Iran Warns U.S.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Thursday that Iran would respond to an attack by striking against U.S. interests around the world. Iran's supreme leader noted that President Bush is seen as reckless, but suggested "it is possible to bring this kind of person to wisdom." That's easy for him to say; we've been trying for a long time without any luck.
