| Substitute leader of Friday Prayers of Tehran Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani here Friday called on all Iraqi people to further endeavor to keep their unity. He was addressing a large congregation at the site of the Friday Prayers in Tehran University where the Ayatollah expressed his condolences over martyrdom of tens of Muslims in Ashura explosions in Karbala and Kazemein in Iraq, and also Quetta in Pakistan. He referred to the statement issued by Ayatollah Sistani in which he urged Iraqi nation to keep their unity and also the remarks of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei who stressed unity among Iraqi people under the leadership of religious Ulema, and said the explosions were perpetrated by those who tried to sow discord and division among Muslims. He further stressed that the world hegemony, the Zionist Israel and the US were now oppressing the human community and described the Islamic Revolution in Iran as a government and a revolution which is religious and democratic. The prayers leader said that there are now people in a certain place in the world, namely Iran, who talk only according to principles of Islam and this makes the world hegemony to take every measure to prevent its repetition in any other place on the globe. Condemning explosions in the three Muslim cities, he said while the US is claiming to be fighting Al Qaeda, the truth is that the US itself has developed, nurtured and cultivated this terrorist organization and now that the remains of the former Iraqi regime are joining it, the occupiers are just standing by watching their crimes. Believing that fear of Islam is the motivation behind all these crimes, Ayatollah Emami Kashani said the occupiers claim to be safeguarding security in Iraq whereas they fail to do so and even support those who create insecurity. |

| #7 Right so not killing terrorists and letting them grow in numbers and spread is any better? Give it up, if its between me and the other guy dying (the terrorists in this case) it'll always BE the other guy dying. |

| #6 Is that why Greenspan made his announcement about Soc Sec at this time? You have any proof for that assertion? I wonder if the fact that both political sides have admitted that SocSec is a ticking time bomb for the last 20 years has anything to do with it? |

| #5 The point is that Bush's plan to kill all the terrorists is irrational (reckless). The more Bush kills the more evidence he provides that the US is dangerous to the world. Bush is taking us down a road that leads to our ruin. Ask George Tenet: we are less secure now than we were a year ago. (Why do you think that Greenspan made his announcement about Social Security at this time? He wants to make it clear to us--Bush is a walking disaster for the US. |

| #2 kinda reminds me of our left complaining about using 911 footage in Bush's ads. If this is what they are reduced to arguing - they are in deep kimshee. |

| #1 Fuck this noise. All this sectarian and regional diplo-crap and sensitivity and tip-toing around just emboldens the asshats of every stripe. Total mistake and waste of time. Gloves off - everywhere. Sorry, State Dept, et al: They will get it when you shove it down their throats. |
