Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that the State of Israel is a "stinking corpse" that is destined to disappear.Meanwhile, it is hard to find news stories about people risking their lives to move to Iran. I'm also not seeing much about Iranian startups in Nasdaq, Iranian innovations in medicine or a strong Iranian economy. Last I checked, they were having problems even refining their own oil.
"Those who think they can revive the stinking corpse of the usurping and fake Israeli regime by throwing a birthday party are seriously mistaken," the official IRNA news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as having said."Today the reason for the Zionist regime's existence is questioned, and this regime is on its way to annihilation."
Ahmadinejad further stated that Israel "has reached the end like a dead rat after being slapped by the Lebanese" - referring to the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.
Somehow, I think that the days of the current Iranian regime are far fewer than Israel's. But if Iran can figure out a way to export insults, then the situation might change.
