THE German chancellor, Angela Merkel, compared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran to Adolf Hitler yesterday as Tehran vowed to resume the enrichment of uranium which could be used to make nuclear weapons.
Amid growing fears that the Iranians are intent on acquiring an “Islamic bomb”, Merkel warned that the world must not repeat the mistakes it made in appeasing the Nazis.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- British troops launched a
crackdown Tuesday on Basra's troubled police, arresting several
officers in a force long believed infiltrated by extremist Shiite
militiamen with ties to neighboring Iran.
Curbing militia power is considered crucial to building trust among
Iraq's rival communities and establishing government authority, but
finding a way to do it has proven elusive.

 Saeed Emami (a.k.a. Saeed Eslami or Shamshiri) was born in
Shiraz, central Iran, as Daniyal Ghavami in an Iranian Jewish family.
He spent several years in the United States pursuing his studies in
Mechanical Engineering. After completing his higher education, he
worked at the Iranian Interests Section in the Pakistan Embassy in
Washington, D.C. for one year and at Iran's mission to the United
Nations for another year. At that time he was recruited by Iranian
intelligence and after his return to Iran he went directly to the
Ministry of Intelligence.
When Mohammad Mohammadi Reyshahri was serving as the Minister of
Intelligence, Saeed Hajjarian, the Director General of the Intelligence
Ministry voiced opposition to the appointment of Saeed Emami to key
posts at the ministry because of his family records.

Of all the confusions surrounding the war in Iraq, perhaps none has
clouded so many minds as the phony question, "are we fighting domestic
insurgents or foreign terrorists?" The people who purport to answer
this question with "data," should look again at the demographics of
Iraq, Syria, and Iran, and they can start by asking themselves, "who's
an Iraqi"?

 Iran Focus – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told
a crowd of theological students in the holy city of Qom on Thursday
that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon “has joined his ancestors and
others will soon follow suit”, according to the state-run Mehr news
agency.
“The Butcher of Sabra and Shatila has joined his ancestors and others
will soon follow suit”, Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. The same
report appeared on the website Khedmat, which is run by members of the
Iranian president’s entourage.
Ahmadinejad’s announcement of the death of the Israeli Prime Minister
comes at a time when Sharon was reportedly fighting for his life on
Thursday after a massive brain stroke.
