“It's a terrible idea [...] a pretty stupid thing [...] blowhard “

Well, we've heard the opposite when the _objects_ based on the most ridiculous and pathological “reasoning” are the USA or Israel rather than Iran's terrorist government.

But consistency is sadly lacking here. The inconsistency, hypocrisy, and PC nonsense dwarf the serious questions about extra-national jurisdiction (the Hague, even UN enforcement), the serious issue here.

By his warped logic he'd also defend Eichmann.

It's also laughable that he disparages the concept of international law when there are valid claims that happen to be Politically Incorrect.

Is kidnapping a leader of a country for alleged war crimes, a war crime in and of itself?

This is a pretty stupid thing to say given how tense the world seems to be. On the surface, it seems to me nothing more than a peeing contest. Mahmoud goes out there and says he wants to wipe Israel of the map. Now Eitan says he wants to kidnap Iran's leader. Do either of them have real ambitions to do either? I agree.

Why drum up sympathy for Ahmadinejad? It's a terrible idea and Eitan should not have floated it. Why drum up sympathy for Ahmadinejad?
