IRAN: NUCLEAR SUICIDE BOMBERS? By MICHAEL LEDEEN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March 11, 2003 -- THE story of Iran's mad dash to develop nuclear weapons is finally attracting attention. The most recent alarm is in Time magazine, quoting various experts to the effect that Iran is far more advanced than previously believed. Much of this information has been in the hands of the United States government, including some that has not been made public - including reports of a clandestine heavy water project, and the identities of numerous nuclear physicists and technicians from the former Soviet empire, above all Ukraine. Just a few weeks ago, Georgia's President Eduard Shevardnadze warned the world that top Georgian atomic experts had gone to Iran to work, and he was greatly alarmed at the discovery. As we contemplate the significance of this "breaking news," keep two main points in mind. 1) The relationship between Iran and North Korea is still underappreciated. Many people laughed at President Bush when he included North Korea in the Axis of Evil. They are not laughing today, but they still have not understood the intimacy of the relationship between Pyongyang and Tehran. Iran has had many teams working with the North Koreans for years now. Iran has tested North Korean missiles, while North Koreans have dug a tunnel network around the west and north of Tehran, so that the Iranians can conduct activities safe from the prying eyes of our spy satellites. And the North Koreans have helped the Iranians with their nuclear program as well, which is one of the reasons Iran has advanced so rapidly. Moreover, the Iranians have fully appreciated the effect of "going nuclear." They think the North Koreans have buffaloed the United States, and they believe Iran will only be able to stand up to American power if they possess nuclear weapons. 2) The mullahs are determined to obliterate Israel. Former President (and actual strongman) Hashemi Rafsanjani gave a speech many months ago in which he said that the moment Iran obtained nuclear bombs, they would be used to destroy Israel. He added that even if Israel responded in kind, and wiped out Iran in its entirety, it would still be an enormous net gain for Islam: Nearly half the Jews in the world would be killed, but only a small percentage of the world's Muslims would die in a nuclear exchange. Many will say that this is sheer bravado, but not so long ago suicide terrorism was inconceivable to most of the experts. Remember that international airline security was based on the premise that nobody would get on an airplane if they knew it was sabotaged. Thus, the key to security was insuring that every suitcase on the plane was accompanied by its owner. That guaranteed safety - unless a new kind of terrorist emerged, a killer prepared to sacrifice his or her own life in order to kill large numbers of infidels. Suicide terrorism was not invented in Iran (I believe it was first used in India and Bangladesh), but the Iranians took it to a new level of effectiveness when they sent trucks into the American Embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon in the mid 1980s. The cult of suicidal "martyrdom" was openly embraced by the Ayatollah Khomeni's regime, and as recently as last autumn, government-sponsored rallies in Tehran had sign-up tables for suicidal volunteers. All of this brings us back to the fundamental, unanswered questions about our war against terrorism: Why are we doing nothing to support the Iranian people's efforts to rid themselves of their monstrous regime? How can it be that Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage publicly claims that Iran is a "democracy"? Why are we making deals with Iranian-sponsored Shi'ites regarding the future government of Iraq? The true nature of the Iranian regime is obvious to anyone with a minimum of curiosity: It tops the State Department's list of countries that sponsor terrorism. It is now public knowledge that the mullahs are literally hell-bent on producing nuclear weapons. Will we finally move against all the components of the Axis of Evil, or must we wait until President Bush's analysis is confirmed by a new act of horror? I agree with most of the points in this article which confirms that the regimes around Isreal will use WMD to get rid of Isreal if they had them so.. who is the bigger threat ???

You are still dodging MY question from another thread SO I will post it again.... Please answer.. ????Normal seriously, all kidding aside what can you contribute to solving this terrrorism promblem we have???

See how silly you people sound "What has Sadam done to us"? "Bush is the real threat" always looking at the cup half empty, ball of negativity, a minus to any operation, useless... get my point? The left always bitch and point out flaws with no answers...

