Another War in the Works

They are anti-war unless a Democrat is sitting in the Executive Office.
Have you heard of any anti-war rallies lately? Any big ones planned? They are not to be found.
I do mean that some on the far left WANTS the US to hit Iran because they would get off on the furor it causes. The conflict, the casualties, the outpouring of emotions a new war would cause...they roll in ecstasy in that. I guess Iraq and Afghanistan isn't doing "it" for them.

Here is a BBC translation of the same paragraph plus the following one:
I suggest people follow the link above and read the entire speech themselves. I'm not saying you should agree with Rafsanjani's statements. On the contrary, I suggest you develop your own opinion based on what Rafsanjani actually said.
When I read the entire speech and consider context, I interpret the paragraph as a hypothetical statement about a possible future scenario and their impact.
Here is how I would interpret Rafsanjani's statements:
When I compare my understanding of that paragraph in context with Iran Press Service's (IPS) interpretation: "MUSLIMS SHOULD USE NUCLEAR WEAPON AGAINST ISRAEL", I conclude IPS is deliberately misinterpreting Rafsanjani's statement.
Upon further investigation of IPS, I found that they specialize in finding the most provocative statements made by Iranian leaders and twisting them for anti-Iran propaganda purposes. Not surprisingly the Iranian Press Service is run by Iranian dissidents and exiles who seek to destabilize and overthrow the Iranian government.
I suppose I could deconstruct every one of Goober's references, but what would be the point?
You want nuts, this is nuts. (Good Nuts)

EAO- You may be correct - I will do more checking - also another post regarding the IAEA - No reply as of yet. I realize you are busy - PS - Npote that interpretation of Arabic and Persian can be quite difficult and also why would he stoke the flames of hate? -
Iran needs American domination and the people want freedom from the strong arm of the corrupt government
I agree with your first points that Israel can't be nuked.
Also you could very well be correct that this is just a "fear" game to push up the price of oil. The trouble with games like these is that someone might accidentally pull the trigger like the two Canadian soldiers playing quick draw in a tent in Afghanistan. Then its not a game anymore.
Great to see a conservative like Paul Craig Roberts tell the truth about the lies used to manipulate people into supporting foreign wars.
Iran's government was democratically elected. They don't want or need anyone else's advice on how to run their government.
Are you trying to take away the hate mongers purpose in life? If they stop hating Iranians because of facts, they might start looking for someone else to hate - like Canada.8O
HAHAHAHAHAHAsnarfleHEEHEEHEEgiggleHAHAHAHAgasp!HARHARHAR
Stop it! You're killing me!
You ARE joking, aren't you?
Yep. The Iranian gov't is democratically elected......If you consider "democratically" having every candidate vetted by a nutcase cleric, and if you call "democratically" having the ballot boxes stuffed in favour of the incumbent......
OMG! Aren't you one of the guys that claimed BUSH was a usurper????????
I guess consistency is simply too much to wish for.
''some on the far left WANTS the US to hit Iran because they would get off on the furor it causes. ''
Examples, please.

It worked for Karzai and you of the far right did not object when that happened, right?
As for Bush, that was OK, too wasn't it.
How about you showing some consistency of your own?

''anti-war''
I guarantee that there is one way to keep all right wingers vehemently anti-war: just impose a 100% excess profits tax on ALL war profits. Once that's done, you will never again see them clamoring for war.
Guaranteed!
