TEHRAN, Iran - Frustrated Palestinians may target U.S. interests with suicide attacks because of Washington's support for Israel, Iran's former president said Friday.

Hashemi Rafsanjani's comments came as thousands of people across the Middle East attended rallies marking the importance of Jerusalem, the holy city fought over by Muslims and Jews.

''There are no civilians in the Israeli society."

I seem to recall UBL saying that about us Americans. And when you repeatedly target the civilians of a sovereign nationa, that would be an act of war.

"Acts of ''martyrdom ... are the weapons that God has given to this (Palestinian) nation and no one can take it from us,"

No, I think I'll let ya'all do yourselves in. I certainly don't want your BS. Perhaps all of you could just do it at the same time and get it over with.

How does this work? One group praying to the God of the bible, and the other group praying to the devil?

''There are no civilians in the Israeli society. They are all invaders, occupiers and usurpers of land. They are all partners in the crime and massacre,'' said Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader.

Well, I guess there's nothing unclear about that.

"There are no civilians in the Israeli society."

"Let's murder as many Israeli citizens as we can, men, women, children, 2-year-olds, 1-month olds, armed, unarmed, soldiers, schoolgirls, makes no difference to us."

No, it's time to exterminate all Muslim terrorists and destroy the Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The Palestinians better start fearing the greatest military power in the world more than their sick version of a God. Steer clear of the US or face the series of Daisy Cutters.

"I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest this is not going to be WWIII."

By my reckoning the Cold War meets the test of a World War. Thus we are already in World War IV. Play to win.

Doesn't a WW require a wee bit more than a few nutcase suicide bombers walking into shopping malls? Like a real army, organizational capabilities and all that jazz?

How about "bombers walking into shopping malls" with nuclear or biological weapons? The only response is to go after the sponsoring nation-states. Those, in turn, have "real army, organizational capabilities and all that jazz." That, further, can make the unity of both NATO and the Islamic world disappear.

In sum: buy the current NY Times atlas of the world. If it survives the nuclear winter, its price is likely to double in the next ten years.

Yawn. I'm scared witless. So what, will this be the grandmother-in-law of all skirmishes?

Every day that passes I see another Muslim cleric mealy mouthing around the subject of 9-11 guilt. Every day that passes I see a religion and it's people so insecure and bigoted they would not live among Christians except to tolerate them. And turn a blind eye to the younger ones among them to maim and kill Christians. It doesn't sound like world war at this juncture. At this junture in the humankind, it sounds more like a prelude to Armageddon.

It took a largely rural, insular, and isolationist America about 3 1/2 years to pound that "Thousand-Year Reich" into a smouldering heap of rubble...

Not to mention simultaneously pounding the Japanese empire into a smoldering radioactive heap of rubble.

Oh yeah, and don't forget that the chinese tried us once too (in Korea) and we were outnumbered about 5 to 1 and the lost a million.

I think the odds are better for us than they realize.

Notice he didn't say WWIII, he threatened a third world war. Probably meant a Third World war (rocks, sticks?)

I've got a deal for this bearded buffoon. On January 1,2002 a ceasefire is declared. If Israel violates it we will withold all aid for Israel. If the Palestinian's violate it the Muslim world forfeits all western assistance and the Muslim world too denies all material assistance to the Palestinians.

This would work only if we produced our own oil, and they weakly hold that as their trump card. So I guess the only solution is to add to your deal that we will remove their source of wealth and either take or destroy the oil fields

And they would last for exactly how long? Please remember that Iraq was the most highly militarized state of the Islamic world and didn't exactly put up much of a fight. I am in no way discounting the threat from terrorist attacks, but a "world war" by my definition involves more than wiping say Lybia from the face of the earth. And rest assured that nobody would dare to side with them. Do we see much Islamic unity right now during the war in Afghanistan? And we are not even half mad, which we would surely be if we lost an entire city to a nuclear attack.

No offense to our efforts in WWII, in which my grandfather fought. But we should use some historical accuracy and admit that most of the heavy lifting against Germany was done by the Soviets, who had tied up much of the German army in the East by the time of the D-day.

Jehova God...... to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Sudan prepare to meet thy GOD! The ages old argument between Ishmael and Issac is soon to be resolved! The terrorist war you wage against the Apple of my Eye Israel, has weighed you in the balance, and found you wanting.

Issiah 17:1 specifically mentions Damascus Syria as becoming a smoking heap of destruction. Have you the unfortunate inhabitants, never heard of a Neutron Bomb or a Nuclear Device that the nation of Israel has in its arsenal capable of performing this? Rather than be attacked and defeated by the Hamas or Hesbolla warriors do you really think Israel would stand by and allow you to advance on them and do nothing? If you have not noticed my people do have a backbone and it comes from that pile of old bones mentioned in Ezekiel 38 & 39. You will remember also that it will take 7 years to dispose of the weapons of that war and 7 Months to bury the dead on your side! But of course your leadership has forgotten to tell you that like bin laden conveniently forgot to tell his pitiful bunch of jihadists that they would be dying to do his bidding! Sure looked like he got a good laugh and a pat on the back for that one!

When it finally becomes apparent to your group it will be too late. You will notice also that while not all of the people who live currently in my Promised Land will be the the true vine I will bless in the Milleninum 1000 years of Jesus The Christ! Unfortunately the true vine is being gathered from all parts of the world I created in absolute perfection and has trashed it by all your combined hand. I am the Only GOD (JEHOVA) and you will soon be brought low for your sin. You see in my land right now not all of the people know and acknowledge the truth I represent. Many are Atheistic- Agnostics ever learning never coming to the real truth of my Universe who humble themselves and pray to JEHOVA GOD as their protector. This is why the plan seems so confused to most observers but it is proceeding to the final climatic series of events chronologically. I am the Great I Am the Alpha and The Omega of the Universe. The final arrangement will be strikingly different than what you see now. What is currently earthy, secular and pride driven will soon be replaced with my HOLY CITY OF JERUSALEM! It will be center of my Universe and eventually the very place you stand will be re-concrated by fire not destroyed but completely re-fitted like it was before sinful men turned from me and defiled it.

A new day is coming not too far removed. This warning has been issued thousands of years ago by my Prophets who have been (killed/murdered) for their faithful efforts to warn you! Wake UP and PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD! The time of the catching away approaches. Remember this as well, All this presented here comes prior to the THREE BATTLES OF ARMAGEDDON! In the time that remains use it wisely. Salvation is of the Lord Jesus Christ! Eternity is for ever. Once the spark of life is ignited you as a human being you will NEVER DIE! Here is the decision only you will make; You will live eternally WITH GOD or ETERNALLY SEPARATED FROM GOD! liberals love a choice so if you find that you are one of them I caution you even more carefully to consider the consequences of your decisions. HELL IS REAL, satan is real and you will live with your chosen group forever. Time is short, don't fall for the Big Lie Like johnny jihad did. Procrastination is no choice its an either or selection. You did not have a choice in what got you here but you will determine where you end up!
