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.

Do they really want one now, with our military might already in the region and not tied down in, say Korea, or Central Europe?

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. I have a better idea. Lets round all of them up and give them Ladin's caves.

Rafsanjanifu_kface, 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.''

I've heard enough of this Arab garbage...turn 'em to glass!

It's unbelievable. 1.2 BILLION muslims, and all they do is whine and moan about Israel. 1.2 billion and THEY are scared to death of 5 million jews. I guess the 200:1 odds aren't to their liking yet. Maybe 500:1 is more up their alley.

These honourable muslims in Iran, Syria, Saudi, etc. are a complete joke. They use the Palibans as their weapon against the west. Listen to these guys... "We will get America, the great satan!!!".

"Uh, how will you do that nut job?"

"Why, we will give dynomite to the Palibans so that they may blow up pizza shops. America will surely die..."

It is time to put up or shut up you cowards!!

I hate Saddam, but at least he had the brass pair to fight, although pathetically.

'Tis interesting that the Persians (they'll point out the difference every time they can) are jumping in this. Personally, I'd say head west from Afghanistan and wheel south once we hit the Jordan River (or as far east as the IDF makes it) until we hit the Indian Ocean.

with all this talk of WWIII, lets take time to reflect on where the chief traitor has left our military over the previous eight years. it aint pretty folks, we have been weakened by a piece of dog crap who loathes the US, loathes our military, and who cares only about himself. BILL CLINTON YOU ARE A MISERABLE TRAITOR. thanks soooooo much for the "peace dividend." nice to think of the third world war, and be comforted by the thought that the chinese can land a big one on los angeles. we really are ignorant, where is the outrage??????????? personally, i take exception to the fact that thanks to billy bubba clinton, i have to worry about the chinese blowing my parts all across the land. i dont know, maybe im just crazy huh?////

You very sensible statement seems to have gotten lost in the thread. You're right, of course. We must stay on target and something tells me that's exactly what the Prez intends to do.

Completely agree. I get the feeling from most people I talk to that they realize that China will be a major threat in the coming years, esspecially over Taiwan etc. Yet they just shrug when told that they have nukes that are capable of destroying San Francisco/Los Angeles/Seattle.

Klinton will be remembered in history as the man who facilitated the true WWIII if and when the red chinese start it with their Tailand invasion.

You are probably right, but then again that's probably about what folks said after the ArchDuke was taken out in Sarajevo.

Actually, both sides prior to World War I had their invasion timetables calculated down to the hour and the Kreigsmarine would toast "Der Tag" when Germany would go to war with Britain.

What nuclear power is going to side against the combined nuclear might of America and Russia in a global war against Islamic fanaticism?

Only China is even capable of it and China is not going to commit suicide for the sake of Islam.

very true, no one will get truly upset about bubba until the chinese DO drop one in california, unfortunately thats the only way we wake up. we pride ourselves on being the sleeping giant, but perhaps we should just sleep at night and limit the excessive naps and dozing off during the day.

If Iran wants to become the next target of U.S. anger, then by all means they should continue this idiotic rhetoric.
