How Would You Respond?

Back in World War 2 millions of Jews were executed by Hitler.  Before World War 2 began Hitler made it very clear how he felt about the Jews and what he would do to them.  Now in the 21st Century another leader President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran has made it very clear how he views Israel as he has stated on several occasions that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth.  Before World War 2 began world leaders ignored Hitler's threats and believed he was blowing smoke in the wind, however, we all know how that turned out.   80 years later here we are again as many world leaders appear to be ignoring Ahmadinejad's threats as they believe he is just saying these things to increase his popularity in Iran.

If you were living in Israel and knew what happened back in World War 2 would you consider Ahmadinejad's threats as nothing more than bolstering his regime or would you consider his threats as legitimate?   Let's face it if the roles had been reversed and millions of Americans had been executed by Hitler and not Jews would the US be standing idly by if Ahmadinejad had said the US should be wiped off the face of the earth.
