Iran’s Plan for War Against The World of Arrogance

We are divided. Some of us think that the mullahs of Iran aren’t totally serious when they say they want to wipe Israel and the US off the map. Some of us think otherwise. Some of us believe that the threat from Tehran is real and we should not waste time waiting for them to be armed, rather we should take decisive military action against the Iranians before it is too late. I myself have contended that the mullahs are merely issuing propaganda for their own personal sake and that violence against the West will never amount to more than what we’ve already experienced, surely nothing nuclear.

However, the rhetoric coming out of Iran sometimes becomes so over the top and ridiculous, the doubters have to wonder if maybe, just maybe, these people actually believe the garbage they are spewing. I was alerted to an article on Regime Change Iran that at best is quite disturbing. I’ve read it a few times now and while I stand by belief that these people are not going to seriously provoke a nuclear war with Israel and the West, these pictures do need serious consideration.

The following photos feature recently elected Iranian hardliner, President Ahmadinejad speaking at the "World Without Zionism" conference, which is also where he spoke of wiping "Israel off the map."

This is the banner on the podium where the message we’re are supposed to glean is that time is running down on the global conflict between the Islamic world and, as President Ahmadinejad calls us, the World of Arrogance. A further look at the graphic shows that in these people’s minds America has already been beaten and that Israel is on its way to be pushed into the sea.

I can only assume that they believe America is beaten first because of 9/11, second because of the ongoing insurgency in Iraq and thirdly because Iran has successfully managed to garner the strategic help of Russia and China. I can only assume that in the minds of these people we are beaten because it appears we do have the will to fight against them the way they wish to fight against us; by committing total destruction and genocide.

This picture shows President Ahmadinejad referring directly to the graphic and more than likely he is saying something like this:

”We are in the process of an historical war between the World of Arrogance [i.e. the West] and the Islamic world, and this war has been going on for hundreds of years.”

“The issue of this [World without Zionism] conference is very valuable. In this very grave war, many people are trying to scatter grains of desperation and hopelessness regarding the struggle between the Islamic world and the front of the infidels, and in their hearts they want to empty the Islamic world.”

"... They [ask]: 'Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?' But you had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and surely can be achieved…

"When the dear Imam [Khomeini] said that [the Shah's] regime must go, and that we demand a world without dependent governments, many people who claimed to have political and other knowledge [asked], 'Is it possible [that the Shah’s regime can be toppled]?’

"That day, when Imam [Khomeini] began his movement, all the powers supported [the Shah's] corrupt regime… and said it was not possible. However, our nation stood firm, and by now we have, for 27 years, been living without a government dependent on America. Imam [Khomeni] said: 'The rule of the East [U.S.S.R.] and of the West [U.S.] should be ended.' But the weak people who saw only the tiny world near them did not believe it.”

This alone doesn’t bother me. In America alone there are hundreds if not thousands of conferences and meetings between any number of groups going on all the time. In America, there are all kinds of meetings being held where vile words are spoken about many groups of people including the Black Panthers, the Klu Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, the 12 Tribes of Israel and the Democratic National Committee. :::insert rim shot here::::

Like I said, nonsense-speak doesn’t bother me. The fact that Muslims gather to talk about how they want to kill Israeli’s doesn’t excite me, not even if one of the speakers is the Iranian President. As I’ve said before, one can only assume that this sort of thing serves the purpose of rallying support behind a regime that under normal circumstances should have been revolted against years ago.

The reason I’m somewhat disturbed and maybe even a little worried is what I was reading here. According to an opinion article in the Richmond Times Dispatch, last may, Hassan Abbassi, head of the Center for Security Doctrines Research of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (RGC) and leading adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stated rather emphatically that, ” We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization and for the uprooting of the Americans and the English. The global infidel front is a front against Allah and the Muslims, and we must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them.”

Mind you, this is the man some in the Middle East call "The Kissinger of Islam", after Henry Kissinger. If you don’t know what kind of policies Kissinger advocated for during the Nixon administration with regards to South East Asia, I suggest you go look at it up and then come back.

According to Abbasi , the global balance of power is in a state of flux and every nation should fight for a place in a future equilibrium. The Western powers, especially the United States, still wield immense military and economic power that "looks formidable on paper." But they are unable to use that power because their populations have become "risk-averse."

"The Western man today has no stomach for a fight," Abbasi says. "This phenomenon is not new: All empires produce this type of man, the self-centered, materialist, and risk-averse man."

Abbasi believes that the US intervention in Iraq, which involved "slightly higher risks" than the invasion of Afghanistan, was the very last of its kind. And even then, the US went into Iraq because of President George W Bush's "readiness to do what no other American leader would dare contemplate."

So now we are back to the original question of just how crazy are these Iranians? It’s not out of the ordinary to have a plan to attack your adversaries. Hell, we have a plan to attack Canada should we run out of strategic reserves of maple syrup and hockey players. That’s not the point. Having lots of contingency war plans is a good idea. Actually utilizing your war plans to commit genocide because you’re a zealous nut is a bad idea. As I consider the above information it is hard to figure out where the propaganda ends and the insanity begins. Just how serious is Iran’s commitment to fighting the World of Arrogance? Just how serious are we in defending our World of Arrogance from Islamic fundamentalists?

I don’t know and that’s the scariest part of all.
