Ahmadinejad's World
Matthias Küntzel ^ | Matthias Küntzel

Posted on 09/16/2012 7:01:27 AM PDT by Popman

In pondering the behavior of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I cannot help but think of the 500,000 plastic keys that Iran imported from Taiwan during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-88. At the time, an Iranian law laid down that children as young as 12 could be used to clear mine fields, even against the objections of their parents. Before every mission, a small plastic key would be hung around each of the children’s necks. It was supposed to open for them the gates to paradise.

“In the past,” wrote the semi-official Iranian daily Ettela’at, “we had child-volunteers: 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds. They went into the mine fields. Their eyes saw nothing. Their ears heard nothing. And then, a few moments later, one saw clouds of dust. When the dust had settled again, there was nothing more to be seen of them. Somewhere, widely scattered in the landscape, there lay scraps of burnt flesh and pieces of bone.” Such scenes could henceforth be avoided, Ettela’at assured its readers. “Before entering the mine fields, the children [now] wrap themselves in blankets and they roll on the ground, so that their body parts stay together after the explosion of the mines and one can carry them to the graves.”[1]

This is an article from 2006...but considering recent news events dealing with Iran and the Obama administration complete lack of any rational foreign policy dealing with any Islamic country or entity...this is a reminder who Ahmadinejad is and what he is capable of...

Bibi is spot on..

These days, the keys will come from the Mullah’s allies in Red China.

Everyone needs to read that. Islam has been perverted into something that defies the Koran.

This type of racialism sending little boys into minefields is a perversity of Islam....and humanity...

But as a whole, the Koran is a cancer on the mind and soul...

Every single solitary atrocity inflicted on human beings in the name of Islam is no perversion of Islam.

It is TRUE ISLAM!

“Islam is harmful to children and other living things.”

When it’s their own kids and themselves who are being blown up, the Iranian leadership will suddenly decide it’s time for peace. They’re conscience-less pussies who will gladly send other people’s kids to die and sleep in their warm beds at night, but when it’s their own hind quarters on the line, it will be a different story.

Ahmadinejad's insane. Americans need to understand that...

Iran sets up a meeting with Obama 6 months from now... at the UN or some such public place - TV cameras are present...

Five nukes explode over Israel.

An Iranian (maybe Ahmadinejad ) turns to the President and says, "We have nukes positioned in the United States - one in Washington DC, one in New York City, one in Chicago and others spread among your other cities."

Then with a telling arrogance he says, "Everyone in Israel is dead - there's nothing to fight over - the world can have peace now. The Jews are dead. There's no reason millions of American citizens must die. Those deaths won't bring Israel back..."

"Millions more Americans will die if you move against me - you must hear me out", he says. There's nervous laughter in the room. Obama says he needs more time. His SS agents move in to arrest Ahmadinejad.

A stolen (?) suitcase nuke is exploded over MacDill AFB in Tampa.

Ahmadinejad tells the President to check with MacDill - that MacDill has been destroyed.

Panic sets in... The President of the United States is told to surrender or other American cities will be destroyed - one every 10 minutes... He also demands the United States disarm - immediately - his 'friends' - the Russians (or Chinese) - will help with that process. Hesitation - and 2 more cities with CENTCOM centers are destroyed.

Obama is told if Iran is attacked all US cities will be destroyed. Russians back up the threat.

Obama is President - what do YOU think he'll do?

He surrenders. It's over - less than one day and it's over...

That's why we stand with Israel. We're in this with them - have no doubt about that... if they go down, we go down with them....

Did you see this part of the article? Iranians really did this - they used children to blow up mines... The children were blown up as cheap way to find mines. Read it.
