Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei - The Grand Ayatollah --- is the Supreme Leader of Iran ...

and he's hard line Shia .... it's irrelevant what sect the President belongs to .... so him being moderate means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I didn't say it was going to end anything. If the US wanted to "end it" they could.
Nuke every military base, airport, port and a few in between and level the joint....and if they rebuild nuke em again. There would be no coming back from that. That is how you "end it".
This exercise the other day was a NEW warning shot. Carry on like salami did and end up like he did. A choice Iran need to consider.

Personally the US should have left Saddam alone. Sure he tortured and killed his own....who really cared at the time? I didn't.
Oh, thats right.....I do remember, at the time, all the do gooders and human rights activists becoming very vocal and demanding something be done about Saddam and his EVIL regime. Shall we blame them? Why not?




I did say that the mostly white carrnts on here and around the world apologising to the Iranian regime is sickening.
Salami was a terrorist to the Americans. Americans died becuase of orders salami handed down.
How long would you sit and watch someone kill members of your family or country before you retaliate? Not as long as the tanks did I bet.
I am by no means an American gov fan however observing these Hollywood elites, silly little white suppressors here and abroad, msns etc apologise to Iran is sickening.
The gutless losers won't go and live in Iran and leave the country and people they hate....NOOOOO. These scabs will live in the country they hate and praise the people they do not live with.
I think it is time the patriotic west stood up and did something about these traitorous pricks and pricketts.

Jeez - the US could've whupped a million or more at his funeral.... what a missed opportunity.. get countless silly milch cows along with the serious ratbags..... cut out the breeders and their tribe will wither on the vine...

I take it then, Graps that you excuse the crimes of the US in supporting the Shah over the people before the revolution?   The Iranian students who captured the US embassy did so out of outrage at what they had discovered once they had taken control of the files of SAVAK - the Shah's old secret police organisation.  The US was quite happy shafting Iranian people if those people didn't support the Shah, the US and of course, "the American way",

Again you are oversimplify things.  The US is there to stay, and they dont want to end it.  There are 38 known US bases stationed around Iran.  This should give you a scale and depth of US involvement in that region.   If you nuke Iran, you also threaten not only those bases, but also important allies around the region.  Remember, nuclear laced clouds can drift very far and wide.  Europe, Asia, African will not be spared.  And the Persian gulf, which is basically life line of Australian economy will be in peril.  Nuclear is not an option there.

Saddam Hussein.  No one liked him, except, when he was an ally of USA war machine against Iran. At one stage, he was even given a key to the city of Detroit.  Nevermind back then of course, he abuses human rights.  He is only becoming a baddie, during Bush times.  And then a thinly veiled excuse was set up, billions of tax payers money, thousands of soldiers died and thousands more injured to go a war on a lie.  And then when he was captured, he was hastily trialed and executed.

And now Iran.  We are resorting to illegal assissinations, taking laws into our own hands.  There is no trial, there is no jury. 

Now, this is not apologise to Iran, or Iraq.  People are questioning and self reflecting, because, how are we supposed to call ourselves the "bastion of good", "the beacon of hope", "warrior of democracy", when we are using methods and ways that are no better than our enemies, the ways that we look down to?  What difference does it make to the ordinary people who lives there, when we are just another tyrant like everyone else.

Instead, the state is forced to focus its energy on survival and defence. All the Iranian people get out of it is cheap petrol.

And I would have got away with it if it wasn't for your superior crime-fighting skills, dear.

Allah Uakbar, no?

Yeah, Iran could be the next silicon valley if they just stopped shooting their own university students on the street, imprisoning and torturing them, hanging their gays, shaking their fist at Israel and threatening to turn them to dust, fueling sectarian violence thru the region and jailing women for not wearing hijabs. But that's all our fault, we make them do all that, right?
