Iran pose no threat. They do not support terrorism in any way. The only reason people hate them is the islamophobia that George Bush used to try and the American people whipped into a frenzy so he could do what he wanted. They do not condone the actions of so called muslim terrorists, no true Muslim (or muslim country) does.

Actually, it's quite the opposite. When Bush went into Iraq, NK and Iran were far better targets with respect to dangerous countries. He just wanted to attack Iraq.

Iran and NK are really serious issues. Personally, I don't think they are serious for the US, as Iran will take out Israel the first chance it can, and NK will attack Japan before it attacks us.

We should care because we should care, but we should do very little about it until one of our allies who is in far more danger asks us to.

 

I actually totally agree.  I mean if Bush was going to pre-emptively invade anyone, Iraq was the wrong choice.  Iran would have been a much better choice.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
