Ayatolla Khomeini .... is DEAD!

Given that the current Leader of the Supreme Council (head of the Iranian Theocracy) is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, this could be a case of tomato-tomato! It is a common problem and I would give both the benefit of the doubt.

If you read the short article, Sarah Shourd takes a pretty hard shot at Iran but seems to lament the fact that the U.S. is likely going to end up at war with that sad country, ruled by 'religious' fanatics that long for death and destruction even if it is their death and Iran's destruction.

Shourd is obviously conflicted. She knows now that Iran is a hell-hole and it's leadership is dangerously deluded but her knee-jerk anti-American leanings (she's a graduate of UC Berkeley) push her to find something to complain about regarding the country that helped get her out of an Iranian prison after Shourd and her two male companions stupidly went hiking in Iranian territory and were captured as spies. I submit that this young woman's comments are of little import and will be quickly forgotten.

Sounds magnificent. I think I’ll just hike Northern Arizona though, same attributes, no hassles.

You got it. Lefties are as predictable as clockwork.
