Invade Iran - Commit Suicide?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,88535,00.html

TEHRAN, Iran — Anyone who invades Iran would be committing suicide, Iran's supreme leader said Wednesday, following the G-8 summit's warning that the world would not tolerate an Iranian nuclear bomb.

U.S. officials have accused Iran of harboring senior Al Qaeda figures and strongly suspect it is secretly pursuing a nuclear weapons program, raising fears in Iran of punitive measures.

"U.S. threats are not new," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told tens of thousands of people who had assembled for the 14th anniversary of the death of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founding father of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Iran says its nuclear development is solely to produce electricity and that its uranium enrichment is to provide fuel for reactors, not bombs.

Leaders of the world's eight industrialized nations ended a meeting in Evian, France, on Monday with a statement that said: "We will not ignore the proliferation implications of Iran's advanced nuclear program."

The statement said the world could work to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons with tools such as inspections and "other measures ... in accordance with international law."

"Anyone who invades Iran would be committing suicide"

Does anyone remember someone named Saddam promising the "Mother of all Wars"?
