Hey... here's an idea - why don't you go preach your gospel to some truckers at a truck stop out on the interstates of America. You know....

If we bomb the middle east back to the stone ages... you boys will be rolling down the roads with $1.50 diesel in no time".

It's ok, Paully. Stick to your guns, baby! Might is right! And everything is fine. Never change thought in the middle of a catastrophe. It's a sign of complete weakness.

The economy is not terrible. I stick to my guns.

Maybe we should just bypass Iran and go right to Mecca, after all, the Saudis have more oil and that way we could keep the would be Crusaders happy too

WHY?

Saudi Arabia by most reports supplies both more $$$ and people to the Iraq insurgency than Iran. Remember? Those who are killing Americans? They also have larger oil reserves than Iran and to mollify the Crusaders they have Islam's holiest sites. Sounds like a target rich environment for the war-mongers.

He can't, Amadenijad isn't the Supreme Leader, that's Khomeini. Also, since when is it appropriate to "punish" one person by killing his people?
The stated goal of the insane madman, as well as the ruling council is to wipe Israel off the map.

Guaranteed; If a dem is elected in November, Israel WILL strike Iran.

Yes, god forbid the country use their natural resources for export (seeing as they are being crippled under sanctions).

Why do we not question Israel about their plethora of nuclear weapons? Why do we not question them about their continued illegal seizure of lands in the illegally-occupied territories?

Iran hasn't. And Iran signed a treaty which allows them to develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes.

No, he didn't. You're making things up. This is the kind of nonsenical PNAC rhetoric which got us into Iraq.

If we don't do it, Israel will, with our help, as it should be.
Last time I checked Israel had a stockpile of nuclear weapons.

Why should it be our goal to have Americans fight and die for Israels' alleged enemies? We already give them billions of money we don't have to carry out warcrimes across Palestine.

Get an education and figure out the real issues here. The name of the people lobbying for war with Iran reads like a phone book from Tel Aviv or New York City.

Do you have any sort of citation for this nonsense?

Israel has invaded sovereign nations and continues to illegally occupy and steal land in the West Bank and Gaza (illegal under international law). Is Iran bombing women and children with the latest U.S made technology? No, they're not.


Save your war-mongering nonsense for the uneducated.

I do not advocate more Americans going to fight and die for Israel.

Iran is also constantly declaring how Israel needs to be wiped off the map. Or should be like the democrats and wait until Israel is already wiped off the map?

Iraq stopped trading crude in US dollars before we invaded them. Not saying the two were wholly related, but Iran has been talking about this since 2004.
