That should say "attackers"....

Well, I just had to beat Bearded Bruce to posting about this one. ;-) It's the kind of story he lives for.

Ahmadinejad has made a statement that Iran will cut off the hands of anyone who dares to attack Iran! Oh, my...that certainly is dramatic, isn't it?

His actual words (translated, I presume) are quoted as: "Before the enemies touch the trigger, Iran's armed forces will cut off their hands," Ahmadinejad said, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.

Since I don't see how this could be physically accomplished, I have to assume that it is a strictly symbolic statement, and should not be taken literally. It probably sounds much more appropriate in the original language and idiom that Ahmadinejad is using. At least, I hope so! ;-D

Ahmadinejad clearly does not understand American psychology at all. If he did he would have said, "Before the enemies touch the trigger, Iran's armed forces will kick them in the balls."
