"Doesn't this make everyone think that indeed it is possible that the Bush admin staged the 9/11 attacks in order to rally people behind their intention to invade Iraq?" No kidding! This sounds like a Seymour Hirsch project... I've always thought the 911 setup thing was a bit far fetched but...it also makes one wonder how Osama has remained at large all this time.

Iran might cut ties with UK 10/18/2005 1:00:00 PM GMT Iran's leading newspapers called on Ahmadinejad’s government to suspend diplomatic ties with UK Iran's leading newspapers called on Ahmadinejad’s government to suspend diplomatic ties with UK after the Iranian President accused London of being involved in the deadly bombings that shook southern Iran last weekend, Reuters news agency reported Tuesday. Iran was "very suspicious about the role of British forces" in Ahvaz blasts, which killed six people and wounded 100 others on Saturday, the Iranian President said. Kayhan, one of Iran's leading newspapers, whose editor-in-chief was appointed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called on the government to reconsider its ties with London. "Tolerating imposed crisis is against our dignity," Kayhan said. "We should start with mild reactions like closing the British embassy and eventually sever the ties." Demonstrations Yesterday, members of Iran’s religious minority communities arranged massive demonstrations in front of the British embassy in Tehran denouncing its staunch stance against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, according to IranMania News. They issued a joint statement condemning the passive attitude of the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in dealing with Iran’s nuclear program. They also slammed the EU big states; Britain, France, and Germany for refraining from their commitments to Tehran and surrendering to the U.S. pressures to lobby their support to its stance towards Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Iran’s religious minorities have never been passive when it comes to the destiny, territorial integrity, and political, economic, and scientific independence of the country, the statement said, adding that the groups won’t tolerate a situation in which the country is deprived of its legitimate rights, referring to Iran’s right, under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Tehran has showed great willingness and readiness for cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog over the past two years. Thus, any effort to prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear technology is regarded as a politically motivated, the statement said. The Iranian religious minorities ended their statement saying: - Adopting an independent approach toward Iran’s nuclear program will would boost the IAEA's credibility and thus, Iran’s religious groups call on the agency to ignore the U.S. and the EU pressures. - Negotiation is the best way to end Iran's nuclear standoff. - Iranian religious minorities condemn the international community’s unjust approach toward Iran’s nuclear program. - The West’s charges regarding the religious minorities’ human rights situation in Iran is nothing but a political move (aimed at fueling sectarian tension in the country and thus destabilizing it).
