Iran leader warns of hurricane in Middle East

DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, July 25 (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned on Tuesday that the conflict between Lebanon and Israel could sweep through the entire Middle East like a hurricane.

"If (problems) are decided through the use of force, everything becomes double-complicated," Ahmadinejad told a news briefing in the capital of ex-Soviet Tajikistan.

"He who sows the wind will reap a hurricane and this will be a very strong storm in the whole Middle East region, which will strike painfully," he added.

King Abdullah says war may engulf the Middle East if peace option fails

The king of Saudi Arabia has warned that war could break out in the Middle East if attempts to broker peace in the region fail.

In a statement read out on state television on Tuesday, King Abdullah said, "If the option of peace fails as a result of Israeli arrogance, then the only option remaining will be war, and God alone knows what the region would witness in a conflict that would spare no one."

The king appealed to the world to stop Israeli attacks on Lebanon, and also pledged to donate over $1.5 billion to the country, according to the statement by the royal court.

He said that the Saudi government had been trying to bring a halt to the violence since it began on July 12.

"It must be said that patience can't last forever, and if the brutal Israeli military continues to kill and destroy, no one can foresee what may happen."

Here's the Brother from the Sands, rocking the Cas-Bah, for you...

give it up for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad



My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He’s licking his lips
He’s ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rocked you like a hurricane
Here I am, rocked you like a hurricane
Here I am, rocked you like a hurricane
Here I am, rocked you like a hurricane
Rocked you like a hurricane




He's Not Impressed...

9. He just said what we have all said

The ward could spread, and cause immense devastation. I don't seem how he can be faulted for stating this obvious fact.
