But having been on the original poster's side of the argument and having been slammed against various walls by people who literally did not want to listen to reason, I have come to the conclusion that the people who firmly believe that the Iranian president said that he desires and intends and threatens to wipe Israel off the map with nuclear weapons in plain Persian, just plain don't care whether they're wrong or not. If they're right, great. If they're wrong, the claim serves a useful purpose because the Iranian prez is a bad man and needs to be combatted whether via the truth or the not so truth.

And it annoys me all to hell. But I'm not going to change their minds. It's just not my logic, or in fact, much logic at all, but I'd rather save people trouble rather than allow them to get their hopes up that being right will win this argument. It won't. Ever.
