Confrontation with Iran

[Pangea]

Are we citizens underestimating the possible fallouts from the coming showdown with Iran and its nuclear program. The 6 "powers" are inceasing sactions on Iran by freezing the counties finances, closing all boards to any weapons trade, even freezing all finances of key individuals within the Iranian Gov. I think if any country, not need be a superpower, decides to stand with Iran and rally for support of Irans nuclear program...all hell will break loose.
China side with Iran?...well, no. China is too economically dependent on us for the time being. What do you think of the situation?

I stopped caring once I realized bush has a plan, and is going to stick to it regardless of what congress and the American people want..not an absolute fucking thing we can do. I could care less. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST...I'm 17, and I don't want to be drafted by my 18th birthday. Bush got what he wanted; absolute fucking chaos. And now, my generation is going to pay for what he's fucked. Fuck him. This is bullshit, and I'm sick and fucking tired of it. We should have left the instant they had a government. Instead we've created a civil war that young American men are right in the middle of...thousands of miles away from their families, children...It's stupid. They should be here, not in Iraq.

They call for the destruction of Israel.....recruit a Basij suicide army that is 17% of their total population, they support Hezbollah and Chechen rebels, and now they want nuclear technology. We got one of two choices.....either take out the problem areas (nuclear facilities) now or later.

Imagine if they do develope the bomb. The USS Ronald Reagan holds over 5,500 sailors not to mention the support ships that escort her. I'd lay odds that if they had the bomb this would be a target considering that we frequently have these groups in the Persian Gulf.

Imagine if a bomb were to be launched towards Israel.....the retaliation that would follow would destroy the entire region.

During WW2 we let the left in the U.S. keep us out of the war until it was to the point were the only foothold left in Europe was Great Britain. Real nice, how many of our men died at Normandy beach trying to gain a foothold on the mainland?

I'm all for strategic bombing and if we see the 11 mill. suicide squad moving towards Iraq.......M.O.A.B. their asses. :thumbsup:

Have a good one!:s4:

Everything I've read in the last two weeks has said that the threat of these new, much stronger sanctions is what has, at long last, gotten Iran's attention and is starting to urge them in the direction of compliance with the UN security council and the IAEA conditions. I don't see us as only having two choices, and I think we need to stick with the sanctioning-followed-by-inspection approach and see if it achieves the desired result unless we want to commit literal and political suicide, both for ourselves and Israel.

I do not think that the "left" was not responsible for keeping the U.S. out of WWII. Most Americans did not want another world war, and right-wing isolationists were actually more worried about Trotskyism.

Today there are also the far-right lunatic fringe people, like pisshead, who are extremely concerned about illegal Mexican workers, but have no recognition of the threat Islamic totalitarianism.

There are way too many Bombs away people in our leadership to avoid a confrontation unless public outcry heads it off. With the right wing Muslim hating zealots screaming for extinction of all muslim radicals, and the Bush agenda of being the man in charge of starting Armegeddon, it is a dismal future we face without some intervention of either Divinity or common sense. If I were choozing, I'd have to pick common sense, but there has been a real rarity of that lately, so buckle up and hold on, the ride is about to get bumpy!

Oh ya, I see many times over on TV citizens on the U.S. screaming "Death to Iran" while burning their flag........OOOOPS.....that's Iran that does that. But they're the good guys looking for a peaceful world under Allah. Sorry!

Right, left....really doesn't matter that much. We should have learned that keeping our collective heads hidden up our asses doesn't work. :Tomcat:

That's true - but it doesn't hurt to understand what the idiots are doing in our midst. It's becoming increasingly clear that it's the lunatic-fringe groups like the John Birch Society, now that the Cold War is over, that are influencing the thinking of people like pisshead. I looked over their website yesterday, and confirmed it. They are far-right as they used to be - but now have a legalize-marijuana stance as well. They are also big on the 9/11 conspiracy theories. This is the same group that called Eisenhower a communist.

The old saying about politics making strange bedfellows is still relevant.

Have a good day.:thumbsup:
