Former chief of staff Ya'alon: Ahmadinejad should be dealt with like Hitler

By JPOST.COM STAFF
The international community must deal with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as it dealt with Adolf Hitler, former chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. (res.) Moshe Ya'alon said Sunday. "We in the West are in the same situation, indecisiveness in the face of a threat that is no less severe than the threat Hitler posed in 1938-39," Ya'alon told Army Radio. "We can still stop Iran with diplomatic and economic means, but if that doesn't work, a military confrontation will be unavoidable," he said, adding, pessimistically, that "the writing is on the wall" for a military solution.
