The resolution referred to the Islamic regime as an enemy of the American people and and charged Iran with seeking to obtain weapons of mass destruction.

Well, duhh!

What do you expect when your national theme song is "Death to the Great Satan?" You think we'll consider you to be friends?

Their regime is not friendly but as far as I know there is not such slogan in their national anthem

Any source that quotes with approval the Saddam-financed jail-bait chasing Scott Ritter is clearly a bigoted source.

I got information from an FBI official just back from the Middle East, today. The new Prime Minister of Iran IS the former leader of the hostage-takers. The Administration will sit on that information as long as possible, because publicly admitting it will require that action be taken. Now.

Theme song, not national anthem.

It's a metapher.

Your source should know that Iran does not have Premier. They have supreme leader and a president

And that guy was not among the hostage takers, State Dept just confirmed

I think the phrase was coined during the revolution by the Ayatollah Khomeini followers.

Time for an ass whooping that has been long overdue. Stand the f$ck by mad mullahs. You're next on the list!

This is the best possible thing that could happen.

I think the mad mullahs have stepped over the line and everyone in the world has recognized it.

I think soon the Iranian people will be free.

Iranian national anthem lyrics:

Upwards on the horizon rises the Eastern Sun,
The sight of the true Religion.
Bahman - the brilliance of our Faith.
Your message, O Imam, of independence and freedom
is imprinted on our souls.
O Martyrs! The time of your cries of pain rings in our ears.
Enduring, continuing, eternal,
The Islamic Republic of Iran.

There have been conflicting reports. Your source is another straw in the wind, but I'd like to see more evidence.

This story seems to imagine that the news media would work with Bush to beat the drums of war. I can't imagine anything more unlikely. If they are publishing negative stories about the new regime, it's probably because they had developed connections with Rafsanjani and, even as liberals, are upset by the election results. But they'll crawl back into their holes and shut up if Bush shows any signs of doing something.

publicly admitting it? all of us who are plugged into the news already know it. even if you "publicly" admitted it, I doubt the sheeple would even react - there are so many more missing persons for Greta Van Sustern to look for you know.

The new President of Iran is bad news for the mullahs. Had they continued to have someone with a reasonable demeanor, it would have split the west between the communists (progresives) and the sane ones. Now, the communists of Europe don't have any leg to stand on if they want to support a weak demeanor toward Iran.

But aren't the Iranians PROUD of their hostage-takers? I'm not getting their attitude.
