Lepus Rex BS: Osama and Iran (25) RE: BS: Osama and Iran 05 Oct 05


Damn, Wolfgang, I hope that this is all part of an attempt to prove my point that suicide bombings against civilians aren't an Iranian thing. A single blurb in the "Kurdistan Observer," which appears to be a Kurdish nationalist newsletter on someone's personal web site, with Masrour Barzani (Massoud Barzani's kid) talking about an "Iranian" suicide bomber (Ansar al-Sunnah: also likely a Kurd) with promises of televised confessions. Nothing about this elsewhere? And nothing about it for the last month? I mean, Iranian suicide bombers in Iraq? That's HUGE news! And nothing? Hmm.

So, still no real evidence from a reliable source. All you've proven is that Iranian terrorists are almost completely, if not entirely, unknown. Thanks! But, hey, if you're having fun, Google your little heart out, dude. I'd love some more "evidence." Maybe an anecdote in the local gossip column of the Zeke's Holler Gazette, related to the columnist by the cousin of this guy Fred who met this guy from Iraq or Iraq or something like that, who says "Iranians or Iraqis or something is suicide bombers."

Oh, yeah: And no, assassinations of government officials are not generally considered to be terrorist acts. And no, I wouldn't call a Kurdish separatist born within the borders of Iran an "Iranian," necessarily. No more than I'd call a Chechen separatist a "Russian." Again, your desperation to find any Iranian "terrorist" shows the weakness of your position.
