Suicidal? Um, the region is actually kind of known for using suicide as a tactic!

Wow, that's not at all an offensive stereotype about the middle east. Yeah, everyone in the middle east is a suicide bomber, or will become one. The average farmer is just so dangerous and crazy.

You don't seem to understand the very specific conditions required for a Muslim to be considered a martyr by their religion. Getting curb stomped after phenomenal stupidity isn't a martyr suicide tactic.

It appears you still haven't read that poll I linked to, showing that Iran does have it's moderates.

This is twice now in several months that I've heard you say and take positions I think are completely reprehensible, to the point that I start to think I don't want to talk to you anymore. I imagine I will respond to you again in another thread anyway because I forget, but I'm certainly wishing right now that I'd stuck to my original decision.

Perhaps you are too. Maybe I should try again.

Hello,

I don't think Piz is evil. Or at least I don't remember Piz being evil, and he's been around a while. Likely there's just a couple key areas where his train tracks and yours don't intersect.

Then maybe he should be more careful about the information supplied to him by the american military and the media.

No one. So how are we gonna unHave it?

Quote PismoBeach on Iran: "They need to sell oil to survive."

Israel doesn't have to sell oil to survive. The Arab nations do.

I ask again Why? If you answer this you will see why I consider them "a little people, a silly people" and far too
impractical for their own good.

Yeah, you'd almost think they were Republicans or something, they have such low regard for the lives of their countrymen...

That's not really how it works. I imagine Israel actually probably does get oil from hostile nations, because they buy it off a market, not from the hostile nations.

For such "little impractical people," they gave us algebra. I think it's easy to forget just how much progress can be lost when a foreign government puts up an oppressive dictator and that's overthrown by a semi-democratic religious theocracy.

Which is why it's all the more confusing as to WHY you'd listen to his same bunch of neo-con cronies when they're trying to sell you the exact same line of bullshit they used to sell people on the disastrous Iraq war.

That's all fine and good, just as long as you realize that the U.S. has to sell oil to survive, too. It's our biggest export, after all.

So now that you've come right out and admitted that we're "a little people, a silly people", and far too impractical for our own good, where is your concern for our having nuclear weapons by the thousands?

It's true, Obama didn't exactly kick out the CIA leadership.

Seriously, any decent place on the planet it'd get you institutionalised, but here, it gets you elected.
