Do you honestly think that Iran does not want to become a nuclear power? You can be certain that Iran wants to become a nuclear power, and once they do, the first thing that they will do will be to nuke-out Israel.

The propaganda is strong in this one.

The suicide-bombing mentality of the Islamofascist is particularly terrifying to world survival. At least during the years of the cold war the US and USSR never used nukes because of "mutually assured destruction".

But what about the suicide-bombing mentality of those that invented suicide bombing as a strategy and have carried out the most suicide bombings of any one group? You know, the secular Marxist group the Tamil Tigers? How does that fit into your "MAD doesn't apply to Iran" propaganda line? Do you even understand the motivations behind suicide bombers? There have been entire books written about the subject. They do it to try and affect the foreign policies of western governments, i.e. their occupiers. When said occupier is of a different religion, suicide bombing in the occupied regions skyrocket. It has nothing to do with Islam, and everything to do with what the bombers perceive as foreign occupation.

But what concern is "mutually assured destruction" to some brain-dead suicide bomber? With the 6 million Jews of Israel surrounded by 200 million Moslems, the Islamofascists might not even care that a few million Moslems were "martyred" in order to exterminate the "infidels" of Israel.

Then what concern is MAD for the Tamil Tigers and other groups that use suicide bombing as a tactic?

These horrible "imperialist" Jews, who have been living in Israel for only 4,000 years.

Here we go. Now the fun starts... have you wiped the spittle off your monitor yet from cursing the Others?

And don't think that it would end with Israel. Remember 9/11. With the Jewish scapegoats in Israel all dead, the Islamofascists would have to scrapegoat the USA, and a nuclear 9/11 would be next.

Wait & see. If the lefties take over national security, we're all going to need lead underwear.

I think it ends with your fearmongering propaganda.

"Who's junked out piece of sh.... is this?"

So if I may rephrase, you are asking if I believe the US should act as World Policeman? I would need to attack that question on a case-by-case basis. I was not trying to make that point - my point was that Iran's treatment of various groups of people among its own populace was evidence that convinces me I am not ready to endorse greeting them as friends (speaking governmentally here, you understand, not meaning to paint all Iranian citizens with the same brush).

Afternoon delight...

and start screaming imprecations at Iran. Wallaby's tear-jerker tale about coffee in Dubai (maybe it was Qatar?) didn't do the trick so the heavy metal crowd want to move in. Unfortunately, we've been looking at the doings of the Israeli army in their ghetto so all the bell-ringing of the Zionists sounds incredibly hollow. One question for Bela Lugosi which may sound tres Strange, why doesn't Israel fight its own wars without involving the whole world, radicalising all the young Muslims living far away from the USA but at Europe's front door.

As for Tommy, maybe you know the English expression "tommyrot". While gazing at Gaza, I just can't find myself worrying about gays in Iran as whole families are being wiped out. Get knotted.

Ever the fine upstanding Christian Imperialist, and after succumbing to the myth of the successful surge, has Obama now been cowed by the mythical Iranian nukes?

Note how the false comparison Davis and other propagandists make (e.g., Montreal : Rochester = Gaza : Israel) precisely follows Goering's advice: declare an attack, denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism.

The interests of US are identified with the interests of Israel. Actual attacks against Israel, however self-provoked, or even mythical threats against Israel such as non-existent Iranian WMD--just as ante bellum Iraq--are being treated as existential threats to US.

Israel doesn't have just the ear of our "Holy" War Party leaders: it has their souls. They don't dare jeopardize their own access to Heaven by stating the obvious: Israel is the aggressor here.

GLEEN GREENWALD: So what's the justification for Obama's inflammatory and obviously consequential (though seemingly baseless) claim on national television that the Iranians "are pursuing a nuclear weapon that could potentially trigger a nuclear arms race" when the consensus of American intelligence agencies is that they are not doing so?

As I said last month: Obama is being, or about to be, run like any other asset of the same NSA-type fiends who've been jacking us to hell with myths of mass destruction, and sticking us with the bill, for god knows how long now.

And as I said in February, 2008: Obama is ringing the same ol' cracked bell of American liberty.

ALAN WATTS: But nevertheless the imagery affects us because the image of the monotheistic god of the West is political. The title King of Kings and Lord of Lords is the title of the emperors of ancient Persia. The image of god is based on: the pharaohs; the great rulers of the Chaldeans; and the Kings of Persia. And so this is the political governor and lord of the universe, who keeps order and who rules it, from, metaphorically speaking, above.[The Relevance of Oriental Philosophy, podcast downloaded December, 2007 from http://www.alanwatts.com]

Making a false god of "The Great Father in Washington" and then using the power of myth to "put the fear of god into them" is what we do. Ah, but ain't that America? Our business model is plantation. Our PR strategy is that of the Nazis.

SEN. ROBERT BYRD: The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.” Hermann Goering, president of Reichstag, Nazi Parliament, 1934. [http://www.democracynow.org/2008/3/25/body_of_war_new_doc_tells]
