Typical TBD Guy Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Why the sad face? It's about time some of these ME countries turn into dust. Here's hoping to an Israeli invasion, dragging Iran and Syria into it. Buy a map right now, because in three years, Iran, Lebanon, and Syria won't be on it. 723370[/snapback] I'm actually hoping Iran gets dragged into this. Might give us and Israel a good excuse to finally go demolish Iran's ongoing nuke program, which is BY FAR the most dangerous situation currently in the Middle East.

Iran becomes a nuclear power. 2. Iran doesn't become a nuclear power. The former should be considered absolutely unacceptable. For the latter, I only see one viable solution: 1. Israel/US/our allies bomb Iran's nuke centers now or ASAP. Others might suggest: 2. Diplomacy - has proven to be useless with the Iranian regime...they want nukes, not nuclear power...any diplomatic talks with them are done with their fingers crossed behind their backs. 3. Internal revolt - definitely not gonna happen anytime soon enough, especially since Iranian citizens aren't allowed free press, guns, etc... That's my take. I don't think our options are more complex than this, but I could be wrong. What's your take? And please try to respond without your usual sarcastic, condescending remarks or lame-ass, homophobic Fit jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're on this board 24-7, posting in every thread imaginable. And now TBD's resident pseudo-intellectual has finally found a topic for which he has no time . So...does anyone else know any decent options for halting or disarming Iran's weapons program? Otherwise, I'd definitely be up for some strategic Israeli missile strikes a la Iraq 1981!

This link is about the strait of hormuz. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2...1730.shtml?s=lh Then there is iraq, and possible interference by iran to ramp up the insurgency. Then hamas which is in america and other countries around the world. Just another day in pardise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your sorry ass has already reduced the problem to a binary set (Iran has nukes/Iran doesn't have nukes), and reduced the solution to a binary set (bomb/don't bomb). You've already set the world speed record for establishing total ignorance of a topic...so why the hell should I bother discussing intricacies like the effect of bombing Iran on Amman, when your only likely answer is "Who cares! Either Iran gets nukes or they don't!" I'll reserve serious discussion for people who can handle it. You're just a waste of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X. Benedict Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Now that, I can agree with. I would say that most wars, bloodshed, and misery occured over the course of human history due to religion... 722555[/snapback] You would say that and you would be wrong. That is just silly.

You're just a waste of bandwidth. 723580[/snapback] Ah goody, the usual arrogant response from the manic depressive, yuppy burnout monkey with the inferiority complex... Yes, I reduced a complex problem and a complex solution to a couple of "binary sets" ( , what a !@#$ing tool you are). Partly in the interest of my weekend time, partly because the issue of Iran CAN be simplified in such terms. You really think Iran's weapons program will somehow cease without the use of external force? In theory, of course that's possible. In practicality? Very doubtful. Or perhaps you think the consequences of bombing Iran now will be worse than the consequences of allowing them to have nukes later? That's plausible - and would be an interesting debate with you if you weren't such a prick - but provided that the US and our allies come to Israel's defense in the event of an Iranian airstrike, I think I'd much rather see us/them take the chance now. Iran, with nukes, will undermine the Middle Eastern fledgling democracies, influence the global oil economy, and be able to siphon WMD's to whatever rogue terrorist organizations they choose.

True, occaisionally God is invoked to legitimize these enterprises. In most of human history race, ethnicity and nationalism make much more persuasive propoganda than any religious claims with a few exceptions.
