Why? Cause it's self-defense. And if you're defending yourself, you're in the right, go all out.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic in 1979, held that the purpose of the state is to prepare the Islamic world for the reappearance of the 12th imam, the mahdi, who disappeared in 941 CE. During his exile, Khomeini developed his interpretation of the concept of the velayat-e faqih (rule of the jurisprudent). Khomeini’s view holds that a specially selected religious leader must ensure that decisions and policies are consistent with the state’s over-riding purpose of maintaining the umma in a fit condition to hasten the reappearance of the mahdi.

Think, what has Iran ever done to you personally? And when was the last time Iran started a war? ...The 18th Century, under the reign of Nadir Shah (1688-1747).
We are being led to war under the same premise we went into Iraq. Were there any WMD's, the exact premise, found therein? Where did all the mobile anthrax & chemical weapons labs go? Colin Powell had such detailed artist renderings of these mobile labs, remember?
I don't claim to have all the answers, but don't be so quick to buy the hype we're being fed. Think for yourselves.
Peace be with us. Please.edit on 3-1-2012 by susp3kt because: (no reason given)
If we are not able to export our revolution to neighboring Islamic countries, then undoubtedly the culture of these countries, mixed with Western culture, will attack and conquer us.
Thanks to God and after centuries of brave sacrifice of the nation of the 12 imams in Iran, we are now – according to the revered Shia leaders’ guidance – carrying a heavy and dangerous responsibility: that is, the exportation of revolution.
Based on that, we have to admit that our government, besides its mission in keeping the sovereignty of this country and the people’s rights, is an ideological government. We must make the exportation of the revolution one of our top priorities.
