| Kuwaiti MPs, citizens lash out at threatening' Iranian statements |
| 2005-07-07 |
| Iranian Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hameed Rida Asifi's statements and threats are like a spark which has led to a blaze of counter statements from various Gulf officials, reports Al-Anba daily. Asifi was quoted as saying the Republic of Iran has greater abilities than all the Gulf countries and so these countries should be careful in maintaining relations with Iran warning a conflict of any country with Iran will see Iran as the victor. Kuwaiti Members of Parliament (MP) and citizens expressed anger at the Iranian statements saying they are a violation of regulations controlling relations of countries in the same region. Iran is trying to repeat history in a region where conditions have changed, they added. MPs have asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to question the Iranian Ambassador to Kuwait on the threats issued by Iran and what they mean. The Iranian threat of return of the 'Shahishahi' way bodes ill, say MPs and politicians in Kuwait. |

| #4 Cap't A: Remember that the reason the US gave support to Sodamn Insane for a while was that Baathist Iraq was SANEST regional counterbalance to the Mad Mullahs of Iran. I suspect there is similar reasoning for not bringing the hammer down on Assad right now, and for trying to incorporate the Sunnis into the Iraq government (and keeping the Shia from taking wholesale revenge.) |

| #3 There goes the neighborhood. Just when Saddam is taken down as the bully, up pops the nutty moolahs. And, least we forget, Kawait is our biggest ally there. |

| #2 Everyone in the region is secretly rooting for the US to take the MM's down and out before they have a deliverable nuke. Iran with the bomb is obviously unacceptably dangerous to anyone with a brain, but just imagine how much more insufferable the MM's would be -- especially to the Sunnis of the region, lol! If the Israelis, for whatever confluence of reasons, took the lead and did the deed - just imagine the ramifications... Oh, the irony! The chagrin among the Sunnis would be astounding, lol, though it wouldn't stop them from condemning Israel, of course. They are Arabs, after all, lol! This is one of those fascinating "convergence of interest" thingys that history sometimes serves up. I recommend a nice cilantro mint chutney on the side. |
