| Khamenei: "Carrots & Sticks" Won't Fly on Persian Carpet |
| 2006-06-16 |
| The supreme leader of Iran yesterday gave the sternest rejection to date of the international package of incentives designed to coax Teheran into abandoning its nuclear ambitions. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said: "The Islamic Republic of Iran will not bend to these pressures." He was referring to the diplomatic "carrots and sticks" agreed earlier this month by America, Britain, France, Germany, China and Russia. |

| #9 "Iran will not bend" Okay, that leaves fold, spindle, mutilate, pulverize, explode, and glass-over for starters. I vote for explode and glass-over. |

| #7 I'm fairly sure that carrots didn't exist in the Profit's time (PTUI), so obviously they are unIslamic. That leaves us with sticks, which Mo wielded personally. Therefore, it's sticks only for the Twelfth Imam...and Allan knows best! |

| #6 Sticks and stones may breaker my bones but whips and chains excite me. |

| #4 Well, if nuts can fly on a persian carpet, then I don't see why carrots and sticks can't. |

| #2 Iran warning to use "nuclear defense" against any US or Israeli attack doesn't bode well either. Are domestic energy nuclearized power plants = "nuclear defense"??? Must be planning to blow their "plants" up. |
