Because, too many people are running around with "humming in their head", and taking c2 liquid explosives and packing it in the instruments.\n\n They are taking the phrase "Go blow your horn", Literally.\n\n.

He probably considers himself a descendant of Ali since he is the head of a theocratic Islamic state.  As such, what he says goes.  I believe it's a major difference between Shi'i and Sunni Islam, with the Sunni being less apt to allow their political leaders to determine their mode of expressing their faith.  Islam is a religion of orthopraxy and not orthodoxy.  In such religions, one places more weight on what they do everyday than they do in other religions.  Leaders are expected to perscribe what rules of behavior are to be followed by the people of their countries.

Not frustrated, this is to be expected, and absolutely, eventually somebody will have to act, it will not be a united UN.\n\n---\n\nIn response to themayorbynight, this is not complicated situation at all. Sanctions against Iran are not going to impact oil at all, Iran is not a significant oil producing nation. We have a leader with the same rhethoric as Hitler, threatening neighbors and openly resolving to arm his nation to be able to do more than threaten. The answers is very simple, he must be stopped. Its unclear how sanctions will bring this about, so as I see it Iran has a choice, do so now willingly, or be forced to do so. It's pretty black and white.

It is not an holy march you are refering. It was during symbolic stoning of satan event, as part of Hajj pilgrimage.

Because its a politically motivated move to stall the nuclear issue. Take a look at this quote from the iranian president:\n\n"The president said that human rights is a sacred value which should not be abused for propaganda campaign or political objectives. \n\nHe said that Iran seeks dialogue on human rights not only with certain states which are misusing the topic for propaganda purposes, IRNA added. "\n\nIsnt it ironic that the president of iran wants to seek out states that misuse the topic of human rights for political reasons, That is EXACTLY what he is doing...

A series of decrees or ordinances set forth by Charles X of France in July 1830 (and his chief minister Jules Armand du Polignac.)  They did such things as attempt greater controls on the press, deprive three-quarters of French voters of the right to vote, dissolve PArliament, and call for a new election (with the new electorate.)\n\nReaction:  the July Revolution.  Charles X was knocked off the throne (he abdicated and fled); the new system of governemnt was constitutional monarchy rather than the absolute monarchy in place before, and the new, limited, monarch was Louis-Philippe of the House of Orleans.

No. To protect the Shiites from getting annihilated by the Sunnies. It was predicted in the Koran by Prophet himself, as revealed to him.

Agree with answer number 2. His son lives in the USA and is very active in promoting Persia, passive resistance, and supports a democratic revolution in Iran.

The best I can do is give you a website for iranian news and politics.  There may be a link there for the iranian government.

Mahmoud plagiarized Khomeini's message to the Soviets; that "letter" and it's message is decades old.\n\nI pray  the Iranian people  rid themselves of those Islamic Hitlers before the world is forced to take action.

From what I understand most of the documents have been translated, and some are on the internet!\n\nThere was a news story a few days ago that said Iran may off got some of their nuke tech off US gov't websites that released Iraqi documents. The US gov't needs to do a far better job of keeping the sensitive documents secret.
