“The Iranian nation will wipe the strain of regret on the foreheads of those

who want to bring about injustice”, President Ahmadinejad scorned at a

recent rally in the <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 /><ST1:PLACE w:st="on"><ST1:PLACETYPE w:st="on">province</ST1:PLACETYPE> of <ST1:PLACENAME w:st="on">Zanjan</ST1:PLACENAME> </ST1:PLACE>. <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on">Iran</ST1:COUNTRY-REGION> “will cut off the hands of any

aggressor”, any attack would be met with a response that is double-fold

including suicide attacks across Europe and the <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">United States</ST1:PLACE> </ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>, he warned.

 

“<ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"> <ST1:PLACE w:st="on">Israel</ST1:PLACE> </ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>should be wiped off the map”, the predominately Jewish nation

“cannot survive” and is headed “towards extinction” quipped the fanatical

President.

 

If one were to listen to his rhetoric alone, even the most astute political

intellectuals would think <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">Iran</ST1:PLACE> </ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>is a nation equipped with the most dangerous

military arsenal capable of challenging any nation. But <ST1:COUNTRY-REGION w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">Iran</ST1:PLACE> </ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>’s rhetoric has

little to do with their outdated and dismal military, their fledging economy

or their detested government. The root of the government’s fiery tone may be

traced to their Shi’te ideology messianic belief in a mysterious, mystical

twelfth imam who ventured into hiding over a thousand years ago.

 

The Hidden Imam is a central concept in the teachings of Shi’te Islam. Born

Muhammad al-Mahdi he ventured into a cave in 941 AD hidden by a gate called the Gate of Occultation. The doctrine of Occultation professes Allah aided the cloaking of the Imam away from the eyes of man so that he could be kept alive until his return. Shi’tes believe that the Twelfth Imam will return to

lead the religious battle between good and evil when the world has become

consummately nefarious.

 

According to Shi’te orthodoxy humans may not force or hasten the return of

the Imam, but the Hojjateiehs a group of which Ahmadinejad is a member,

opine that humans may stir up chaos to encourage his return. With his

recent rhetoric vowing for the destruction of Israel, demanding deportation

of the Jews to Europe and denying the Holocaust that the President seems to

be doing just that. In fact, his messianic axiom of the Twelfth Imam and the

subsequent suppression of the forces of evil [modern day US, UK, Israel and

many other nations] is central to Ahmadinejad’s foreign policy. The Iranian

government’s official policy has undercut efforts of the international

community by rejecting a United Nations deadline to suspend Iran’s nuclear

program, threatening to quit the Non-Proliferation Treaty and vying that

“nothing can stop Iran’s path to nuclear technology.” In anticipation of a

stand off with the West Iran recently clinched agreements with eight

different Middle East insurgency groups to carry out suicide attacks against

Israeli, British and US interests across the world. Ironically this plan is

called ‘Judgment Day.’

 

 

During a private meeting with an Iranian cleric in November Ahmadinejad

claimed that while giving a speech before the United Nations he felt “the

atmosphere change and for 27 to 28 minutes the leaders did not blink” “they

were astonished.. it had opened their eyes and ears to the Islamic

Republic.” He further said that he felt the hand of God upon him as he

delivered his omniscient speech. In his egocentric fantasy world the Iranian

President likely sees himself as a deputy of the Imam with a divine mission

to encourage his arrival. His references to the Imam in conjunction with

threats to wipe countries off the face of earth should be taken seriously.

Foreign policy experts should examine the Islamic Republic from both a

political and religious perspective. To the clerical regime the return of

the Imam is not a mere possibility, but a surety. Their attitude towards the

international community seems to point at their preparation for that day.

 

International concerns aside, there are domestic reasons for the regimes

erratic behavior. After 27 years of executions, floggings, stoning,

oppression of political dissent, violation of women’s rights, oppression of

religious minorities, the largest brain drain in the world, rampant

prostitution, crime, drug use and mass unemployment the Islamic Republic is

domestically quite loathed. In fact, recent student polls show that close

to eighty five percent of the population supports fundamental democratic

changes in the regime. Iranian students have consistently poured into the

streets in pro-Democracy protests only to be violently suppressed, jailed,

tortured and often murdered. But, dictatorships can only oppress for so long

and it’s only a matter of time before Iran explodes in a pro-Western

democratic revolution. The regime knows that the only way they can leave

any kind of legacy is by invoking nationalistic pride by pushing the country

into another war and unlike the Iran-Iraq war this time they’re paving the

way for the return of the Twelfth Imam.

