Iranians Close Ranks Behind Leaders After U.S. Kills Popular General

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In cities across Iran, tens of thousands packed the streets to mourn Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani. Black-clad women and men beat their chests and clutched photos of him. A black flag went up on the golden dome of Imam Reza shrine in the city of Mashhad, one of the holiest sites of Shiite Islam.

Just a few weeks earlier, the streets were filled with protesters angry with their leaders over the flailing economy and the country’s international isolation.

But at least for now, Iran is united — in anger at the United States.

For years, it has been a divided nation led by aged revolutionaries determined to impose their will on a predominantly young population with no memory of the Shah, who was deposed in the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and with a thirst to live in a more normal nation integrated into the world.

Suddenly, with one targeted assassination, the nation rallied behind its leaders.

1. Thirty plus years of

organic internal change towards the outside has been reversed with the Egomaniac ideals of one Mental Midget Staining our White house.

2. Totally agree, but might I add that he didn't do it alone.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. That we are finding out as the night

progress's. Orange Anus the Mental Midget had his puppet master pulling his string.

Those Hotel's and Apartment Complex's he so calls manages in Turkey be best protected.

5. I was just considering that Iran's response might best be geared toward hurting OAtheMM

directly rather than Americans in general. It would send a clear message and would be less likely to attract negative reactions from other countries. What say you?

[Wellstone ruled]

6. The Orange Anus Crime Syndicate is plush

with Soft Targets me thinks. But,the Militants will most likely work to force our Military out of Iraq in a major way. We have so much Infrastructure in Qatar,Kuwait,Israel,and Saudi Arabia. All having Manpower from local Communities. When you depend on MIC for you Food ,shelter,and laundry services,just what can go wrong.

7. Agreed. Whatever the responses, it will all be horrendous.

[Wellstone ruled]

8. When you contract with the Locals

and you do it on the cheap,what can go wrong.

3. one suspects these protests are highly orchestrated nt

9. Wait, wait, wait... So the ayatolahs aren't being overthrown as

we speak? Huh! Who could have seen this coming?
