And they'll do....what?
Are these the mullahs speaking, or Khatami? Iran does a "good cop-bad cop" routine, all the time.
Don't forget that much of what is being said is for internal consumption to stave off terrorists within their own countries.
Then we have two options: To put in a repressive military dictator (because the people don't WANT a Moderate Muslim friendly to the West, the only way we could install one is through repression), or to allow Usama's buddies to take over, which is exactly what Usama wants.
If we do put in the military dictator, we'll have to defend him for decades in the UN. If we don't, the states will become extremely poor, the terrorists will take over, and will take permanent control, which is exactly what Usama wants.
If, on the other hand, we don't go to war with these countries, they will continue to support terrorism.
Which is exactly what Usama wants.
What can we do? For starters, we can kill him. Then we can figure out where to go from there. This will not be easy.
Destoy Saddam's regime....
Then ensure that Iran is economically embargo'd via MILITARY enforcement.......
No attacks... just NOTHING in or out of their country, communications, water, food, oil,.......anything......

Iran-Lebanon call for finding roots of terrorism
Beirut, Sept 29, IRNA -- Visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal
Kharrazi and Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri called for finding
the roots of terrorism here Saturday.
Kharrazi said that uprooting terrorism requires determined steps
and international cooperation, adding "one can not fight terrorism
with discrimination."
"Since the enemies of Moslem countries intend to force the
Zionist regime on the Middle East, they call the liberation movements
as terrorists while ignoring Israeli atrocities,'' he added.
Kharrazi said that any imprudent acts against terrorism will only
exasperate the problem.
He said that Moslem countries have immense capabilities and they
agree that Israel is a state that instigates terrorism in the region.
Hariri called for a clear definition of terrorism adding that
given that occupying others' territory fits this definition, struggle
for liberating occupied land can not be characterized as terrorism.
Hariri said that if the roots of the phenomenon of terrorism,
which is becoming ever more complex, is not tackled, ''we will be
defeated.''
He also referred to hidden hands taking advantage of the current
circumstances to pit islam against the west, but, ''the wise stances
taken by Moslems has prevented these situation from arising.''
Kharrazi, heading a high-ranking political delegation, was in
Syria earlier Saturday when he conferred with Al-Shara on regional and
international developments following the September 11 terrorism
attacks in the U.S.
He arrived in Beirut Saturday afternoon on the second leg of his
three-nation tour to Syrian, Lebanon and Egypt.
The Iranian minister's tour of regional countries is aimed at
further consolidating Islamic solidarity in the campaign against
terrorism and in support of Palestine's Intifada through exchange of
views with Islamic States.