 

From challenging the world to enhancing Iran’s nuclear programs every issue

is implemented for the arrival of Mahdi. The Islamic Republic is not vying

for war because they’re too arrogant to understand they will be crushed.

They’re vying for war because they believe Mahdi will return to help them

defeat the United States and others who dare stand up to them.

 

Ahamadinejad

and Company’s Armageddon may be coming to a theater near you and it’s

probably the scariest movie we’ll ever see unless we aggressively invest in

the overthrow of the regime before it’s debut appearance.:smash:

LOL! what a piece of propaganda work... Iran wants a war? Suuuuuuuuure... just like Iraq wanted a war with US...

 

you people should pull your heads out of your hind quarters because all you see is BS...

 

 

this article reminds me of a time in 1939 when Hitler was publically claiming Poland wants a war with Germany. Weeks later Hitler attacked Poland in a "preemptive strike" thus starting WW2...

 

curse the warmongers...

Iran Wants War

 

<!--

-->Written by Ms Stock

Saturday, May 06, 2006

 

Reasonable people listening to the bombastic rhetoric coming out of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /><st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> should easily come to one conclusion: <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> wants to start a war.

The leaders of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> would prefer that the war be started by <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> so that their Muslim brothers will howl for the blood of Jews in revenge. This is why hardly a day goes by that threats are not hurled at <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>, hoping to push <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> over the edge.

<st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> is sending money to Hamas, the new Palestinian ruling party, so that attacks on Israeli civilians can continue. Oddly, Hamas hasn’t thought about how it would fare if <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> drops a nuke or two on <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Between the initial blast, the heat and shock waves, and the radiation, millions of Palestinians would die. Islam doesn’t care. Islam has never cared about the Palestinians.

There is only one thing that would make the leaders of the Jewish state strike first: An imminent nuclear attack from <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>. This is certainly a possibility, considering that no one truly knows how close <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> is to being the proud owners of nuclear bombs. No country would stand by and allow itself to be attacked with this weapon of mass destruction and <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> would have every right to strike first with conventional weapons. The people of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> do not need to pay the price for the folly of their leaders.

For those liberals out there who would scream that no one has the right to make a pre-emptive strike, let me remind them of the Cuban missile crisis.

<st1:country-region><st1:place>America</st1:place></st1:country-region> nearly went to war with the <st1:place>Soviet Union</st1:place> because it placed nuclear missiles off our shore in <st1:country-region><st1:place>Cuba</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Nikita Khrushchev was not making daily threats to use them, but Kennedy would not allow it. For 13 long days <st1:country-region><st1:place>America</st1:place></st1:country-region> and the <st1:place>Soviet Union</st1:place> went head-to-head and Khrushchev finally blinked. He realized that Kennedy meant what he said: Remove the nukes from <st1:country-region><st1:place>Cuba</st1:place></st1:country-region> or pay the price. Khrushchev did not have a death wish. Khrushchev did not want to start a nuclear war with the <st1:country-region><st1:place>United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Even hard-line communists knew that there would be no winners in a nuclear exchange. The Islamic leaders of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> are not tethered by such logical constraints.

Even Hitler did not have a desire to die. In Hitler’s worst dreams, he never believed that <st1:country-region><st1:place>Germany</st1:place></st1:country-region> would be nearly destroyed. Hitler believed that he could conquer <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> at the very least, and he nearly did. But Hitler did not start a war in <st1:place>Europe</st1:place> knowing that he would be vaporized twenty minutes after launching his first attack.

<st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> knows that if it drops a nuclear bomb on <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>, <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> will launch every nuke it has at <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>. If truth be known, <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> may choose to settle some old scores with several Islamic countries. <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> may cease to exist, but so will <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>. This deterrent of mutual destruction has been the leash that has held all the world’s nuclear weapons in their launch bays since World War II. Sane people do not want to see their own countries and people destroyed.

