The president of Iran and his senior ministers have long spoken openly about the impending destruction of Israel. So where do they get the moral authority to demand condemnation of Israel for statements about destroying Iran's illegal nuclear program?

The Iranian ambassador to the UN has complained that the UN Security Council has done nothing to stop Israel's ''unlawful and dangerous threats'' against Iran.

On Monday Javad Zarif protested a recent statement from Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz that Israel has not ruled out military action against Iran to disable its nuclear programme.

He also referred to a similar statement that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert made in April.

Yiddish has a word for such an action -- chutzpah. Ironic, isn't it, that this Jewish dialect is the source of the only word that adequately describes this move by the terrorist state of Iran?

1 The Iranian regime is just a total failure and a miserable regime. They:

* fail to deliver economic progress
* detain and torture political dissidents
* practice barbaric cruelty against women
* are religiously oppressive and intolerant
* are pursuing nuclear weapons

They do need to be isolated like we are doing with North Korea.
