| Fritz terms US threats against Iran "unacceptable" |
| 2003-04-13 |
| A deputy of the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD) Saturday called the latest American threats against Iran "unacceptable". Really, Fritz? "It's important to make clear that this is in no way acceptable despite all criticism against Syria and Iran," Markus Meckel told IRNA. "We cannot solve a criticism of a regime by force," the deputy added. Worked against Sammy, didn't it? A member of the foreign affairs committee, Meckel stressed that he took the ongoing American provocations against Iran "very serious". The MP's remarks come after US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell issued strong warnings to Iran and Syria. German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder on Thursday warned the United States against starting new wars in the Middle East region, reacting to Washington's anti-Iran tirade. "I am warning of repetitions. I see no reason for speculation on grounds for a new war," Schroeder was quoted as saying on German television. Except for the Syrian gunnies shooting at our troops in Iraq, and the bands of thugs threatening to throw holy men out of Najaf, right? And SAIRI making faces and Iran saying "they're not with us"... |