The president of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is not insane. He is a Shiite Muslim. He believes that he and <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> have been chosen to herald in the return of the Twelfth Imam. This Imam will rise out of a sacred well at the Jamkaran mosque and it is the duty of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> to pave the way for his return. This mysterious Imam will only return to raise Islam from the ashes of Armageddon as the eternal conquerors and rulers of the world. Ahmadinejad has stated last fall that this will happen in two years.

So the stage is now set. The president of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> absolutely believes that this Imam, who disappeared eleven centuries ago, will rise up and save devout Muslims from destruction while destroying all the infidels of the world in a fiery conflagration. All that needs to be done is to launch nuclear weapons at everyone that their missiles can reach, especially <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region>, to set this all in motion.

There are reasons for all the saber-rattling and spewing of threats. The first is to stall the West long enough to obtain the necessary weapon to start a war worthy of the Twelfth Imam. Second is to try to entice <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s two most hated enemies to attack them so that <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> cannot be blamed in any way for starting a nuclear world war. <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> knows that neither <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> nor <st1:country-region><st1:place>America</st1:place></st1:country-region> will use nuclear weapons first. But if <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> is attacked, it will claim self defense and unleash its nukes on the world. If <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> is not successful in enticing a country to attack it, it will simply strike first.

So the free and sane world has only one choice to make. Stop <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> now, while it still can, or suffer the consequences. Only in the dream world of the pacifists does <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> “have a right” to nuclear weapons so that it can “feel safe.” <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> has no intention of “feeling safe.” It has every intention of starting a nuclear war. But the devout Shiite Muslims of the world have no fear. Allah and the Twelfth Imam will save them all. They will be rewarded beyond their wildest dreams because they brought about the end of the rule of evil non-believers in the world.

Every religion has had its “kook” faction. Jim Jones and David Koresh, two noted cult leaders, come to mind. But while these men felt that they had a direct line to God, they did not have a direct line to nuclear weapons, nor would any rational person have allowed them to possess such a weapon. Yet, there are those who are willing to take the risk and allow a country led by Islamic mullahs and a little man with delusions of grandeur to have them. This is more than irresponsible; it borders on insanity.

Time is short. There are those who claim that <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> will have one or more nuclear bombs within six months. Others say two years and there are some who claim it will be ten years. We know they have missiles to deliver nuclear warheads to <st1:country-region><st1:place>Israel</st1:place></st1:country-region> and European capitals.

While <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> can be compared to Nazi Germany in many ways, there is one distinct difference. The Nazi invasion of <st1:country-region><st1:place>Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region> could be reversed. Vast tracts of land rendered unlivable because of radiation cannot be reversed. The millions that would die in an instant cannot be rescued.

The diplomatic route and the attempt to reason with the unreasonable has been exhausted. All that came of diplomacy was three long years of wasted time as Iran moved ever-closer to achieving its goal: possessing the means to bring its messiah--the Twelfth Imam--one step closer to reality.

<st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s “reality” will be the free world’s version of “Dante’s Inferno.” The world must move as one against <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> and its insanity because it is the world that is at stake. The placating, appeasing, and kow-towing must stop. There can be no “deals” or bargaining. <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region> must be stopped before it’s too late and “too late” could be as soon as this summer. When a rabid dog is coming at you, even though you love dogs, you must kill it before it kills you. You cannot bargain with a rabid dog and you cannot bargain with <st1:country-region><st1:place>Iran</st1:place></st1:country-region>.

Of course the leader of Iran wants a war - he as much as repeated it no less than three times in his letter to the U.S. president.

 

In fact - that whole letter was a less than veiled description of his bent reasons!

 

Of course one would think that by common sense Iran wouldn't want any nasty war with the west - because that's what it would be - nasty.

 

However - does the leader of Iran demonstrate clear common sense within his letter to the U.S. president? No. He feigns an attempt at pointing at so-called western injustices and tries to connect these - to the nation that he is holding fully responsible for 'everything wrong' in the world. Hardly common sense.

 

It's like he is saying that no Muslim nation is responsible - in anyway for the world's problems.

 

There are a number very rich Arab nations - who may be as attached to western style comforts and - the best in life - while others [even in the Muslim world] go without.

 

He doesn't mention these. Why not?

 

By standards that we all know - Iran itself has much more than many other nations - they have an infrastructure that brings hydro and other services to their homes.

