That is just not so. When Saddam first invaded Iran US Iraqi relations were quite unfriendly.
The US did not tilt towards Saddam until more than 3 years into the war. |

| The American military said Tuesday that it had credible evidence linking Iranians and their Iraqi associates, detained here in raids last week, to criminal activities, including attacks against American forces. Evidence also emerged that some detainees had been involved in shipments of weapons to illegal armed groups in Iraq. |

| On June 25, 1996, Iran again attacked America at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, exploding a huge truck bomb that devastated Khobar Towers and murdered 19 U.S. airmen as they rested in their dormitory. These young heroes spent every day risking their lives enforcing the no-fly zone over southern Iraq; that is, protecting Iraqi Shiites from their own murderous tyrant. When I visited this horrific scene soon after the attack, I watched dozens of dedicated FBI agents combing through the wreckage in 120-degree heat, reverently handling the human remains of our brave young men. More than 400 of our Air Force men and women were wounded in this well-planned attack, and I was humbled by their courage and spirit. I later met with the families of our lost Khobar heroes and promised that we would do whatever was necessary to bring these terrorists to American justice. The courage and dignity these wonderful families have consistently exemplified has been one of the most powerful experiences of my 26 years of public service. |

Amir Taheri: Khomeinists hammering new strategy to oust 'Great Satan'
| Quote: |
But at almost exactly the same time, militants from some 40 countries spread across the globe were trekking to Tehran for a 10-day "revolutionary jamboree" in which "a new strategy to confront the American Great Satan" will be hammered out. The event is scheduled to start on February 1 to mark the 25th anniversary of the return to Iran from exile of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the "Islamic Revolution".
It is not clear how many militants will attend, but the official media promise a massive turnout to underline the Islamic Republic's position as the "throbbing heart of world resistance to American arrogance."
The guest list reads like a who-is-who of global terror.
In fact, most of the organisations attending the event, labelled "Ten-Days of Dawn", are branded by the US and some European Union members as terrorist outfits. For more than two decades, Tehran has been a magnet for militant groups from many different national and ideological backgrounds.
The Islamic Republic's hospitality cuts across even religious divides. Militant Sunni organisations, including two linked to Al Qaida, Ansar al-Islam (Companions of Islam) and Hizb Islami (The Islamic Party), enjoy Iranian hospitality.
They are joined by Latin American guerrilla outfits, clandestine Irish organisations, Basque and Corsican separatists, and a variety of leftist groups from Spartacists to Trotskyites and Guevarists. Tehran is the only capital where all the Palestinian militant movements have offices and, in some cases, training and financial facilities. |

Israel is not out to kill all muslims nor destroy all the muslims in the mideast , nor wipe out all muslim states in the mideast.
They even accepted Bill Clinton's peace offer , while Arafat turned it down. |

Joo knows it.....
Sooner or later, the U.S. and Iran will come to blows over something (i think it will be because of the alleged weapons in Iraq)....
The U.S. will launch a massive missile and air barrage into Iran destroying most of the military infastructure.....
then the U.S. will move in and spend trillions of dollars rebuilding what they have destroyed....
The thing is...after the U.S. destroys the Iranian military things will seem pretty quiet. The Iranians I imagine will concede defeat....then maybe 5, 10, 15 years later I suspect Iran would launch a massive attack of some sort against Israel....It would take only one large truck of explosives driven by one man do put a large dent into downtown Jerusalem....And they wouldn't do it right away because it would be expected...they will wait until someone is caught with their pants down...justifiably so...
Remember Iran has a long memory, especially when harm is done to them (SHAH??)
i just think it would be a DUMB ARZ IDEA
anyone else agree or have anything to add? |

There are better ways of dealing with Iran. Invest in the right weapons and alternative energy.
The US ought not bomb Iran, not now anyway. |
