting which united Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Annapolis, Maryland had “failed already and was stillborn. It lacked the cornerstones of effective political work.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If it was “stillborn” how come your closest ally Syria ignored your pleas and went anyway? Mahmoud is feeling isolated like Chavez was feeling the last few weeks – and I suspect that was the whole idea in the first place. When Ahmadinejad starts one of his\u00c2\u00a0snot-slinging\u00c2\u00a0rants, we’re doing the right thing.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
