“If someone harms our people and invades our country, we will endanger his interests anywhere in the world.”

That pretty much sums it up ....defense. I don't blame them either, any country in their situation would most likely be preparing some kind of counter-attack. no doubt Israel and the United States have been monitering their country, probably to a bigger extent than anything iran has done in the U.S.

Iran is getting bullied and they are doing whatever they can to try to stop it.

People can't leave people alone these days.

I wonder if they will try something, you cant really blame them.

Drew · 03-17-2005, 05:59 PM

Yeah, can't really blame them.

I mean, it's not like they brought it on themselves by painting huge murals on their government buildings that read "Death to America" and "Destroy the Great Satan." I mean, encouraging their people to take daily action to destroy Western civilization is not the least bit hostile whatsoever.

Yeah, can't really blame them. Anyway, it's going to be warmer tomorrow and I'm going to go out and touch up the "BURN THE IRANIANS" sign on my house. Saturday I'll probably work on my car mural that reads, "DESTROY ISLAM NOW."

That would be fine and dandy...if they were the only country that did that.

Also what kind of bullshit reason to attack a nation is "They said mean things about us!" cry:

The New York Sun. happy:

Two of my roommates in college were Iranian and they were happy as hell to be out of that place. I mean over there, they'd kill you for having a good time.

The Iranians are attacking shit.

If they are that outspoken about wishing literal harm and death upon our country and our people, what do you think they are doing behind closed doors? They aren't signing peace treaties, I can tell you that much. But I guess you possess your own intelligence agency who already told you that the Iranians are playing nice. I'm sure there is no way possible that Israeli, European or American intelligence discovered a plot against the EU or the US. Nah, never. You know everything that's going on in the world, obviously. How dare I contradict you.

It's almost guaranteed that they are exporting terrorism at a very nice clip. And really, I think it's fairly safe to say that Iran has been our number one target all along. In fact, our positioning practically screams it:

[img]http://almashriq.hiof.no/general/900/910/912/maps/middle.east.gif[/img]

Iraq: May as well be US territory by the end of the year.
Afghanistan: Practically already is in military terms
Pakistan: Allies
Turkey: NATO
Saudi Arabia: Allies
Turkmenistan: Allies (not 100% sure on this, but they do allow US military operations to be based there)
United Arab Emirates: Allow US operations
Qatar: Same
Kuwait: Obviously
Syria: We'll probably hit them before Iran
Jordan: Cooperates for the most part

As you can see, it seems as though US policy has been geared all along at dismantling Iran, who also, by the way, is probably the greatest threat to US and European interests in the world right now.

North Korea blows a lot of smoke, but they're all bark and no bite. A war would likely see the genocide of their population as it is already being starved to death without one.

China is probably the second largest threat to global stability, but only due to the Taiwan issue. China still lacks the ability to project force anywhere and their culture disallows for such cowardly acts as state-sponsored terrorism abroad of the sort that Iran finances.

Yes, I know that Iran isn't the only one exporting terrorism. And I'm not saying I agree with every aspect of the war in Iraq.

However, everyone always likes to assume that they have all the pieces to the puzzle and they know everything that is happening around the world. The truth is, we as citizen know FAR less than the people who are making these decisions. You have no clue what kind of threats have been unearthed through intelligence gathering but cannot be revealed to protect the agents and to protect possible counter-actions.

Maybe try thinking about the big picture every now and then instead of blindly calling for the blood of the decision-makers. If you were so suited for the position, you'd be on your way there already.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Do you think we should take them out? The thing about that is is that we would have to deal with Saudi Arabia too. It would be an unwinnable situation I think-ending in stalemate. I think the Lefties would go crazy.

Stammer · 03-17-2005, 08:34 PM

I wouldn't worry about Saudi, Syria, or Iran. We will be dealing with China first.
