Right.

I give up.

I'll put back all the books I studied as a Military History major and years of keeping track of Military tactics and technology and surrender as it were to you Paul supporters. You guys like that anyways.....

Oh, but a few questions.

Is Iran an industrialized nation or a terrorist state?

How about Pakistan, I mean they have Nukes as has been acknowledged on this very thread. They are stable now, so I don't know. Teach me what all that means...

Oh and can terrorist steal nukes?

Also you say we will respond, which I hope we do, but can you find any cities to volunteer to be the one blasted by a nuke we could have prevented if we had take an aggressive stance? It could save some paper work and planning on Iran's or whomever part...

I am sure an expert with your level of knowledge has those answers so you can enlighten me...

(BTW the irony of your post is the number of times I have had to explain that the total disregard for their own lives is what causes the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction to not be applicable to containing the nukes if Iran goes hot and why only an aggressive solution will do)

What about a nuke that we could have prevented by NOT taking an aggressive stance, by not stomping around the world in combat boots decade after decade, by opening trade and cultural relations with other nations instead of military bases?

Or do you deny that possibility?

Can you share with us your experience and education on the military concept of "blowback?"

Right. I give up.

Well, in that case: www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

Can you name a city that hasn't? Here, I'll parse it for you:

They live in cities. Therefore, they vote Blue.
So if you're right and they get nuked, it's their fault, not yours and the Dim herd is mildly culled. Darwin would suggest that the survival instincts and voting habits of that weak breed of Donkeys would be consequently improved in future generations but it seems that kind of stupidity is pretty genetically ingrained.
And if you're wrong and they don't get nuked, then President Paul and a conservative GOP can proceed to solve the country's longstanding fundamental problems caused, most briefly stated, by a refusal to abide the Constitution's sage fundamental laws on matters like abolition of the IRS, dealing with illegal immigration, entitlements, tort reform, education privatization, restoring civil rights including freedom of speech, well, all those things that conservatives barely talk about because they're...all hiding under the bed with you trembling in terror of Achmed's supposed Bomb. Well, except that Achmed and his Bomb are far more likely to be Paki or Saudi than Iranian. And that threat has not been mitigated in the slightest during the Bush years and has, in fact, grown considerably.

A country filled with sheeple that has cheerfully murdered 50 million unborn children while munching Doritos on their couches and watching Superbowls and following the every exploit of Britney Spears can't exactly be standing on a moral high ground to excite great sympathies over them.

So either way, I'm fine with it. And my politics and principles won't change either way.

The rest of you tried to reinvent conservative principle after 9/11 and continuing "compassionate conservatism" (genuine Texan Great Society liberalism, LBJ-style). What you reinvented was Wilsonian internationalism and nationbuilding and militarism which simply don't work in the 21st century.

Tell me, are you old enough to recall the LBJ years? I am, just barely. The future is grim for the GOP if some of you don't come to your senses and push a genuinely conservative agenda. It's the only thing that can win for us in 2008.

While a small percentage has a total disregard for the own lives, most, including most Muslims, do not want to die. Twenty some number of virgins or not. .01% of a population is not a population that has total disregard for their lives.
