Iran's Supreme Leader Urges Iraq Action
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's supreme leader on Thursday criticized Arab and Muslim silence over the U.S. attack on Fallujah, and he urged the region's governments to help the Iraqi people.


"How can Muslim and Arabic governments accept playing the role of an indifferent observer? We can hear the voice of the needy coming from Iraqi families. Doesn't this voice deserve a protest by governments and the people against the arrogant Western powers?" Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying by state-run Tehran radio.


~snip~


Khamenei said the silence over the offensive would encourage the Americans to carry out similar operations in other parts of Iraq (news - web sites).

Killing thousands of civilians, executing the injured, arresting the innocent and destroying houses and mosques in Fallujah makes the eyes and hearts restless," he said.

~SNIP~

1. WWIII. One main reason Bu$h invaded Iraq is because he wanted to go
down in history as a "war president".

Kind of silly, huh?

Bu$h is a madman.

2. Exactly and totally Chimpageddon.
Every thing the crazy monkey's done since "taking" office is to make this world worse for the common man and to bring war. Certainly the well-to-do and the ultra-rich will have their places, or caves, of refuge in Switzerland and in West Viriginia. Rev. Moon has his jungle redoubt in Paraguay. Perhaps the radiation will reach them, as well.

3. And if Bush ever truly has to face any music over this...
...he's the kind of coward that will stick a gun in his mouth.

9. Megalomaniacs want to take everybody with them.

Hitler saw his nation destroyed before he quit.

On a more mundane level, the jealous husband takes his wife and kids before "losing" them to divorce.

Bush is the worst of both.



IdEt: grammir.

5. The Arab regimes are impotent and should be swept away.
A new Arab patriotism must emerge that will unify and mobilize the Arab people. It's a shameful state of affairs with the blatant capitulation taking place. The people seethe with rage.

8. PNAC speaks the truth!
All A-rabs are stupid brown-skinned terrorists.

They must be taught a lesson.

They cannot be trusted to manage their own affairs and must be forced to accept Democracy at the point of a bayonet.

Praise the Lord!!!!!!

7. This is how it begins
One country leader speaking out against the U.S. on this. Others will soon join in. Action *will* follow. I fear what comes.

11. This might piss off the blinded-by-jingoism hawks here...
...but Khamenei is 100% correct on this issue.
