"Thank" you, DemonRATS.

I hope they're happy when Islamokazi mushroom clouds appear over Tel Aviv, Jerusalem (the only Islamokazi claim on that city is one of envy of both Judiaism and Christianity), New York City, and Washington DC.

Ahmadinejad is cutting trade with EU countries, and therefore we find this response from the EU:

EU warns Iran against boycott of Danish goods
07/02/2006 - 12:03:21

The EU’s executive office today warned Iran that attempts to boycott Danish goods or cancel trade contracts with European countries would lead to a further rupture in already cool relations.

The EU was trying to confirm comments made by Iran’s president that the country should boycott Danish products in protest of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed, said EU spokesman Johannes Laitenberger.

“A boycott of Danish goods is by definition a boycott of European goods,” Laitenberger said.

“A boycott hurts the economic interests of all parties, also those who are boycotting and can damage the growing trade links between the EU and the countries concerned.”

Israel said it would attack Iran before it had this capability.

Time is running out fast.

Remember there have been numerous intelligence reports that Iran is about to test its first nuclear weapon next month.
