Ceasefire as Suicide

Iran knows and openly proclaims that any ceasefire would only serve as a reprieve for the Islamists to recuperate and then resume their attempts to wipe Israel out. How long before the West takes them at their word and responds accordingly?

From today's Best of the Web Today:

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday the solution to the Middle East crisis was to destroy Israel, Iranian state media reported," the Associated Press reports:

In a speech during an emergency meeting of Muslim leaders in Malaysia, Ahmadinejad also called for an immediate cease-fire to end the fighting between Israel and the Iranian-back group Hezbollah.

"Although the main solution is for the elimination of the Zionist regime, at this stage an immediate cease-fire must be implemented," Ahmadinejad said, according to state-run television in a report posted on its Web site.
