[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [qb] I think you're missing something crucial here, re who is Arab and who is Iranian, and how that line has been historically demarcated with impressive bouts of violence. So I find your whole analysis a little suspect. [/qb][/QUOTE]You'd think so, but it seems Hating The West makes for strange bedfellows these days- with the exception of Egypt, there is vocal arab support for Iran getting their (ahem) "peaceful" nuclear capability. Mabye it's because of all the Israel bashing Iran is doing lately, or just the general perception of the US telling arabs how to live, I cant say. Two intresting reads- one is a [URL=http://iran-votes-2005.blogspot.com/2005/06/election-few-things-to-remember.html]news [/URL]]blog from last year that points out Iran's President is not really running the show. Next is some [URL=http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1107AP_Iran_Nuclear.html?source=mypi]news[/URL] from today. [QUOTE]Former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani - a powerful figure in the country's clerical regime - warned in an interview with the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai Al-Aam that pressuring Iran over enrichment "might not have good consequences for the area and the world."[/QUOTE]Later he says: [QUOTE]"There is no worry as we will not threaten anyone," [/QUOTE]Except mabye, you know..."the area and the [i]world.[/i]" ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
