2009-01-21 |
Head of Student Basij Organization Reza Seraj said on Tuesday that 100,000 students have signed up to launch martyrdom seeking operations. "Based on latest statistics, 100,000 students have signed up the list in `Labayk Ya Khamenei' Martyrdom Seeking Battalions," Seraj told a group of students outside former US Embassy in Tehran, dubbed as `Den of Spies', on Tuesday. Seraj said students are ready to fully obey the Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's order for contribution to Gaza reconstruction. |

#7 That is a lot of sploadadopes. For efficiency why not invite them to the stadium and just blow them up. Give their families the perfunctory martyrdom certificate. Everyone's happy. This would save the world a lot of trouble. |

#4 Based on what I've read on the underground Iranian student sites and the supposed numbers of young people who believe the regime to be oppressive, this might be a cheap & easy way for a 'dissenting' young person to clandestinely immigrate, too. Once they get to somewhere outside of Persia, they may very well 'forget' what they've been sent to do. Don't know if there would be some Iranian security type standing behind them the whole way with a weapon, however. |

#3 In a more civilized culture, these misguided souls would be "5150"ed, put under 72 hour suicide watch and given some anti-depressants. It is cheaper to just give them some aged C-4 and a blasting cap. It is also cheaper than a fighter jet with a bomb or a rocket. |
