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.

'Frustrated Palestinians may target U.S. interests with suicide attacks because of Washington's support for Israel...'

Please do, it will provide complete moral clarity for those feeble minded in our society that think the Palestinians actually want peace.

[winodog]

To hell with the islamic dogs. Bring it on. The sooner they start suicide attacking us, the sooner we can kick their butts out of America.

[Timesink]

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

[Ahban]

These people seem to be totally insane and I see no choice for Israel but to keep killing them until the last mad dog among them is dead.

If we had 50 Million twisted, hate driven, Osama Bin Ladens living amoung us we would do the same.

[Woahhs]

oh I don't know...if we play our cards right...

[classygreeneyedblonde]

The only way to stop the violence is to do away with the terrorists!

I hope you are kidding.

In Syria, some 1,000 Palestinian and Iranian protesters marched through the streets of the al-Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus,
calling on the extremist Hamas group to continue suicide bombs attacks against Israeli targets.

In a speech to the protesters, a Hamas chief, Khaled Mashaal, urged Arab states to stop mediating between the Israeli and Palestinian sides, instead calling on them to send arms to the Palestinians.

Meanwhile, in Jordan, Christians held prayed and fasted in solidarity with the Muslims who are observing Ramadan.

What's wrong with this picture?

Hint,it's highlighted.

Correct. Reality can be a stone cold bitch sometimes. There's no small amount of housecleaning needed here, either.

Who have we kicked out since 9-11?

Close the borders, deport NOW!

[mlocher]

agreed! we do not need another attack on us interests to justify getting rid of them. btw -- doing away with them with life in jail is fine with me. as long as they are outside the bounds of society...

[Poohbah]

In this corner, massing 280 million people, most of whom are literate, with a fabulous military capable of deeds ranging from killing one terrorist shopping in a Teheran bazaar to incinerating an entire continent...the YEW-KNIGHT-TED STA-A-A-TES OF AM-MER-RICK-UH!

In this corner, massing 1 BILLION, 200 million people, 50% of whom are completely illiterate and would be AM-MAZED by a color TV, with military forces skilled in either mass human wave attacks or running like hell...the ISLAMIC WORLD!

All right, America, you can expect below-the-belt hits...but if he scores one your manager can haul out the shootin' iron and cap him while I'm cleaning my glasses.

LET'S GET READY TO RU-UM-BLE!

Maybe the week after Christmas before New Years, we can visit Syria/Lebannon to thin out the fanatic herd there. Darwin will be helping us it from the way things sound!

[backhoe]

'Frustrated Palestinians may target'

Bring it on, fools!

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...

We'll be quicker this time around.....

[Uni-Poster]

Somebody needs a hug. Save the earth, hug a terrorist.

Rafsanjani, who served as Iran's president from 1989-97, told worshippers that the West must curb escalating Israeli-Palestinian violence or face a ''third world war.''

Why just the West, why not Iran, which supports Hamas and Hezbolla.

[denydenydeny]

This is strictly wishful thinking on Rafsanjani's part. However, the phrase "be careful what you wish for" comes to mind.

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

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? I don't want to make the German and Japanese actions 60 years ago sound positive in any way, but that was a WW.

Maybe they would like a daisy cutter or two?