 

Is that the norm for the world's six billion people? Not.

 

So - are we to think then that he is being presumptuous and hypocritcal?

 

In Iran there is as much 'consumption' as there is in the west. It may be on a different level but - it's as much there - all the same.

 

Even if you compare Iran to Mexico or the Central American nations - Iran has more.

 

So what is Iran prepapred to do - to change - to help in the so-called equal distribution of things? Not much considering that their leader only singles out 'the west' as the 'offenders' in this regard.

 

Certainly the west does not want war with Iran or - any nation - but - what do you do if there are these less than subtle indicators - that show it's on the horizon? Clearly the letter written by the leader of Iran sets out their agenda and - their desires for an apostate Isalmic Revolution and global republic.

 

They say that the west is doing this [spreading its own democratic ideology] - but - the west isn't contemplating any genocides!

 

If the west is interested in any regime changes - in some place or another - then it's got more to do with the leaders of a nation playing an ill-game and - being a particular kind of threat to too many others.

 

We should have learned about apathy and genocide from the past - let's hope the 'free' world has an understanding that one does not wait for the mass graves - to act to check its progess...

 

Again - the leader of Iran would try to say that the west is engaged in a gencide of Muslims - especially Arab Muslims - but - that isn't true - not in the least.

 

Given the chance - their Islamic revolution could and would turn to genocide - there are enough comments from enough of their 'leaders' to make one see that!

 

Of course these people do NOT actually represent Islam. The sooner the REAL Muslims in the world - start speaking out - with a single voice - against this - then they too shall be targets of this revolution.

 

We can pray to God that there be a settlment of these things as directed by Him - there doesnt need to be any wars - but - we cannot be too sentimental and think that these risks shall just disolve away at His Hand - we must do what we can - to pray to Him to be able to educate others about the facts and - if the fight comes - we know that the west cannot back down - even if Russia and China decide to show more of their duplicity in this connection. [no offense to them]

 

We must NOT under estimate either these problems nor - the power of sincere prayer to move the situation into a better direction.

 

The only thing that can avert a war with Iran may be an inward-revolution - a civil war - from within...could it happen? Could God dish that out to the leaders of Iran?

Days after receiving an 18-page letter from Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President George W. Bush called the lengthy missive "an act of war" and demanded that Iran halt its production of long letters at once.

 

At the White House, aides said that writing a letter of such length to President Bush, who is known for his extreme distaste for reading, was the most provocative act Mr. Ahmadinejad could have possibly committed. They said they were waiting for Israel to tell them how to respond.

 

"Everyone knows that the last book the president read was 'My Pet Goat,'" one aide said. "Expecting him to read an 18-page letter is really asking for it, and that Iranian dude must have known that."

 

According to those close to Mr. Bush, the president was infuriated upon receipt of the 18-page letter and asked aides if it was some kind of joke.

 

The president then demanded that the letter be boiled down to a one- or two-page format, or possibly adapted to a DVD version, just as he had ordered for news reports on Hurricane Katrina.

 

In Tehran, President Ahmadinejad said he was "taken aback" by Mr. Bush's refusal to read an 18-page letter, but said that all his future communications to the U.S. president would be in short, easy-to-read instant-messaging format.

 

In his first IM to President Bush, released to the press today, President Ahmadinejad writes, "Am building nukes. R U angry? LOL."

 

Elsewhere, Air Force Gen. Michael V. Hayden vowed today that as director of the CIA he would push the agency to find more and better sources of false intelligence and would be flying to Tel Aviv at once.

<!-- -->How Bush Brewed the Iranian Crisis

 

by Paul Craig Roberts/ from Antiwar.com

Why did the Bush regime create a crisis over Iran?

 

The answer is that the Bush regime is desperate to widen the war in the Middle East.

 

What has Iran done? Unlike Israel, Pakistan, and India, countries that developed nuclear weapons on the sly, Iran signed the nonproliferation treaty. Countries that sign this treaty have the right to develop nuclear energy. The International Atomic Energy Agency monitors their energy programs to guard against the programs being used to cloak a weapons program. Until the Bush regime provoked a crisis, Iran was cooperating with the inspection safeguards. The weapons inspectors have found no Iranian weapons programs.

