Iran's defense minister says if Israel attacks Muslim republic, Iran and its allies can retaliate, 'put Israel in coma' similar to that of PM Sharon. Iran a lunatic regime, Israel's ambassador to U.N. says earlier Wednesday
Iran threatens again: Iran's Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said Wednesday that the country and its allies could put Israel "in an eternal coma," like that of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, if Israel attempts to attack the Muslim republic.
"Israel does not have the courage to attack Iran, and if it commits such a big mistake, the defenders of Islamic Iran will put Israel in an eternal coma like Sharon," he said in a television appearance.
Najjar, who branded the United States and Israel as "the great and little Satan, who are using psychological war to intimidate Iran," was responding to recent statements by Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, who said Israel may attack Iran if diplomatic measures to neutralize its nuclear armaments efforts fail.
"The state of Israel will not be able to accept Iranian armament, and must prepare to defend itself. The Iranian president's regime supports terror in the Middle East by providing terror organizations with rockets that threaten Israel, money and knowledge," Mofaz said at the Herzliya Conference Saturday.
Earlier Wednesday, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Dan Gillerman Iran's planned Holocaust conference was "proof of what a global threat Iran really is."
"I fear that the only reason Iran is showing so much interest in the Holocaust is because they may be preparing another Holocaust and it is up to the world and the United Nations to prevent that from happening," Gillerman said on the sidelines of the opening of the "No Child's Play" exhibit at the U.N. commemorating Holocaust remembrance week.
"Iran is proving yet again what an extreme, fundamentalist, lunatic regime it is," Gillerman said.

Why does this country still exist?
The mullahs have put the U.S. and the rest of the world in a position where we have to act and invade now or we will have no future what so ever.
But since most "enlightened" people think the story told in the Megillah is a myth, I suppose it doesn't make much difference.
Because the moslems invaded Persia in the seventh century of the common era, and the few z*r*astrians left (the Parsis of Bombay) don't believe in reconverting it, since G-d supposedly puts us precisely in those religions he wants us to be in and we're not supposed to change. In other words, Iran is supposed to be moslem now.
Another Iranian religion, bahai, says that all the world's religions and their scriptures are all simultaneously valid. The Iranians seem to have invented western religious liberalism.
"Why does this country still exist?"
Why? Two words: UNITED NATIONS
Why does the United Nations still exist, especially with "neocons" now joining the "palaeos" in their original anti-UN position? Can you get any more ecumenical than that?
Smite the jihadists wherever they are to be found. The mullahs should get their dirt nap...
Savage had a very well informed caller last night talking about Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons (nuclear) that will knock out all un-protected electrical devices.
I'm speculating if "coma" might be code for EMP attack.
They had one of those in last season of "24"
I have met, and traveled with, two girls from Iran (while I was traveling in Turkey).
They were quite leery of me at first because I was an 'American' from the Great Satan. As we got to know each other better communication increased.
They both said that they could never stand to live in Iran again because of the conditions there... once they had lived in a open society it would be impossible to go back. They went back different times to visit - but as far as I know they never went back to live in Iran - and they left about 5 years ago.
They were and are just ordinary citizens.... how much power to you think they had over their government?
How much power do you have over our government?
Do you think you would try to speak out if you KNEW that you would be arrested or worse for speaking out?
So they keep their head down and try to live their life as best they can. They hope, and dream for a better day.... but there is very little they can do other than leave.... and they can only leave if they are lucky.
Oh well, so I go by the gentile calendar. But still, it would not cause a lot of complaint among decent people of all kinds if the results of the original Purim were repeated in the upcoming Purim. "Just a-swingin' in the breeze!"
Not a problem!
....what....a...Neanderthal....
"Why must this nation, of good people and beautiful culture, music, and food, suffer like this in the hands of lunatic mullahs? "
There aren't enough good folks or they would rise up and smite the mullahs. Too bad because as you say there is a beautiful culture there.And don't preach to me about weapons, A look at the 9-11 boys would show you don't need sporty weapons.
how can you put someone in a coma when you are dead??
Lunatic Fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
We can hear you coming
We know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
We won't let you kill the laughter
Lunatic Fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
We know you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
But we're on guard this time
Against your final solution
We can hear you coming
(We can hear you coming)
No you're not going to win this time
We can hear the footsteps
(We can hear the footsteps)
Way out along the walkway
Lunatic Fringe
We know you're out there
But in these new dark ages
There will still be light
An eye for an eye
Well, before you go under
Can you feel the resistance
Can you feel the...thunder
