I've been warning this was about to happen... JEZZUS! Yup, your "fearless" leader is gonna do the unthinkable. Unleash the dogs of war and bring on Armageddon (please, this waiting is killing me!) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=C3HY5I431EHHRQFIQMGSFFWAVCBQWIV0?xml=/news/2006/04/09/wbush09.xml&sSheet=/portal/2006/04/09/ixportaltop.html
I suppose when you're so far down in the polls ya gotta do something to save your "legacy". Bush has in fact stated that by nuking Iran, he'd be "saving the Iranian people". Yeah fucking right! A massive bombing campaign against a country we are not currently at war with really IMPROVES everyone's lives. Look at how much we've improved the lives of Iraqis.
Well I guess nobody thinks this is important enuf to comment on. Perhaps we can just ignore Bush's antics and they'll just go away. NOT! Guess it don't matter that Iran already has nukes and mulitple warhead missiles. Guess it don't matter that attacking Iran will widen the war in the Mideast Guess it don't matter that a lot of you will soon be drafted to fight that war. Guess it don't matter that some of you might be dead in a few months. OK. Fine. So be it. Enjoy your Random Thoughts posts. While you can.
yeah its obvious that america is going to do this sooner or later, the iranians know it too - as they say let the ball roll. at anyrate its out the hands of the american voter now.
Umm...anyone else think this is rather hypocrittical of Bush..he almost seems more like Hitler than this other guy... This bothers me...
No if we nuke them, they will nuke us back and....I live a hour away from Washington, am i dead or just radio active?
The real question is. Do we allow Iran to get nuclear weapons? Yes or no? Iran has shown that they are just buying time with 'diplomacy.' Wait, what they are doing cant be called diplomacy...
Are you aware that Bush & Cheney recently got tactical nuke bunker busters to be declared conventional weapons, which cleared any legal hurdles they would have for using them for a first strike. So now parts of the US nuclear arsenal are OK to use anytime. And if we can, then that excuses any other country's use of them. Why does that not make me feel safer? I thought our safety was Bush's main priority. The man is blind to the consequences of his actions.
didnt the military test a new like 700 ton conventional bomb in the nevada desert,, designed to bunker bust like a tactical nuke without the fall out?
so b y the events going on and the writings of nostradamus, who do u think is the third anti christ now?
Megara, Acutally the real question is "How do we live," and this, in part, translates into "How do we solve problems." Do we act in crimminal and unethical ways, do we think in an internally/externally destructive manner ? I liken this situtation to an incompetent Doctor who is in a position to care for a Patient who has a toe infection; the Doctor could disinfect the toe and solve the problem but because of grave errors in his judgement he amputates the leg instead. When the Doctor is asked about this discrepancy he goes into a prerehearsed rendering of his denial and says, "Look you fools, what are you talking about, I saved the Patient." Peace and Clarity of Mind, David .
are you saying the US hasnt tried to act diplomatically(disinfect the toe) towards Iran? Has Iran not been the openly belligerent one towards Israel and the US? Has Iran not openly defied the world with their nuclear program? Has the US not shown restraint and a willingness to work this out diplomatically? When one side shuns diplomacy...it makes it pointless.
Actually, iran is a singatore of the Non-Proliferation treaty, and is entitled to a civilian nuclear program. They are acting sketchy, however, and i do believe that they are seeking nuclear arms. I t'ink this has something to do with bush's policy of preemptive strikes against countries seeking arms (Iraq), and a policy of containment for those who already have them (N. Korea)... Nobody in that part of the world likes Israel, and though i believe that the jews have a right to a homeland, they have acted abhorently in the past (please don't list examples of how Israel has been attacked in worse fashions, merely saying that your enemy is barbarous doesn't excuse your own actions)...
