\"Wipe Israel Off the Map\"
And, as well, "Death to America." Both statements were roundly condemmed by many countries. The Iranian reaction, though, may be telling. They reacted with surprise that anyone actually believed the rhetoric. It makes me wonder, sometimes, for whom these sorts of statements are really intended.

They are totally responsible for their rhetoric and should assume it will be taken seriously and acted upon by those threatened. I can't joke to my neighbors that I am dangerous and want to kill them, without expecting some type of reaction.

This of course was a pathetic attempt at spin control by those in the Iranian government who were alarmed that their President tipped the Iranian's hand. Imagine if George Bush publicly proclaimed that he was going to "wipe Iran off the map". The argument that the Iranian president's remarks can't be taken seriously can't be taken seriously.
