After Much Thought, Iran Decides to Keep "Death to America" as its National Slogan

It really came down to two possible slogans -- "Death to America" or "Iran is for Lovers".

A top cleric vowed on Friday that Iranians will continue opposition to the US for as long as the United States maintains its arrogant stance towards the Islamic Republic.

"Statesmen in the United States should know that as long as they keep their arrogant attitude towards Iran the slogan of our people will remain the same and will not change," Seyed Ahmad Khatami said in a Friday prayer sermon in Tehran.

"Our people's slogan of hatred, which is death to America, will continue to be heard," added Khatami, a member of Iran's Assembly of Experts that selects and supervises the supreme leader's activities.

Well, if they're looking for a less arrogant America with Obama, I'm afraid they're going to be disappointed.
