Khamenei denounces U.S. ''cowboy culture''...
Yee-haw!Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, denounced what he said was the "cowboy culture" of US leaders and their threats against Iran. Guess he's got to criticize for something, otherwise people forget he's there... "US leaders' spirit of adventure is inspired by their cowboy culture," Khamenei said during talks Sunday with Iranian diplomats. "If the Americans feel that they are confronted with a unified nation, they will hesitate to launch an adventure in Iran." They might also take... steps. Mightn't they? Khamenei said that "it is necessary to take the US threats seriously. These threats have existed since the Islamic revolution, and they do not mean that a US attack is certain, but the realization of these threats depends on our behaviour". The United States is trying to "destroy the Iranian regime but it is a very difficult job", he added. It has been to date. But as the regime ossifies and gets more brutal and stupid it does become easier... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-08-20 |
