With talk like this going around, don’t let it surprise you when George W. Bush drops a fucking “nucular” warhead on Iran’s collective face.

From the article:

“If the U.S. ventured into any aggression on Iran, Iran will retaliate by damaging U.S. interests worldwide twice as much as the U.S. may inflict on Iran,” [Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei said in a speech to a workers’ assembly, according to the official news agency IRNA.

But what really worries me is that

[t]he recent statements are “a war of words,” said Gary G. Sick, a professor of Middle East policy at Columbia University and longtime monitor of Iranian politics. “Neither side has anything to gain by an attack on the other, but there is a chance of an accident triggering something and that’s what makes the situation so dangerous.”

Just like the bad old Cold War days… only this time, it’s not the U.S.S.R. – it’s Iran, who’s back is got by none other than Russia.

Nice one, Iran. Talking shit to a loose cannon is like playing baseball with a grenade: nobody is going to win, and many spectators are going to be hurt very badly.
