He Doesn't Get It

Earlier I noted that Iran decided that it was more important to die than to accept help from Israel. Well someone else noticed. Dennis Prager wrote an excellent piece at Worldnet Daily, "Iran clarifies the Middle East"

Israel not only has the world's most experienced crews in quickly finding survivors in bombed out buildings, it is also a mere two-hour flight from Iran. In other words, no country in the world would come close to Israel in its ability to save Iranian lives quickly.

But none of this means anything to the rulers of Iran. The Islamic government of Iran has announced to the world that it is better for fellow countrymen and fellow Muslims – men, women and children – to die buried under rubble than to be saved by a Jew from Israel.

Unfortunately Secretary of State Colin Powell doesn't seem to have gotten the message, ""U.S. Warms to Prospect Of New Talks With Iran:

The United States is open to restoring a dialogue with Iran after "encouraging" moves by the Islamic republic in recent months, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said yesterday.

I guess that reinforcing antisemitism is "encouraging."
