To raze Israel to the ground, to batter down, to destroy, to annihilate, to
liquidate, to erase Israel, to wipe it off the map - this is what Iran's
President demanded - at least this is what we read about or heard of at the
end of October 2005. Spreading the news was very effective. This is a
declaration of war they said. Obviously government and media were at one

the key to proper high speed rail development is to eliminate corruption.
