Iran Really DOES Have A Case For Nukes (Bush, Iraq, wages)

saganista do you not believe that religions are the root cause of evil or the people that believe in them are irrational? I thought I heard you say that one time....I very well could be mistaken.

I have to give Saganista points for this. Because it is in fact correct...
Israel will violate resolution after resolution and with immunity due to their sugar daddy.
Now why should Iran or any one else for that matter give a hoot what the UN demands? It is a toothless org more concerned with self image than actually achieving anything. Hmmm sounds a lot like our elected officials actually.
Iran with Nukes is a scarey idea. They have a history of supplying terrorists with just about every weapon in their inventory.
Question why don't terrorists go after China? Could it be that China minds their own business and makes everything a business deal and not personal?
That and many of the weapons used are of Chinese or N.Korean manufacture. Those that aren't come from the former soviet bloc countries.
I think it safe to say Irans beef with the USA is more than 8 years old. In fact it may go back to when we help to install the Shaw. Maybe we should have minded our own business then too.

It is laughablle how some people get all up in arms about "selective" breaking of UN resolutions.

Usually the same ones that make fun of the UN the rest of the day.

Somehow I think the Palestinians would disagree. With the help of U.S. taxpayer dollars I might add.




WHO IS WIPING WHO OFF THE MAP?

I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.
