Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says Israel should be "wiped off the map" and apparently believes that the rest of the world will huff and puff but do little to stop Tehran's quest for nuclear weapons.

From today's New York Times:

Iran could be gambling that even if it restarts nuclear research activities, it would once again avoid international sanctions. Despite threats by both the United States and the Europeans to refer Iran to the Security Council for punitive action after it resumed activities at Isfahan, the countries were forced to back down in the face of opposition from China and Russia, which each have veto power there.
