hijacking...
in all fairness to Israel, Iraq and Israel were in a open state of war when it struck it's nuclear reactor, and it genuinely feared that Baghadad would use whatever nukes it had immediately with no hessitation aginst Israel. I am not so clear current Israelis veiw Iran as such a direct threat to their existance, although the possibility of Iran giving WMD to terrorist is obviously there foremost concern. |

The ones they've admitted they've been trying to procure in the past. ;)

Although admittedly it appears that Iran is becoming less of a threat by cooperating with the IAEA and submitting to spot inspections. |

Mud Huts??, hmmm your retarded parents definetly dropped you on your head. Have you even read the news, properly...or do you just look at the points and just come and spread your ty views on the boards. The earthquake happened on a 2000 year old area, Iranians compared to americans want to keep their ancient heritage intact and preserve it, it is not the governments or even the peoples fault. Please don't come here and think you know what your talking about .
Have you even seen the other parts of Iran before commenting about mud huts or some ? ahhh i don't think so, your ignorance has spoken.
wow, no surprise there, you follow in his retard tradition.
and to say that Iran could have done more, what about 9/11, couldn't America do more for that...maybe build better buldings :stongue:
rather than mourn about the people who are dead and the families who are grieving, you come here and practically say that Iran deserved it because they didn't do alot...pfft, ignorance. |
why do you have to insult. does it make you feel more powerful badmouthing someone over a message board where he cant kick your ass? your parents must not have taught you any manners. you should work on your manners and not make fun of people, beside, this is an online message board, do you think it hurts his feelings when you call him or his parents retarded? |

i think iran probably has building codes, but they dont follow them, or else so many people would not have died. although it is not the goverments fault that the earthquake struck, since they are unpredictable, it is their fault for not enforcing building codes. |

Building code designs don't necessitate that houses survive hurricane force conditions. To do so would be a far too costly and impractical to put in motion. For one, who would be able to afford to live in Florida? You would immediately exclude the poor who would not be able to build all their houses out of concrete or what not. Second of all, given the unpredictable path of the hurricane, infrequency of strikes, redevelopment of new homes/communities, etc., and doing a cost/benefit analysis, yields far greater costs than benefits. So where is the risk factor of hurricanes taken into account? Insurance ... your housing insurance rates are probably a lot higher than other regions. You then balance out the high costs of your premiums over years of inactivity for when a hurricane does happen to hit. All your premiums are then paid out to those who are actually effected by the disaster. It's a far more efficient system than hurricane proofing every single house and home imo. I wouldn't even know how you would go about doing such a thing. HOwever, there likely are building codes that would LIMIT the amount of damage a periphary hurricane can cause to a structure that passes the cost/benefit analysis test. |
