Well, I have been watching in here a bit and there is more than one and from different sides of the fence. One being pro Israel and the other pro Iran. Ya know, how the hell can we expect the people from that region to get along when members in here, ALL living in the U.S., can't even agree half way on matters.
Makes a person wonder if the 2012 theory wouldn't just be the best for good ol' mother earth in the long run.

Kind of like all those folk in the middle east. Isn't it ironic though that religion acts as the main catalyst for all the problems? Maybe if they all sat down at a table, lit up a fatty of some good herb they'd find out that they are all the same.....:twocents:
Have a good one!:s4:

Not sure who is pro Iran. Sure ain't this guy. I am pro US and that's about it. I speak out against policies that do not serve our long term national interests and as such, I speak out against US double standards in international politics. The Iran case is pretty clear, although not nearly as dire or as threatening as some would have us believe.
I'll take your point on religious extremism being a major source of conflict, but you should recognize that the rise of political Islam is a relatively new phenomenon. A strong case can be made that the rise of Islamic fundamentalism is directly tied to the dictatorial governments in the region which we support. That, and the failure to address the Palestinian issue.
Peace.
