11. Not what I meant, sorry for the confusion.
What I meant was why bother with the 'lost in translation' issue with Ahmedinjad? Yes his statements get taken out of context and get deliberately mistranslated, but he also has said some really awful things, and then you get boxed into looking like you are defending the awful Iranian theocracy, even if you aren't. It is a tough problem though, as we have to do some defending of that regime to counter the hate-Iran propaganda being used to justify the pending attack against Iran. Sorry if it ended up looking like a personal attack. That was not my intention.
