Even if that happened, it wouldn't do much for us. Dickhead Cheney would just be the president instead, and he's no better. While it would be really sweet to watch Bush receive a proper punishment for his crimes, it wouldn't really change anything in the world if that happened and Cheney or some other neocon filled his shoes. Hell, it wouldn't even make much of a difference if the most liberal Democrat were in the White House. What we really need to do is smash the whole fucking establishment, from the president on down to the weed-hating pigs. Too bad our educational system and media are geared to make people ignorant of how they're being fucked over by the system every day.Quote:

The result would be that people would conveniently forget about all the evil crap that Bush did and would rally around a counteroffensive against whichever group or groups received the blame. On the other hand, if we educate enough people we might actually have a chance of creating an actual revolution capable of overthrowing the American government and changing our lives for the better.
Just rememebr the UK has gots ya back! War is inevitable. Why not just send Iran a truck full of bird flu infected birds. Launch an aerial assault of disease! Ha ha!Quote:

Why not? There are several reasons why that is the most horrible idea I've heard in a long time. First, it would kill off mostly innocent people who haven't done anything wrong. Secondly, most of the dead would consist of people too poor to afford proper medical care, while the rich people (i.e. the people in power) will easily find ways to quarantine themselves from an epidemic and probably would not be too affected by it. Thirdly, since diseases don't know where our borders are, if we were successful in creating a bird flu epidemic in Iran, it would quickly spread to Iraq and Afghanistan, and then to any place that the soldiers there might want to go (like, say, the United Kingdom). And finally, using such methods of biological terrorism on the citizenry of Iran would cause a backlash from just about anybody who is against biological terrorism (i.e. pretty much everybody in the world). I can't see how the people responsible would not be convicted of genocide and deposed from power.Quote:

There is no war in Iraq. There's an insurgency, and yeah, if we're there another 25 years blowing them away, we might lose as many people as we did in the last real war (the Vietnam War). Wars are fought between armies. The insurgents have no army, just some poorly equipped, poorly organized gangs.
If we fight Iran, THAT could turn into a war. They are far better equipped than any insurgency, and while we would certainly win, it would not be nearly as easy as wiping out Saddam's army was. It would be easier than winning a war with North Korea though (and if we went to war with North Korea, we'd win there too, eventually). Going to war with Iran wouldn't be as rough as people might lead you to believe though, because we've got nearly 200,000 soldiers right next door doing little except playing as uniformed cops. We'd have air superiority within a day, and air supremacy within a week if we decided to tackle Iran militarily. And once you have air supremacy, everything gets a whole lot easier. Then it's just a matter of bombing targets until the enemy capitulates or there is no more enemy, whichever they choose. And then the aftermath: fighting another insurgency, assuming they capitulate before everyone is dead.
This dude at Barnes and Noble told me in january that there was gonna be a draft started in March, I asked him what for? and he said the invasion of Iran.Quote:

If the world doesn't take care of the Iran problem,Israel may be forced to do such,and it won't be pretty,especially if Israel is forced to nuke every arab country in the region,including Saudia Arabia and Egypt,the arab world,especially the muslims,will never relinquish their dream and goal,of wiping Israel off the map and murdering every Jew and infidel,wherever they are to be found. Only nuclear deterrence,stands in their way..and soon-that may no longer work,if they all decide to become martyrs to bring about Darfur..an Islamic world-state.
Have a good one ...
All the U.N. is asking for is the dismantalling of the nuclear sites. A few bunker busters with a couple of tomahawk missles and its a job well done. No troops will be needed to step into Iran.
I'm sure we'll have to use a few M.O.B.s just for good measure!:thumbsup:

Supposed grants at the time for war efforts have misteriously turned into loans after the fact.
