TEHRAN, Iran --
If the United States were to attack Iran, the country would respond by striking U.S. interests all over the world, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday.
President Bush has ordered American troops to act against Iranians suspected of being involved in the Iraqi insurgency and has deployed a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf area as a warning to Iran. The U.N. Security Council has imposed sanctions because of Iran's refusal to cease uranium enrichment.
"Some people say that the U.S. president is not prone to calculating the consequences of his actions," Khamenei said in remarks broadcast on state television, "but it is possible to bring this kind of person to wisdom.
"U.S. policymakers and analysts know that the Iranian nation would not let an invasion go without a response," Khamenei added.
He's right - Bush does not consider the consequences of his actions. He thinks he is omnipotent. People who are willing to comitt suicide bombings if needed to get us out of their country are not prone to make idle threats. If Bush goes ahead with an attack on Iran, which I believe he will in the not-to-distant future (months) we are so screwed. That's My View of It!
