                      IRAN IS THREAT TO FREE WORLD

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, this week Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 
called for the destruction of Israel in a speech in Tehran. He said, 
``There is no doubt that Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful 
blot from the face of the Islamic world. Anybody who recognizes Israel 
will burn in the fire of Islamic nations' fury.''
  Mr. Speaker, this saber-rattling, rogue tyrant, terrorist-talking 
head of state and his comments are yet another example of his menacing 
threat to all people.
  Now Iran, with nuclear capability, is a real concern to not only free 
Israel, but to the free world. Iran's neighbors should be on careful 
watch. Hopefully the people of Iran will keep this firebrand, drugstore 
gunslinger under some control.
  The United States must reaffirm its commitment to the nation of 
Israel

and to the destruction and defeat of international terrorism.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Ahmadinejad needs to mind his words, because words 
mean something, and he should mind his manners and use some common 
sense in what he does. That is just the way it is.
