These Iranian leaders are serious. They cannot take care of their people, so they need a scapegoat or an imagined enemy to keep their citizens focused elsewhere instead of at home. 
So let these Iranian leaders hystericaly foment against America and Israel.  Those countries will stand strong against these fanatics.

I’ve been saying for three years that George Bush, President Cheney and their high command should be put on trial for war crimes. It’s weird to find myself in agreement with Khamenei, who’s a vicious theocrat like Pat Robertson would be if Robertson had the power to order people killed. But just because a nasty piece of work speaks the truth doesn’t mean I’m going to stop saying it too.

As Boggs notes, the United States has been guilty of crimes against humanity for the unprovoked invasion, a million deaths and counting, plus the permanent poisoning of Iraq with dirty bombs. Americans quivered in terror when John Ashcroft lied and said Jose Padilla was planning to set off a dirty bomb, but the U.S. has done that hundreds of times in Iraq with its depleted uranium weapons. For shame!

Even if he leaves office and doesn’t declare martial law, George Bush will continue to divide America in the future. After the U.S. economy collapses and the dollar becomes worthless—it’s unwinding now!—how many international economic sanctions will America be willing to endure to protect this criminal from an arrest warrant? When the Chinese and OPEC countries say “No oil or imported goods for you unless you turn them over!” will U.S. citizens still want Secret Service agents to fight to the death to protect these evil men? Will Bush and Cheney hide from justice like Ratko Mladic and Idi Amin? Is that why Bush bought the ranch in Paraguay and Haliburton re-incorporated in Dubai—as fallback countries?

Wait for it, people—it’s going to be the equivalent to the Clinton impeachment scandal for the 2010s. Bush will issue presidential pardons for all his co-conspirators just before he leaves office—he might even resign the day before his term is up and have Cheney step in as Prez so he can pardon Bush—but he won’t be able to escape the long arm of the new Neuremberg Trials.

The sad firm and irrevocable truth remains;before Israel, Islam was of little concern to America.

Indeed American executives and their families that lived throughout the ME were treated like near-royalty, now the media has implanted a message that foments fear and hate and does so w/precision.

I’m sorry, but I’ve been saying it for months. The Twig may be the first American president to be put on trial in an International court for war crimes. It’s not a new thought once you leave U.S. borders, and the longer the Administration continues its current mentality, the more international enemies it makes. With this being said openly now, this is not good news at all ... not good for the American people.

Todd, What we have allowed the Bush Gang to get away with is not funny!
They were allowed to plunder the treasury, waste the blood of our military, send bombs to Lebanon via Israel, kill over a million innocent Iraqis and steal their oil. We destroyed their country and filled their fertile farmland with depleted uranium.  The Iraqi people we didn’t kill will be sick or forever disabled with cancer and birth defects and after effects of guns and smart bombs, shattered arms legs and torsos.
The Bush Idiots have made us millions of enemies who will for many years want vengeance against us.
WE EARNED ALL THE HATE THAT IS UPON US.

AND NOW WE KNOW THAT IRAQ REALLY WAS ABOUT OIL.
HUNT OIL IN TEXAS JUST GOT A CONTRACT WITH THE KURDS TO DO THEIR OIL EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION. DOES THAT TELL YOU WHY BUSH SAYS WE NEED AN ENDURING RELATIONSHIP WITH IRAQ. (MEANING OF COURSE, AN EVERLASTING OCCUPATION!)

There is one aspect to this that many Americans are not aware:  the clerics run Iran.

President Bush is pushing for “regime change”, but, in order to do that in Iran, not only do we have to remove the Iranian President, but remove the clerics from power as well.

Any guess on the collective Iranian response if we try it again after they lived under our imposed “Shah”?

When the clerics give their support to the Iranian President, Bush’s plans are screwed…

Hey Dean - - - Funny, but I have heard Ahmadinajad say many many times that Isreal will be erased from the earth.  Now, I know that there are many non-Jews in Isreal, but I really don’t think he is talking about the Palestinians.

And yes, there are Jews in Iran, and they are persecuted beyond belief.

Facts, Facts, Facts.

Mr. Khamenei,

Please stop insulting Hitler and President Saddam Hussein !
