Iran: Patriot missiles in Turkey threaten world war

[dead0man]

link[quote]Iran's army chief of staff warned NATO on Saturday that stationing Patriot anti-missile batteries on Turkey's border with Syria was setting the stage for world war.

General Hassan Firouzabadi, whose country has been a staunch supporter of President Bashar Assad throughout the 21-month uprising against his rule, called on the Western military alliance to reverse its decision to deploy the defense system.

"Each one of these Patriots is a black mark on the world map, and is meant to cause a world war," Firouzabadi said, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency. "They are making plans for a world war and this is very dangerous for the future of humanity and for the future of Europe itself."

Despite the warning, Firouzabadi did not threaten any action against Turkey in his speech to senior commanders at the National Defense University in Tehran. "We are Turkey's friend and we want security for Turkey," he said.

It's no more dramatic than when our government cries about phantom terrorists who will blow up the world if we don't obliterate the Bill of Rights and instigate wars against nations who've done nothing to us.
