in our cities... don't think it's not going to happen if that f*cking maniac starts the next war, which seems all but imminent.

How how how can he be stopped by reasonable, rational people?

3. Right idea, wrong reason
We shouldn't avoid attacking Iran because of the fear of retaliation. We should avoid it because it's not beneficial for our country.

4. At this point
It's a matter of time before one of the groups mentioned begin blowing up buses here anyway, regardless. Even at that, we have no business being in Iraq or Iran.

5. That's what the neocon junta wants: reason for martial law in US
All their troubles will be over when they can suspend Congress and all rights.

They are setting a fleet up to be attacked by Iran, provoking Iran and then they will have us in so deep nobody will be able to drag them out of the Oval Office... they will be safe in bunkers giving orders.

9. yes. martial law is their plan.
and yes, the fleet is positioned so that Iran's sophisticated missile system can take out a few ships and kill a couple thousand sailors and marines. Iran has a very sophisticated military . . .

it sure is maddening to watch.

evidently there were only a few of us paying attention when they made us read Orwell in school.

7. I'm having a hard time formulating a response...
that won't get the secret service to my front door. Basically he cannot be stopped by reasonable, rational people. He's counting on that I think.

10. Iran is about a third as large as the continental contiguous United States. It has about 1/4 the
population of the United States. The Iranian state is fairly uniform in language, religion and ethnicity. The Iranians are proud of being Persian, and see themselves as the harbingers of civilization and monotheism...
Recall the glories of Xerxes and Cyrus the Great...of the glories of the fish ponds at Shiraz...etc. I think they would fight tooth and nail if one US or Arab infantryman entered their country.
Iran is "surrounded" by Arabs, Pakistanis, Afghanistan, and Central Asian states that are all beholden to the US. I don't blame them for feeling hemmed in!
Persia has waxed and waned over the centuries, but it has always remained Persia. A country this large and important should be courted, not jabbed with the sharp point of a sabre. They got rid of the tyrant in Teheran, the tyrant with his SAVAK that the US paid and praised and trained...that would be enough for me to hold a grudge!
The US played with fire when it took sides in the Afghan-Soviet War. And now we are playing with fire in the Arab world and now the Persian...what a madhouse!
These people in the State Dept. and on TV actually take Ahmadminajad seriously! He is a glorified ribbon cutter! The Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution runs the show in Iran, not the govt. and the president isn't even the head of the armed forces!
The hauling out of Iranians from their consulate by US forces in Kurdistan was an incident that in former times would have resulted in an ultimatum and/or war.
Saddam wanted to be Napoleon, but he was a pale imitation. Bush wants to be Churchill, but acts like Trotsky, only without the intellect and no Frida beside him or even a hit squad and devoted cadre following after him...he is just stupid.

12. home of many brilliant scientists etc.
Go to www.greatomar.com and order a DVD copy of

THE KEEPER: THE LEGEND OF OMAR KHAYYAM

Not only did he write The Rubaiyat, romantic poetry in quatrains, but also solved cubic equations and invented a calendar that is more accurate than the Gregorian calendar we use in the West, and is STILL used over there, all around 1000 C.E. Astronomer, mathematician, poet. Just one of the great minds of Persia.

Great movie. Made by a Persian who grew up in the US after his family fled the Khomeini revolution.
Has the ancient story and the modern story of Omar's descendants.
Filmed in Uzbekistan and Houston.

The director's next project is Cyrus the Great.

Persia is also the home of Zoroastrianism, the world's oldest still practiced religion, even older than Hinduism.

11. Are you in Israel?
Here in the U.S., it's gonna be Al-Q and/or Christian wingnuts blowing shit up, and it'll happen no matter what we do now.

You can unscrew a lightbulb, but not all the pooches * has screwed.
