Please, Mr. Bush ... let's let the Iranians themselves do the job!


Iran yesterday ...



Iran today ...


The question is really a strange one. Is the Bush gang in an alliance with Al-Qaeda to topple Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his fundamentalist handlers in Tehran?

Two bombings this week in Zahedan in southeastern Iran are only the very latest in a series of incidents involving armed opposition groups based among the country's ethnic minorities. The most recent attacks again raise questions about the activities of the US military and CIA inside Iran as the Bush administration intensifies its preparations for war. In my earlier posting relating to Haliburton, I suggested that we might, in fact, be participating (perhaps unwittingly) in the attacks upon our own soldiers in Iraq.

A number of Middle Eastern experts are suggesting that we might very well be doing just that by feeding the Al-Qaeda revolutionaries in Iran. Although many Iranians (like le Rouge et le Noir's wife) would like to see Ahmadinejad's demise ... or at least his fall from power, no person in their right minds would want Al-Qaeda involvement in the future of Iran.

The first of the above bomb blasts (about ten days ago) mentioned above killed at least 11 members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) who were travelling in a bus from their housing compound to a military base. After forcing the bus to stop, the attackers triggered explosives packed in a car. Another 31 people were injured in the explosion. A further bombing, followed by sustained clashes between police and an armed group, was reported early last week.

Jundallah, a Sunni extremist group based among Iran's Baluch minority, claimed responsibility for the Wednesday bombing. Iranian police have already rounded up some 65 people allegedly connected to the organization, along with explosives and weapons. Zahedan is the capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan and is home to Iran’s estimated 1-2 million ethnic Baluchis.

According to provincial police chief Brigadier General Mohammad Ghafari: "A video seized from the rebels confirms their attachment to opposition groups and some countries’ intelligence services such as America and Britain." An unnamed Iranian official told the Islamic Republic News Agency last week that one of those arrested had confessed that the attack was part of US plans to provoke unrest in Iran. "This person who was behind the bombing confessed that those who trained them spoke in English," he said.

What we do know about this whole sordid matter is that the Bush administration has boosted its funding for "regime change" in Iran, including support for Iranian opposition groups. That has been in at least two budget proposals submitted to Congress.

We also know another thing for certain and that is that the crumbling Iranian economy and the student opposition to Ahmadinejad and Company will ultimately do the Iranian government in with or without Al-Qaeda/CIA support.

The students are the next generation of leaders in Iran; maybe we should let them do the job ... without ours or Al-Qaeda's help.

Hello Joe,

Yes noone in their right minds would like AlQaida in Iran. The saudi arabia, the pakistanese would like so much see the hell in their Iran chiite country neighbour. In Iran most people are chiites and even the minorities are minorities when counted all. But a war in Iran would divide the country, make the people fight for it, and the good people would die on the fields like during the last war.
It would be an horrible mistake for the Iranian people. First Iranian like and prefer usa from all the other countries in the world except during the Bush times. You should never forget Iran is the country the only country that can be a friendly partner. When time will to be smart enough to forget about stupid matters.
Pakistan and Saudi arabia are very dangerous. I respect the arabs in saudi since they are the owner of the Islam heritage but some of them are your worst ennemies!
some people here wrote articles saying your president was using Al Qaida to help his saudi friends.
But whatever are these articles here America becomes more and more like an ennemy country for morality. More and more candidates speak badly about USA to show they didn't agree with the one way view and politics leadership of the world. It's very sad.
See how China and Russia, two dictatorships are very appreciated here more and more especially CVhina. Can you imagine that even the socialist candidate was there and said this: "I believe in you as you are going to be the leader and make the us leadership fall down".
It's time to wake up for USA.
Soon it be too late.

About Iran 95% hate the president. Don't forget elections are bullshit. ok for bombing some no dangerous sites but don't forget save the people lives. Iranians are kind and special to make a terible effort to understand them and save them.

Take good care Joe
Be happy what ever is this world sometimes... terrible.