I mean really what else is coming out of your corner then blame America first?? This so called lit obviously states that we created our promblem but what does that solve?? See how silly you people sound "What has Sadam done to us"? "Bush is the real threat" always looking at the cup half empty, ball of negativity, a minus to any operation, useless... get my point?

Got me

To be honest didn't even read it at first but what does it prove?? That Bill O'reilly disagree's with rap lyrics? don't you beleive they can harm a child.. Below he proves his point.. It is the rap industry trying to play the race card O'REILLY: Do you think a 9-year-old kid has any idea where these guys come from, what they do? He hears or she hears these insidious lyrics that they -- some of them, unsupervised mostly -- adopt in their presentation, sir, all right. And, once they do that, that hurts them, it stigmatizes them, and they can't fight the battle they need to succeed. Oh and I give too shits about the rap industry.. This is nonsense ooh you really caught me you really showed me up thanx I don't know what I would have done if I didn't know O'reilly argued with some rap mogul

Bigmahs reincarnated:D

Who cares...he makes sense...

This was not obtained from the Fox news archives. How do I know it's authenticity?? You and your but buddy Moonbeam could have rewrote this!!!! moonbeam:peeright: ..normal

Go kill yourself Woodstock!!! Don't you have to string your guitar for tonight's session of Kum-ba- yaa???

This is another example of shit...

If this article, which was written by another LOON like yourself were true. The competing news stations which are trailng for ratings would definetly exploit the oppurtunity to show up Fox and O'Reilly so this peice of shit you justed posted is a farse!!!

Who cares about the Source and Ludicriss that just filler so they seem well rounded.

That's the best you can come up with WEAK!!!!

wHAT SHOULD THEY CONCENTRATE REPORTING ON THE RAINFOREST???? The media is tilted towards the Right because right now it's the only party in this country that actually has coherant & logical answers for promblems that face America. The Democrats are only contributing by making ASSUMPTIONS that things aren't going well, but have fallen on their faces time and time again..... ie... Dems- "We are losing the war on terror with Alqaeda" Facts- Sheik Mohammed the #3 man responsible for operations was captured and " A TREASURE TROVE OF INFORMATION" was found.. Dems- The economy is in the toilet...\ Fact- There is a world recession which is effecting everyone. The U.S expanded in the year 2002 which absolutely didn't happen in France and Gernmany and the rest of Europe many which are experiencing negative growth.... See Normalnoises the democrats are losing the P.R. game everything they stand for, if they stand for anything?? is turning to crap and that is evident in the elections which put the senate back into Republican control....

Dude seriously what's the matter with you??? Were you in a bubble since the 60's and just released??? The whole middle east is a fucking time bomb, the people of the region are not to blame it's the leadership. If you are moaning about racism why not protest the reasoning behind some arab countries refusal to condem terrorism??? The threat is there! you can't appease and ignore it, that's what the Clinton and the rest of the then democratic government did... ***Seriously if you think this govt is so opressive what do you think about the govt's of Iran Iraq or even SAUDI ARABIA????

Simmer down BITCHBOY you are starting to agitate me... The type of responses you give to current events are demostrated in your sig...Blame America first and forget about the promblem at hand.. You are a hippie revolutionary that has been deepLy distorted from TOO many conspiracy theory novels. I understand that you sometimes get attacked for your views but you bring it upon yourself.

Their citizenship should be revoked...

It's the no spin zone bitch ass. What would you rather watch Real time with Bill Maher??? His only argumant against the war is what has sadam done to us lately??? I would pay 50 bucks to see Bill Oreilly or Sean Hannity on that show to teach that little whinning bitch boy Maher the real thraet we are facing.. I sware I would give a limb to watch someone tear into that asshole!!!!

Non existant bitch boy??? YOU SIT SHELTER IN YOUR FUCKING WHOLE IN SEATLLE OR WHAT EVER YOUR FROM BLINDED BY YOUR SICK TWISTED VIEWS THAT EVERY ONE CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE BEING VIOLATED...OR A VICTIM OF RACISM. What do you know about racism are you black? You make me sick throwing that word around!!!
