The spiritual leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has warned the United States to stay out of his country's nuclear programme.

Speaking on a tour of south-east Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei said the US was arrogant, rude and deserved a punch in the mouth.

He also said Iran's presidential elections in June would not make any difference to its nuclear policy.

The US has expressed fears Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons.

Enrichment warning

Ayatollah Khamenei said it was not up to the US to decide which countries needed nuclear technology.

He also warned that Iran's forthcoming presidential elections were nothing to do with the Americans.

No president would dare violate the country's national interests because the people would not allow it, he said.

His comments came as Iran warned on Saturday it might resume suspended enrichment-related activities next week in defiance of an agreement that is underpinning nuclear talks with Europe.

Iran is concerned that negotiations are dragging on too long and has proposed a phased resumption of its nuclear activities.

Maybe not, but we can decide which countries have their nuclear capabilities destroyed!

Note to the Mullahs:

Remember, we have a couple of thousand warheads to your...what...two or maybe half dozen? Do ya really wann get into a p*ssing contest with someone who has a high-pressure hose against your frog's willie?

Oh, but we must be nice to those Iranians.. Must pay them off so they'll do what we want.. Must appease them, lest they stop acting like a civilized nation.

Thank you, Europe, for yet again demonstrating why this is a useless exercise.

This from the country that has been calling us the "Great Satan" for the past 30 years. Gee, they're real experts on civility!

[billorites]

No one likes us
I don't know why.
We may not be perfect
But heaven knows we try.
But all around even our old friends put us down.
Let's drop the big one and see what happens.

We give them money
But are they grateful?
No they're spiteful
And they're hateful.
They don't respect us so let's surprise them;
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them.

Now Asia's crowded
And Europe's too old.
Africa's far too hot,
And Canada's too cold.
And South America stole our name.
Let's drop the big one; there'll be no one left to blame us.

Bridge:
We'll save Australia;
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo.
We'll build an all-American amusement park there;
They've got surfing, too.

Well, boom goes London,
And boom Paris.
More room for you
And more room for me.
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town.
Oh, how peaceful it'll be;
We'll set everybody free;
You'll have Japanese kimonos, baby,
There'll be Italian shoes for me.
They all hate us anyhow,
So let's drop the big one now.
Let's drop the big one now.

Bombing them might not be the best method.. We're still taking flack over bombing Japan. Perhaps a limited resumption of nuclear testing of above ground explosions.. But to avoid violating the test ban treaty, let's do it in Iran. They have plenty of land not being presently used, and gosh, those unmarked unidentified installations would likely make a good staging ground.

Fifty megatons would make an excellent start.

[Logical me]

Hey, far@face, Ayatollah Khamenei, if you aren't careful we could move North. It would be a two day war, nuthead.

[softwarecreator]

We're still taking flack over bombing Japan>

No pain, no gain.

I'd rather take a little flack, then take a dose of radation.

Sounds like this nutjob is describing himself.

"Political Science". I love that song.

[lolhelp]

The only reason we are taking flack over Japan is due to the peace loving liberals. We need someone honest enough to stand up and say, too bad, maybe no one else will be foolish enough to mess with us, because they will get the same.

Does any one here really think that America has the stomach for an exchange of even a single nuclear device? Not a chance. Not even if one was detonated on American soil and hundreds of thousands of Americans died.

If the terrorists detonate a WMD in this country, especially a nuclear device, that kills tens of thousands of Americans, as they attempted to kill on 911, or even better, hundreds of thousands of Americans, they win. The world will view it as a poetic justice for Hiroshima and Nagasaki against the Imperialist Americans. They will all say we had it coming.

Americans don't have the stomach to use a nuclear weapon, ever, on anyone, for any reason. Doing so would be political suicide.

Remember, that virtually half of the country voted for a lying, traitorous, opportunist, cowardly and worthless sack of shit.

That worked out so well for al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Good luck with that.

You don’t know America.

"Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord". Were that to happen here, vengeance would merely be a jumping off point for Americans.

Sir, you know not of which you speak.
