I was referring to the huge monument at Khomenei's gravesite. I don't advocate destruction of civilian infrastructure.

#5  I think that the phrase 'the billion dollar Khomeini monument' refers to the new international airport in Tehran.

It would be best to avoid bombing or sabotaging this site.

When? NATO's training operation in Israel, last week, is a good tell. By now, Defense Intelligence would have gathered all the relevant data, from Secular and ethnic minority sources in Iran. Ahmadinejad is hated by all but the Mullah class. My only military advise is to suggest that the billion dollar Khomenei Monument be totaled in the first strike.

#1  I think that Jaafari will back off his Shiite sectarianism, under Talabani pressure. Yesterday, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld predicted compromise because all parties understood the "abyss" of civil war. Message to Jaafari: you will either work for the national unity and stability of Iraq, or someone else will. As for Jaafari's militia-card, al-Sadr's jihadists are easy targets. With them out of the way, the secular unity parties - which already join Kurds, Turkemans, and anti-sharia Sunnis and Shiites - will look good to the majority. Sunnis report a body count of 1500 Sunnis since al-Qaeda (Sunni) bombed the Samarra mosque, and blame Sadrites for the revenge slaughter. Iraqis can unite on the issue of liquidating that redundant band of tinpot terrorists. Their little Mullah promised to join Iran in the event of military attacks on the "Islamic Republic." His rhetoric is his prison.
