 merrie says: from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Would the Pakistanis or the Moroccans burn their homeland by joining "the ball of fire" because Khomeinism is denied the bomb? The "ball of fire" is a poetic expression, and I wondered where it came from. Would Turks and Algerians jump on the "ball of fire" to show solidarity with a regime that has helped terror groups against them for decades? Even the Syrian rulers are unlikely to risk their survival by trying to jump on El-Baradaei's "ball of fire" to please the mullahs. They like the mullahs' money, not the mullahs themselves. Despite Tehran's massive handouts in recent years, one doubts even Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in general would take risks to show solidarity with a regime that, while generous, has been trying to impose ideological control. That leaves the branches of the Hezbollah, especially the largest and best-financed Lebanese one. But then, as always what Hezbollah does will be decided in Tehran not Beir Khomeinists, as they have stated repeatedly, do not care about Iran or even Islam as such. Their primary concern is the survival of their regime. Their Constitution gives their "Supreme Guide" the right to suspend even the basic rules of Islam if that is needed to protect the regime. For them there is no Iran and no Islam without Khomeinism. As the ousted commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), General Yayha Safavi, warned several months ago, Tehran's military options are limited. One option is to close the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting the flow of oil. This could be done by mining the waterway. But the waterway could be cleared quickly. Even if it remains closed for we... I love the statement El Baradaei made about Iran, "Oh, they are at least 6 months away from a nuclear bomb." And that is supposed to make me feel better. What a dope. |