 

There is no evidence for the Bush regime's accusation that Iran is developing nuclear weapons. What the Bush regime is trying to do is to unilaterally take away Iran's right under the Nonproliferation Treaty to develop nuclear energy. It is the Bush regime that is violating the treaty by attempting to deny its benefits to Iran. The Bush regime is acting illegally because of its paranoid suspicion that five or 10 years in the future Iran will use what it has managed to learn about uranium enrichment to develop a weapons program.

 

Why is the Bush regime concerned about what Iran might do in the future? Is it because the U.S. government intends to continue its bullying in the Middle East and is worried that Iran will get tired of it and develop nuclear weapons as a check on U.S. hegemony over the Muslim world? Why does the Bush regime think that its interest in the Middle East takes priority over the interests of the countries that are located there?

 

In a CNN TV interview on Sunday, May 21, the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, said that it was only a matter of months before Iran would be making nuclear weapons.

 

Olmert's claim is absurd, as every weapons expert knows, and, indeed, as he knows himself. The only possible purpose of such a nonsensical claim is propaganda. Olmert is helping the Bush regime use fear to prepare Americans to accept an attack on Iran, just as Dick Cheney and Condi Rice invoked images of mushroom clouds to prepare Americans for the illegal invasion of Iraq.

 

One might think that having been deceived by the Bush regime over Iraq, the American people would have their eyes open to deception this time around. But apparently not. The same public that gives Bush a mere 30 percent approval rating, largely because of the Iraqi fiasco, is making no demands that Bush stop his march to war with Iran.

 

Not a day passes without new threats and lies issuing from Dick Cheney, Bonkers Bolton, and Condi Rice, and no one holds them accountable. The U.S. media is proud to be complicit in lies and war crimes.

 

Ah, but the Iranian president said that he was going to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth."

 

He did not. He said that Israel should be wiped off the face of the Middle East in the sense of being removed to Europe. He was making the rhetorical point that if the Europeans so favored a Jewish state, why did the Westerners not give the Jews part of Europe or North America? Why did they give the Jews Palestine, which was not theirs to give?

 

One may agree or disagree with the Iranian's point, but it was not a threat to kill the Jews.

 

The Iranians cannot kill the Jews even if they wanted, because Israel has nuclear weapons. Being somewhat paranoid – not altogether without reason – Israel is not going to sit there and be destroyed.

 

The U.S. cannot forever dominate the Middle East on behalf of its interests and Israel's. The U.S. is running out of resources. The U.S. is heavily in debt, yet continues to hemorrhage red ink. Washington is dependent on foreigners to finance its wars. The American middle class is beginning to experience employment problems and income stagnation. The neocons' idea that the U.S. can patrol Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Syria in perpetuity is insane. The Bush regime has proven that the U.S. cannot even occupy Baghdad.

 

Unless the U.S. government intends nuclear genocide against Muslims, it cannot prevail in war in the Middle East. A solution in the Middle East requires diplomacy and good will, not threats and aggression. Yet the Bush regime refuses to even meet with Iranian leaders.

 

By refusing to meet, talk, and negotiate, Bush is telling Iranians that they have no choice. Either they comply and do what Bush demands, or they will be attacked.

 

That is the Iranian Crisis in a nutshell.

At least seven times since 2005. Bush wants war, period. Think of this, what is the best thing to happen to bush? 9-11 is the answer. Without war bush would be a non person, a one term failure. He has failed everything he has ever done, he was a lousy student, a goof-off serviceman who was hooked on alcohol and cocaine, one failed business after another. His only success was the texas rangers, and he only succeeded because he stayed out of it for the two short years he had papers. Without daddy and granpa nazi bush, hed probably be working as a grocery stocker somewhere, probably a good guy to smoke a reefer with out in the parking lot during breaktime.

 

The president of Iran, on the other hand, was a victim of the shahs excessive fascism which was destroyed by the revolution. A kali revolt, of course, the victor just as bad or worse than the vanquished. But he gets his orders from the mullahs just as bushitter gets his orders from the same order givers of all the prezzes since kennedy was shot trying desparately to defy them.

 

Iran dont want war with US. They want Israel to suffer, they may want war with Israel, but last time i looked, Israel is NOT the USA.
