Young men: Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.
Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.
Speaker: On the cold nights, when we were feverishly striving for the triumph of the Islamic revolution, we used to say Allah Akbar. In all moments of collective steadfastness we shouted Allah Akbar. Now we repeat the same eternal slogan: Allah Akbar. Is this not your slogan?
Don't you say Allah Akbar?
Young men and crowd: Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.
Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.
Speaker:I'd like to invite the deputy supervisor of the Imam Reza Shrine, my honorable brother, Mr. Alavi, who proudly wears the uniform of the Imam Reza Shrine. I would like to call him to the stage. He will be presented with a container with the first nuclear product of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Mr. Alavi, if you please. Please honor this occasion by reciting prayers to the Prophet and his family.
With the permission of the supervisor of the Imam Reza Shrine... Deputy Supervisor of the Imam Reza Shrine, Mr. Alavi, will now come to the stage and receive a container with UF6, produced in the nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Oh honorable people, and all who witness this occasion, remember that we have no mystery besides Allah Akbar, and we have no secret besides the greatness of God and this conviction. Mr. Alavi, if you please. Honor this occasion by saying Allah Akbar.
Crowd: Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar.
It would seem there is a good deal of religion involved in Iran's quest for nuclear weapons capability. They do keep saying it's for peaceful purposes. But then why are they concentrating on breeder reactors, which can be used to make atomic bombs? They also talk extensively about sharing this technology with other Muslim countries.
According to Jim Baker's Iraq Study Group, these are the folks we need to reach out to, to help us get out of Iraq. But is that really such a good idea? Consider this:

What part of "Death to America" don't we understand? The policies advocated by the Baker group are the failed policies that brought us to 9-11; placating tyrants for short term peace, leaving them to strike at us later. Haven't we had enough of that? Or do we need events worse than 9-11 before we understand what "Death to America" means?
