Straw man argument there. Changing the subject from the accusation that Iranian leaders have called for destroying other countries to trying to make it look like the subject is whether or not the leaders of Iran are angels.

As I've said many times before, the people of Iran want to be allowed to deal with their problems without outside interference. The current drive coming from some quarters, to try to whip up support for an attack on Iran by either Israel or the US is not what the people of Iran want. Continuing to spread lies about the intentions of the leaders of Iran, like for instance, the lie about calling for Israel's destruction, does not help those women who are being arrested, and aren't being allowed to stand in elections. Quite the opposite. The more of that sort of rhetoric people in the US, Israel, and the rest of the West engage in, the more the hardliners in the Iranian government are strengthened.

This is all for a purpose, however. For Israel (as was said at the recent AIPAC conference) Ahmadinejad is the gift that keeps on giving. The longer he stays in office, the more they believe they will be able to convince people of the need to attack Iran (something that the people of Iran most definitely don't want, human rights abuses of their leaders notwithstanding). The people who are working so hard to whip up negative emotions toward Iran want Ahmadinejad to remain in power, and they are doing everything they possibly can to see that he wins the election. The last thing in the world they want to see is a moderate win the election. This is because they don't really give a crap about human rights in Iran. All they care about is creating a pretext for attacking Iran and destroying it as a regional power.
