Try not to look too far ahead, but keep your eyes on the future.

There were more troubling reports coming from various corners of Iran’s political landscape last week. Iran’s refusal to allow U.N. inspectors visit military sites suspected of being part of Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and President Khatami’s warning Thursday that Iran might resume uranium enrichment and halt snap inspections of its nuclear sites are certainly alarming.

Equally disturbing, the rubber-stamp parliament in Iran began its seventh session last Thursday with chants of "Death to America" and "Death to the occupiers of Iraq". One new deputy, former Revolutionary Guards member Mehdi Kouchakzadeh, led his colleagues in a chorus of anti-U.S. slogans which he said would "attract attention to the main task of the parliament."

Nonetheless, the most ominous news from Iran last week has to do with the formation of Karbala-bound Battalions tasked with carrying out suicide attacks against the Coalition forces in Iraq.

Iran is launching this requiting campaign under the religious pretext of defending the Muslim holy shrines against the infidels. In reality, this is a part of mullahs’ sinister goal of expanding their Khomeini-style theocracy into Iraq. Iran’s ruling regime has frequently and skillfully used the cloak of religion to legitimize its tyranny and advance its political and diplomatic goals. And this is just another example.
