>>" Guess all those chants of Marg Bar Amrika (Death to America) are just a quaint Persian traditional custom, huh? "<< Yeah, I have seen the Ayatollah speaking to a bunch of Iranian Air Force officers on C-Span and they responded with that kind of crazy stuff. Can you imagine if their leader had called us part of the Axis of Evil during a SOTU speech and their entire elected government stood up and cheered and we knew that that country had several thousand Nukes, many ready to be launched on a moment's notice by the guy spouting out the Axis of Evil nonsense and who is known to talk frequently to his god?

"Guess all those chants of Marg Bar Amrika (Death to America) are just a quaint Persian traditional custom, huh?" LOL. Sticks and stones...you have got to be one of the biggest wimps around. I have spent 80% of my life under the threat of 10,000 Russian nukes pointed at me . And about 60% of it watching a large variety of Arabs yell that. And Nixon getting stoned in South America, but not with dope. Relax. You'll get over it. Oh, my...Marg Bar Amrika ... I'm really scared.

Oh, and, BTW, Iran doesn't have an ICBM yet. The last one won't do it. Iran launches space missile shanghaidaily.com ================= Gettin' some help from good bud with the good soul Pooty Poot, and that Korean guy we refused to talk to for , uh, 6 years? I dunno. 5? Strange things happen when you call folks the Axel of Weevils and don't talk with them. Strange things, like the law of unintended consequences. Shahab-6 Some sources claim that the Russians are helping a solid-fuel design team at the Shahid Bagheri Industrial Group in Teheran develop a 2800-mile missile, capable of reaching London and Paris, and a 6300-mile [10,000 km] range missile that could strike cities in the eastern United States. These reports are poorly documented and would appear to be highly speculative. On August 6, 2003 a report by Sankei Shimbun cited military sources that indicated that North Korea was planning to export components of its Taepodong 2 missile to Iran where North Korean experts would assemble the components in a facility near Tehran. The negotiations between North Korea and Iran began sometime 2002 and were expected to be completed in October 2003. In May 2004 Middle East Newsline reported that Western intelligence sources Teheran had been negotiating with Pyongyang for the purchase of the Taepo Dong-2 as Iran's first intercontinental ballistic missile as well as a space launcher. It was also claimed that in 2003 North Korea had discussed the Taepo Dong-2 with Libya and Syria, but neither country expressed serious interest. On 16 February 2005 Vice Admiral Lowell E. Jacoby, U.S. Navy, Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, testified that "We judge Iran will have the technical capability to develop an ICBM by 2015. It is not clear whether Iran has decided to field such a missile." globalsecurity.org
