Will Juan Cole of the U. of Michigan believe the Iranians this time? Yesterday Iran test-fired two missiles on which had been written--in Hebrew and Farsi--"Israel must be wiped off the face of the earth.” After then-Iranian president Ahmadinejad’s 2005 call to “wipe Israel off the map,” Cole and other apologists for the mullahs denied Ahmadinejad said any such thing even though the official Iranian translation claimed that he did. Will Cole et al. offer the world a kinder, gentler translation of Iran’s latest call for genocide?
