Disturbing

I found 2 reports online today (here and here) referring to the possibility that Iran is taking an active hand in Iraqi affairs by recruiting suicide bombers to go after US/British targets in Iraq and elsewhere.

I don’t know whether the World Tribune is a reliable source, but MEMRI, although they do have a pro-Israel agenda, at least can be trusted to get its translations accurately.

What’s disturbing is not that there are more threats being made to recruit and send out suicide bombers. That’s hardly news. What I do find disturbing is the direct linkage of the threats to the US occupation of Iraq.

When people ask for proof that Bush’s war is in fact not making the world safer for America and Democracy, this is the kind of thing we can point to. But since most of it is not happening in English-language news sources, it’s going overlooked.
