Iranian bloggers decry president's remarks

As tens of thousands of demonstraters gathered in Iran in support of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's call to "wipe Israel off the map," Iranian bloggers had their own thoughts.

Hoder:

I'm very sorry about what this fundamentalist moron who happens to be Iran's president has recently said. But I have to say he doesn't represent the way the majority in Iran think. This guy is a fraud and is a puppet of Mesbah-e Yazdi, a radical cleric who is only gaining power after Khomeini's death.

...

However, the best indicator for me about the general attitude of Iranians towards Israel happened last year during the Olympic games when the Iranian Judoka refused to face his Israeli counterpart and eventually lost a medal. Average Iranians were quite angry about that and even in a poll I put on my Persian blog, the majority disagreed with the official policy of the Iranian regime.

Shahram Kholdi:

Congratulations to this genius of international diplomacy: His Excellency President Dr. Ahmaninejad! Now, the world is assured that Iran does not enojy the rationality and responsibility, and perhaps the International Legal Capacity, to have nuclear technology, because some genius statesman wants to see Israel wiped off the map, and how else can such a plane be achieved other than using something as big and efficient as an "N" or "A" bomb......!!!!
