The politics of attacking America

Two interesting, but unrelated items today.

(AP) A PKK spokesman said the Kurdish independence group "could launch suicide attacks against American interests to punish the U.S. for sharing intelligence with Turkey."

And, Former Iranian moderate President Khatami attacks the Ahmadinejad regime by saying it's going against the Khomeini revolution.

"What did the imam (Khomeini) mean by exporting the revolution?" he asked in the speech Friday to university students in the northern province of Gilan, according to the Kargozaran newspaper.

"Did he mean that we take up arms, that we blow up places in other nations and we create groups to carry out sabotage in other countries? The imam was vehemently against this and was confronting it," he added.

Interesting.
