Ahmadinejad hopes to see a day when there won't be the name Israel on the map.

Bush/Blair, in fact any number of people, would hope to see a day when there is no "North Korea" on the map. The same way there is no USSR on the map these days, no matter how hard you look.

Many people in Scotland, in Ireland, in Wales and in England, for that, matter, look forward to a day when there will be no United Kingdom on the map.

These hopes do not necessarily be taken as indicating an intention to unleash a war of annihilation upon the areas of the planet under consideration.
