| Majid Heydari, standing at the grave of his brother, who died in an Iraqi poison gas attack, said: 'I would be happy to fight the Americans because they are coming here to attack us.' Line forms on the right... But by a nearby grave Efat Farahani, whose brother was also killed, said: 'I hope Saddam pays for the blood he has shed. Maybe America is right to take revenge for all that bloodshed.' "The enemy of my enemy..." But a taxi driver, who asked to remain anonymous, snarled angrily that the Iranian government was right to fear that it was the next US target, and that in that case 'people are saying, "maybe a few hundred will get killed but at least we'll get rid of the mullahs", and people would be happy about that. Yes, they are next and everyone is very happy about it.' "... is my friend." |
