08/22/2004: "Wanted: Protesters to go to Tehran"
Calling International ANSWER, George Soros, Michael Moore, MoveOn.org, and the entire cohort of anti-preemption politicos: you're needed in Iran:
Iranian Defence Minister Ali Shamkhani has warned that Iran might launch a pre-emptive strike against United States forces in the region to prevent an attack on its nuclear facilities.
"We will not sit (with arms folded) to wait for what others will do to us," he told Al-Jazeera television when asked if Iran would respond to an American attack on its nuclear facilities.
"Some military commanders in Iran are convinced that preventive operations which the Americans talk about are not their monopoly.
"America is not the only one present in the region. We are also present, from Khost to Kandahar in Afghanistan. We are present in the Gulf and we can be present in Iraq," he said. [Interesting admission about Iranian involvement in other countries, though he no doubt got the tense wrong regarding Iraq.]
I understand that the tinfoil hats at the International Action Center will be organizing the protests against this Iranian outrage. Soros, of course, will provide plane fare for all involved.
