To be blunt, I wish Iran would arm themselves with Nuclear weapons. It would be suicide to invade a country with such weapons.
Bush is a freedoms bastard child and needs to be stopped.

Credible hyperbole. I think he really only cares about himself and pretends to care for others. The mounting casualties do nothing against his will. He wants more war. The man, to me, is a sicko.

Iran will never have the ability to create a Nuclear Weapon. Never going to happen.

Then, I hope you do not support Bush's invasion knowing this detail.

There won't be an invasion. Just the attack on the military and nuclear infrastructure...which is WHY Iran will never create a nuclear weapon.

I wholeheartedly support the destruction of their facilities and their weaponry.

If Iran had nukes and used them on Israel, Israel and the US would reply in kind.

Is that what you really want to happen Skippy?

Well, then you and Matt Larson can initiate the club of "Misunderstood Neo-Cons".

Iran is evil, we must kill it! - We must destroy it! - If not, Iran will nuke us. - Their rockets will be able to reach London in 45 minutes, and Washington in 2 hours! We must protect our families from these bad muslim terrorists.

This seems to be the language you understand.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Joseph Goebbels, German Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945

"What good fortune for governments that the people do not think."
Adolf Hitler


"Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all."
John Maynard Keynes

You aren't likely to get much respect around this forum if you go around accusing me of being a neocon. People will likely question your sanity.

Yes. Iran needs to DO SOMETHING to warrant an invasion.
No to preemption.
Look what pre-emption did to Iraq. Do you want similar strategies applied by Mexico or China against America?
Only America and its allies are allowed to pre-empt?

Do away with preemption ALL TOGETHER unless you want a world war which is the direction this is going thanks to that nutcase in office.

There is a growing group of posters you have mistakenly believed to have insulted you. This includes both of us. You see ... It's a figure of speech.

Might I suggest you begin using the "Report Post" button when you believe you've been insulted instead of boring us with your complaints over imagined insults to your dignity and threats of retaliation. The mod staff is very responsive and handle violations of the rules relating to poster etiquette swiftly.

Mon chér, the incapability of conversation is of course in the moderators hand.

Rationalization and evasive tactics are the only rethoric tools you have so far demonstrated.

Doesn´t the following quote remind you of something?

Iran should definitely acquire them from Russia or from France. I do hope they get them. I want Bush to pay the price for his mistakes.

So, as I am not one not one to dole out idle threats, here are a few examples of the innane nature of your style just in the last week:

Armenian Genocide Resolution (merged)

Tutu 'uninvited' from Minneapolis speech date

Report: War on terror fueling al Qaeda

And, let’s not forget an example of your often-used application of Godwin’s Law:

Gonzales/White House Repeatedly Approved Torture

Fear not MyLai. This post is not an attempt to convince you of anything as that would be an effort in futility. The purpose is for those "lurkers" of whom many speak.

I am an American. ...a tradition

Yes - it reinforces my opinion that talking to you is a waste of my time and effort. Thanks for the reminder.
