Iran’s crimes, real and hypothetical

It has become fashionable in certain circles to call for the president of Iran to be charged with genocide incitement because of his virulently anti-Israel remarks.

During Monday’s president’s debate, Mitt Romney vowed that if he gets to the White House, he will “make sure that [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad is indicted under the Genocide Convention,” a campaign promise Romney has made since 2007.
