I guess they are balking on our "free delivery" option for nukes.
“The nuclear row should be resolved through direct talks with America to avoid a war. Talks about a possible military action should be taken seriously,” Montazeri told pro-reform students on Friday in remarks faxed to Reuters on Tuesday.

Too late, PUNK!
Payback is a b*tch.
Translation: We’re scared shiite-less and don’t want to die...

I consider it to be a good sign that an opposition has surfaced. How long lived this will be, is anyone’s guess.
He’s only proposing this to fool the international community into thinking Iran will cooperate in diplomacy, which will sway public opinion against bombing them. It’s all an act to try and avoid being bombed. And then after they go through the motions and have the talks, which aren’t sincere, they’ll go back to their nuke-building and Jew-hating and everything else. Nice try, Ayatollah al-whatever his name was, but we can see right through you. Bring on the MOABs!
P.S. Who is this Ali Montazeri guy? I thought Khamenei was the supreme leader.
And a little off topic, but the word “ayatollah” sounds like an Italian trying to say “I toll.”
If we don’t have smart bullets yet, we’ll have to use smart bombs or cruise missiles. It would be so much easier if we had smart bullets to eliminate every self imposed dictator murderer in the world.
When the Supreme Guide comes forward and publically states to the world that they will immediately cease their nuclear programme and wish a sit down with our Dept. of State then I will feel like we may get somewhere with diplomacy. That won’t happen so they will get bombs.
This guy seems to have some genuine disagreement with the regime on making Iran better but he carries no real weight of power beside being a symbolic figurehead. Perhaps he is pining for power in the ‘life beyond the mullahs’ but we cannot trust such a guy considering his involvement in the 1979 hostage crisis. No more political rewards for Islamists whom have American blood on their hands!!!
They’re nervous, figuring Bush will wrap them up with the end of his administration...not a bad thing,
The fact that Israel went into Syria undetected has them scared. They have the same useless radar system.

“MOHAMMAD ALI ABTAHI, Former Vice President: [through interpreter] The very least expectation we had, at the height of our struggles for real reform, was not to be branded like this. Politically, it was an odd thing to do. We helped overthrow the Taliban. Instead of opening a path for even greater cooperation, they turned to this slogan, the “axis of evil.” That was Mr. Bush’s biggest strategic and political blunder.”

According to a recent “Frontline”, the US had help from moderates in Iran in kicking out the Taliban from Afghanistan, and then made the blunder of immediately naming Iran as part of the “Axis of Evil”. This discredited the moderates in Iran and strengthened the hardliners.
