I'm sure they've been working on it for years, I remember reading about it in the mid 90s in a newspaper article about people ready to revolt. I'm not holding my breath.
There are quite a few awful dictators left and even in the worst circumstances where people die on a regular basis like in N Korea and Sudan or in slightly less dire circumstances like in Cuba or Iran no one has really done anything. It is almost as though the people don't care about real freedom and if they don't care then why should we I suppose. |

Well i wouldnt suppose the current government in the US would really care either...freedom US style seems to be the order of the day...for the next 4 years anyway...given George W Bushs inaugruation speech... |

Well I don't think it is freedom US style, it is basic freedoms such as Freedom of press, freedom of choice, freedom of equal rights, freedom of non persecution, etc.
It isn't agreed that in every place on this globe people should be allowed to choose who leads them, allowed to practice religion freely, express themselves freely, pick what profession they choose, should be allowed to move freely, etc regardless of faith, race, or gender?
I think some people don't even understand what a basic freedom is because they have never known freedom. Does not knowing what freedom is mean you don't need it just becuse you are accustomed to living without it? |

You either a) Don't know the history of American continent b) Ignoramus Maximus c) Haven't been following the news - Canada is helping democratize Afganistan and Iraq right along with US.
Shall I go on?:clown: |

I'm persian myself, so I really do want US to go to Iran and try put a stop to the damn Mullahs.. en hate them.
I hope freedom is brought to Iran once more, after being taken away from US when they brought that Mullah Khomehni (sp?)
I remember the Shah of Iran, far out, now he was a leader. He made Iran look more westernized but the damn Mullahs and their bull beliefs brainwashed people into thinking something bad was happenening.
I know alot of people keep relating Iran to bad things, you couldn't be more wrong.. but if u related the Mullahs to bad things, then i would agree.
Down with the Mullahs |
This is just like the Cold War. I believe Iranian people are oppressed by their government and prisoners of their own country. I don't think US will invade Iran, I think the statements are made more to the people of Iran - to raise the turmoil, possibly spark another revolution. Get the people who are fed up with the opression to make a move.
Personally, knowing the trigger-happy Bushes, I would not be surprised if US did try to pull a mission against Iran. I would actually root for Iran only if it werent for their well-known urge to destroy US and Israel and sponsorship of terrorism.
Other than that, I'm sure they are wonderful people and mean no harm to others, except for the two above (and their allies).
Now, lets consider the flip side of the coin.
At this time, which other country is left in the Middle East that is not a US "ally" and big enough to be concern for US? Iran is the only one left to be a problem.
oh, and for all Canadians that are criticizing US and so on - keep in mind that if Iran retaliates with nukes, you're right next door to US. An ICNBM sent to any of the borderline states would probably mess you up good too. Your best bet is to team up with US and help us invade the world, eh? |

thanks, I try to think up replies to pi$$ off as many wackos as I possibly can. My list just grew by another entry - thanks for participating. I wonder if a lack of capacity to understand sarcasm can be classified as an official handicap? :clown: |

The US won't invade or attack Iran.
.. the US doesn't have an invading army as we have seen in Iraq. |
Nor are we effective with timely finding WMDs, before they are shifted to near by areas or well hidden.
I bet you like 5 years from now, some kid in Iraq will find an underground bunker full of nukes, anthrax missiles, and VX Gas. Just wait and see. |

At this point in time, why develop nuclear weapons? If you need them to be a deterrant so you can do awful things and not be attacked then something needs to be done to stop you. I don't understand why the people of Iran talk about how much they have the leadership for decades, yet they never do anything other than talk about revolt. If it is so bad do something about it! |
1. Myabe they need nuclear weapons because America might attack them? why does American need them? WHy does any country?
2. its not just a case of waking up one morning and saying, "i think today i will start a revolt" and then its simply done. If it was that easy America would of never needed to invade iraqi to "free" the poeple.
lets just say, you wanted to start a revolt in america, or your own state? think how hard it would be. What would you do?
saying "oh if its so bad do something aobut it" is a naive view of it. |

If you're referring to when the BRITISH attacked the colonies, then yes, Canada has invaded someone. But that was 200 years ago and before we were actually a sovereign nation.
The only reason there are any Canadian troops in Iraq at all(and I doubt there are many), is because we can't afford to have the US pissed off at us like they were at France. |

Quite honestly, I was looking for Bush to FedEx the WMD's to Iraq if none were found. :D |
