TEHRAN -- A Pakistani university professor and researcher, Rasoul Bakhsh Raeis, has said that the U.S. policies against Iran were unrealistic, and he criticized Bush's recent comments.

Dr. Mohammad Kamal, a political analyst, mentioned that such comments could put the whole region in serious danger. Also, Salim Hashemi, a spokesman for the Mujjahedin Party, said that it seems that fighting Islam has become one of the main objectives of the Bush administration.

The Sharjah-based daily ***al-Khaleej*** said that the recent policies and stances adopted by the U.S, particularly the recent remarks of the U.S. President Bush, were playing with fire.

The English language, **Pakistan Observer** said in an editorial that while Iran and the U.S. both opposed the Taleban militia, after the U.S. attacked Afghanistan, Washington's negative propaganda against Iran increased.
