Originally posted by jonSun I agree. The differnce between Iran & Iraq is that Iran is 99% Shia & the Shias have power.

Actually, Iran is 90 percent Shia, but only 51 percent of Iran is Persian.
So how much power does the remaining 49 percent really have?

It's high time to split that sorry excuse of a backwards country up BIG TIME!

Originally posted by pmoisse I dunno about Israel attacking...I think the US will use all of it's pressure to prevent them from attacking since they know the whole situation will get beyond anyone's control if Israel attacks. The US runs the risk of losing support from it's moderate friends in the region too if that happens (Saudis, Jordan & Egypt).

Wrong. The governments of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, would all be just fine with Israel or the US taking down Iran's nuclear facilities. Even the Iranians know that.

Originally posted by Purple The truth is US 'soilders' are shit scared of being in Iraq, they cry,they send emo letters back home, saying they dont want to die, because they know they will die, and if they stay Iraqies will fuck them. Those cute little US soilders which Hollywood show in movies looks only good in movies.. in reality they sweat and shit in their pants when Bush says we need more re-inforcements.. American soilders are pussies.

Where do you come up with this shit??? How many soldiers have you talked to?

I trust they would be ok if the US took out Iran's facilities, but I'm just not sure if the Israeli attack would be a deal breaker.

As I've said before, I think if anyone bombs them it'll be the US.

Maybe I'm reading too much into the Israeli-Arab relations aspect.

We already know you're racist, no need to repeat it.

Again, that sounds like you, you know, the WMD conspiracy theory.

Didn't know that was your God given right; imposing your will on other nations, through extreme violence and coercion? Not only is that facist, but far worse than the "conventional" terrorism the US sponsors all over the world. Guess that doesn't come as a big surprise though. I expect the Don to be far worse than his goons.
