Europe has trouble understanding the connection between Iran and Hizbollah. Argentina has no such trouble:Argentine prosecutors asked a federal judge on Wednesday to order the arrest of former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani and seven others for the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center that killed scores of people. The decision to attack the center ''was undertaken in 1993 by the highest authorities of the then-government of Iran,'' prosecutor Alberto Nisman said at a news conference. He said the actual attack was entrusted to the Lebanon-based group Hezbollah.The United States ought to pursue similar prosecutions against Iranian officials. We should start with Ahmadinejad. You want to tell me that isn't Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (circa 1979) leading an American embassy official away from the American Embassy? Look closely:
The worst terrorist attack ever on Argentine soil, the bombing of the Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires killed 85 people and injured more than 200 when an explosive-laden vehicle detonated near the building.
Prosecutors urged the judge to seek international and national arrest orders for Rafsanjani, who was Iran's president between 1989 and 1997. They also were asking the judge to detain several other former Iranian officials, including a former intelligence chief, Ali Fallahijan, and former Foreign Minister Ali Ar Velayati. They also said they were urging the judge to order the arrest of two former commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, two former Iranian diplomats and a former Hezbollah security chief for external affairs.

Its just plain outrageous...but if Jimmy Carter had the balls of Margaret Thatcher the world would be entirely different today.
