interesting part:

Upon arrival in Tehran, al-Jaafari visited the mausoleum of the Founder of the Islamic Republic, the late Imam Khomeini and paid tribute to him by laying a wreath on his tomb.

And people still don't think a theocracy is on the way in Iraq?

Obviously, laying a wreath on someone's tomb is always a very clear indicator that a theocracy is on its way.

When you take into account who that person is, it shows the inclinations of the person laying the wreath.

It's paranoid to be wary of the fact that such a leader admires Khomeini?

Khomenini is dead now. He wouldn't have gone over to Iran to praise him or whatever if he was still alive.
Diplomatic "niceities" I think it's called...

Yes, BRTD has a problem understanding that. He makes a big stink about Bush kissing King Fahd but in Arab culture that is a customary greeting.

Jaafari's spent the 1980s there in revolutionary Iran, as an exile leader subsidized and supported by Iran's mullahs, he symbolizes the future of the region, which we have delivered into the hands of the Shi'ite theocracy.

Khomeini's heirs are the real victors in this war, and Jaafari's visit was a formal acknowledgement of the new strategic reality – a disaster of our own making.

The biggest winner of Iraq's elections, the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), was personally created by Khomeini when he demanded that the Iraqi Shi'ite exiles unite in a single organization. Jaafari's party, Da'wa, is a nominally independent offshoot of the SCIRI.

As Jaafari laid a wreath of flowers at the old tyrant's grave, the Tehran Times reported,

"He called the late Imam Khomeini the key to the victory of the Islamic Revolution, adding, 'We hope to eliminate the dark pages Saddam caused in Iran-Iraq ties and open a new chapter in brotherly ties between the two nations.'"

It's pretty funny really - you'd think someone who regularly cruises political a message board would have some understanding of politics.

Bush kissed Abdullah, not Fahd, and the issue is not that how he greeted him, but rather that he invited that terrorist to his ranch at all.

Well if we assume that 1% of 20somethings are communist, a realistic number considering how many Che and CCCP shirts I see, that means I have probably at least seen one communist stripper before, although I did not know she was a commie at the time obviously.

Iraq and Iran are far closer than before. Remind me why we invaded "axis-of-evil" Iraq again?

Oh, and Iran really has WMD, but our troops are all tied up in Iraq, and we have no moral authority left. ing idiots.
