Iran to "break the leg" of enemies: Ahmadinejad

Broken legs heal. Radiation from a nuclear bombardment to stop nuclear enrichment lasts a LOT longer.

Having repeatedly vowed to "cut off the hand" of any attacker, Iran's president shifted to the leg on Friday to underline his determination to resist Western pressure over its nuclear program.

"Iran will severely sprain the ankles of anyone who dares attack us."

"You, the enemies of the Iranian nation, know that this nation will break the leg of anyone who wants to violate its rights," President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a rally in the southeastern province of Kerman.

Ahmadinejad reminds me of a Shitz Zu. Small little dog, big bark, one swift kick and the dramas over.

"We will not be harmed by your opposition and it will be you who ... will be harmed," Ahmadinejad, known for his fiery anti-Western speeches, said according to the official IRNA news agency.

For a moment, the crowd was worried, thinking Ahmadinejad was speaking to them.

He was speaking in Farsi which unlike English does not use the phrase "break a leg" idiomatically to wish someone freedom from harm.

Huh? What kind of stupid fucking statement is this. Did this report have a word quota you missed by 23 words? Not once did I think, "Hey, maybe he's wishing all those who would attack Iran good luck." You just killed this whole article for me. I'm done reading it. Moron.
