[catamount man]

Nukes?
an attack on Israel?
an attack on America?

What makes you think something special will happen that day?

They are legalizing gay marriage, and threaten to nuke any country that doesn't recognize them.

[CID1990]

They might unveil a nuke.

[BlueHen86]

They might unveil a nuke.

If so, I hope that it accidentally goes off.

Eh, perhaps he's following George Bush's style of declaring "war" on Iraq...give them a three months' head start.

[ASUG8]

Not that we've ever really believed anything coming out of Tehran, but if they do what you're suggesting the Chinese and Russians can't continue to sit idly by since they've boldfaced lied to the international community about their nuclear aspirations.

Not that the UN, China, or Russia will do anything about it - or us for that matter.

Why would you welcome an attack? Settle down Bush.

I think he will announce he is undergoing a sex change to be with his beloved, Chaz Bono.


I think...

Tru dat - they're feisty little buggers.....

I wouldn't call them feisty, as much as I would say they don't give a shit what other people think when it comes to their own survival.

America is always in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. We have fought the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with kid gloves on. The sort of restrictions that make us look weak in the eyes of Al Qaeda. I know it isn't possible, but we should have paved Iraq and Afghanistan over with massive firepower and then wielded an iron fist. It is the only thing the Middle East understands.

Just glad I don't have to make the military decisions.

I agree - when it comes to military, airline security, development of cutting edge technology, etc. there aren't many countries as resourceful as Israel. They don't take any crap out of anyone. Of course, when nearly all your immediate neighbors have guns pointed at you 24/7 it probably helps to stay frosty.

I think we killed enough civilians as it is, even when trying very hard not to.

Kid gloves?

We've killed over 100,000 civilians, Stanley.

As far as "the only thing the middle east understands..", that's also drivel. They'd understand something else real fast if we weren't buying their oil. For a scientist, your thinking sticks remarkably close to the beaten path, the same beaten path that's always left us beholden to people like the Bushes and their Saudi business partners, the bin Ladens. Wake up.

[CitadelGrad]

The 100K dead civilians has been debunked often and thoroughly. Don't bring that weak-ass stuff here.

What is the best estimate, then?

[93henfan]

I'm less concerned with the 100,000 figure than the claim that they were all caused by the US. Sure, we've killed some civilians. That's what war is all about. But so has Al Qaeda, other outside Arabic resistance, and (probably the biggest source) Iraqi Sunnis and Shias fighting each other.
