Rafsanjani to Bush: Iran not 'axis of evil'
2006-11-18
Former President Hashemi Rafsanjani on Friday urged the United States to exclude the Islamic country from its so-called "axis of evil" and warned Washington not to treat Iran the same way it has Iraq and Afghanistan.

US President George W. "Bush made a strategic mistake. He should exclude Iran from the circle (axis of evil) that he has made," Rafsanjani told the crowd in Teheran during Friday's prayer ceremony. Rafsanjani also warned the US not to consider military intervention in Iran, saying Washington's "iron fist policy" has failed. "It will be dangerous if the US thinks that it can behave toward Iran in the same way that it has treated Afghanistan and Iraq," he said.

#6  This cretin is absolutely right. We'd be idiots to put any boots on the ground like in Afghanistan or Iraq. This time, all we should do is bust up the place into flinders like an Irish donnybrook

I vote for biologicals to cause crop failure in their staple crops, Zen.

#1  OK, he's technically right, you need for an axis at least two and he did not mention Syria.

It's a pivot of evil.
