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.

These people seem to be totally insane

Their thinking seems to be stuck in a mode that's at least several centuries old and shows no sign of progressing. Unless you're an Islamic leader, that is. They seem to have no problem with palatial living.

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

You are probably right, but then again that's probably about what folks said after the ArchDuke was taken out in Sarajevo. You never really know in advance what will be the spark that ignites the conflagration. Plenty of kindling laying around in puddles of gasoline that's for sure.

Maybe between Christmas and New Years, we can pay a brief visit to Syria, Lebanon to remove these fanatics from the scum pond shallow end of the DNA pool!

These idiots are not watching what is happening to their scum brothers in Afghanistan, so they need to see first hand how we handle terrorists after 9/11!

running like hell

Often dropping their weapons for their enemies to pick up...and sell on the American Surplus Market, if only as parts. :)

If the Pals start doing "martyrdom" suicide operations to kill American civilians, that will be the end of them and their cause. Surely, they're not that stupid.

This is not a warning. This is the diplomatic way of issuing a threat. Bring it on, Islamo-quack!

And what makes them think that they will not smell the Daiseys (cutters that is) if they do?

Here's an earlier thread on vague speculation that Iran might be connected to the anthax mailings and/or the 9/11 attacks.

Sure, right -- Islam is a peaceful religion. Then how come all its believers are violence-crazed? ISLAM -- THE RELIGION THAT LOVES TO HATE. The only thing Islam understands is force. Let's Roll!!!

''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.

A reasonable fellow. I think we can work with him.

We agree then. I do not want them to do it but it is obvious that the only our gov.org might do anything to protect us if more americans lose their lives on our soil. I hate to say that but it is true.
