So aren't they admitting that no matter what

Iran does, we just want to nuke 'me . Just because.


It doesn't matter if Iran applies to become the
51st state. It doesn't matter if Iran sends us postcards

with kittens and flowers.


It isn't about Iran. It is about the need to manufacture
a crisis to justify our hatred and paranoia.

I believe the Iranian elections do matter. It will be a test of the reach of the olive branch Obama has extended. Something good could come from Ahmedinejad being ousted. Do I believe that Iran's nuclear ambitions will be put aside because of it? Not in a million years.

Iranian elections don't matter any more than Iraqi elections mattered when Saddam was in power. A religious genocidal dictatorship is still a religious genocidal dictatorship no matter who is put into power. Only the incredibly naive and inexperienced Affirmative Action President and his devote kool-aid drinkers think the Iranian election will make any difference.

We'll have to wait and see. With the neocons using the fear as you chose to is disheartening at best.

Of course they say that. There is a possiblility that the more pro-American candidate might win, and the neo-cons don't want that because Obama might end up with a morsel of the credit for it.

Actually, many people in Iran seem to think the election will make a difference. Must be Kool-Aid exports, I guess...

Wow Dukester, I see your churning up the hate today. If you knew anything, You would know that the Iranian "president" has no more power than Queen Elizabeth does over the British Empire. The President answers to the "Supreme leader"--the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Nice try though trying to smear conservatives. You fail again.

I can't wait for the day when the new president of Iran meets with Obama, face to face. Our people don't hate Iranians and Iranian people don't hate Americans. It's the Neo cons in America that hate the Neo Cons in Iran and the Neo cons in Iran hate the Neo cons in America. So lets put them all in the desert with guns and missles and let them fight themselves!!!! Oh I forgot...our neo cons are chicken ****s!!!! They don't fight, no wonder they need the US military to do the fighting for them!!!! Peaces of ****e they are!!!

What new President? Have the elections been decided? I don't see a peep of the election results anywhere proclaiming Ahmedinejad's defeat.
