'Wipe out' wish, is small street talk you could hear in probably every country in middle east (common way of taking 1967 defeat steam out of the body) and will continue to be so, until Israel manage to effectively mend fences with it's neighbours.

I consider all this rubish talk, even if it comes out of mouth of Irannian president. Even Presidents do say stupid things sometimes, can't we agree on that ? <g>
I don't believe Iran would ever atack Israel, or anybody else for that matter.
