Iran ‘Wants Us Dominated or Dead'
That's a concise description of Islam too. They want you dominated or dead.
They probably prefer you dead.
The Latin American angle is news to me. If that happens we need to treat it like the Cuban Missle Crisis.
Hey AD I blame Carter administation if wasn't for the Peanut farmer we wouldn't have this mess with wacky Mullahs
Once upon a time people understood the concept that somebody else wants you dead. Now we are more 'civilized'. To that I say BullShiite. Bad people are out there.
Religion of peace PING
I say latin America won't actually help in attacks on the US.
OK, umm.. lemme think.. welll, I guess I'll vote for perish!
Let Israel have their way with Iran's nuke facilities.
I'm sure they mean this in only the most positive sense...
/sarcasm
I hope that is true, but there is a lot of Anti US feeling in these countries. Blame the US is a successful model for them to cover the internal problems they can't solve.
A nuclear attack on the US from Latin soil would result in that country (and Iran) evaporating from existence in a matter of hours. I can't believe they would be that stupid.
Cause I knew if given the word, we could have jammed every TV in Iran with a broadcast of a "Jimmah" (the version with Balls)saying...
" You have 24 hours to release our people or we will start nuking your cities ,starting in the south and moving north til you disappear off the face of the Earth,
G'nite Ya"ll"
Yes, on one had, the author rails against Western (and particularly US) leaders for not recognizing and dealing with the threat. Then he goes on to urge..what? Not military auction - that might be too provacative. Not diplomatic action - that will never work? Just support the Iranian people, and create a strike fund for Iranian workers??
I'm sorry, but the only thing most enemies respect is the power to kill or stop them. In the case of those inspired by Islam, I'd say that only their deaths will stop them from killing us. Except, however, that I doubt that much of the Islamic leaders around the world actually have the courage of their convictions. Osama's not heading out to face an American tank, regardless, and neither will Iran's leaders. At some point they'll give in, but only a lot of DEAD Iranians and other Muslims, and a geniune threat against their own existance will change their course of action.
Even then, that change will not last. They'll study the Quran, figure out how the rest of the world is screwing Muslims and preventing the second coming of the Maddi, and they'll start on new methods of killing and/or enslaving non-Muslims again.
The author is just another useless academic. He wants us to get serious, but "serious" to him means "no war", "no diplomacy", just give US money to Iranians and hope that the masses eventually want to make "nice nice" with the USA. What if they don't? What if, as it appears in much of Iraq, they just like our money and what we can give them, but otherwise would just as soon kill us?
Bush started well in Afghanistan and Iraq. I don't even mind spending the money (and American lives) to promote democracy there. But true PEACE for Americans goes THROUGH Iran and Syria. Until we occupy .. and I mean OCCUPY Iran and Syria, and cut of the transportation lanes now used by terrorists to move arms, supplies, and cash into Iraq, we'll be fighting and dying there for a 100 years.
Other countries are certainly players in this war, but after the leadership of four Islamic countries fall, the only two that count are probably Korea (nukes and a crazy man for a ruler) and Venezuela (oil money and a crazy man for a ruler).

Believe it. They live in their American hating dream world, nothing like the reality that you and I live in. In the case of the Islamonazi's, they really believe that stuff about the 72 virgins, etc. Don't make the mistake of projecting your rational thought process on our enemies.
===============================================================================================
I have no respect for Carter, but this mess would have appeared eventually one way or another. Muslim's have been about Jihad for over 1000 years. Oil money gave them the ability to exercise some power projection for the first time in centuries. Islam is a militaristic religion. You convert or you die, and your family and property become the holy, Allah-given property for Muslim victors.
They won't stop until they are stopped by the sword (or in our case, hopefully, bullets and bombs).
I know my perspective puts me to the "right" of Ghengis Khan for most, but it's based on what's written in the Quran, the history of Islam, and the very words of Islamic leaders.

Iran is indeed a threat and there is a lot of good information in this article. But this statement is an overstatement. Taking the embassy was indeed an act of war. But that was 25 years ago. And it came to an end when Reagan took office. And Reagan did not invade Iran in 1980. So apparently he did not think we were at war with Iran after the hostages were released. Now they are uttering threats and destablizing Iraq but they have not attacked the U.S. -- yet. It's only recently that they could be considered to have "declared war on us". They have certainly hated us since the Shah was thrown out. But hating us is not the same as declaring war. One could certainly argue we never got even for the embassy takeover however.
We could turn Iran into a roiling mass of radioactive debris within a few hours, thus exterminating every living creature therein. If that is what they want, that is what they will get.
Iran should have been turned into a parking lot 30 years ago...still, better late than never!
Under jimmmuh carter's "leadership" ??? LOL!!!
