Rafsanjani, who served as President of Iran from 1989 to 1997 and is currently Chairman of Assembly of Experts and of the Expediency Council of Iran, suggested that a nuclear attack be launched on Israel that would "annihilate Israel" (Iran Press Service, Dec. 14, 2001).

Put your money where your mouth is, Obama
Women like a man who's sensitive to their needs, but a politician isn't a boyfriend.
