Statement by the Founder of Free Republic
Please read and compare Jim's statement with Paul's statement posted above.
There are mixed feelings on this matter. i certainly have them.
Recall that Among the British, Indian, and five Israeli citizens, Iranian Citizens also died in the Twin Towers on 9/11. That would be Iranian Citizens in good standing with Iran.
In light of the fact that Ahmadinewackjob is a Shiite, from a fundamentalist Shiite 'republic' governed by Sharia law, he's probably not very happy with al Qaeda either (they're Sunis).
Yes, their government is composed of terrorist b@$tards, Ahmadinewackjob foremost among them, but Iran is not happy with their people getting messed with.
On the other hand, this guy would probably use the forum of 'ground zero' and time for more of the Jew Bashing that he's known for, probably with some "9/11 Truther" nonsense with his own particular spin.
To the rest of your post, just who is Iran...a nation which would cease to exist a few minutes after the US made the decision to terminate it's membership in the world...a threat to? No threat to the US, that's for certain. In the event of hostilities, they loose badly, and in hours.
In the event of some sort of nuclear exchange, they loose in a few minutes.We still have ballistic missiles that are far more accurate than Scuds, with range to reach anywhere in the world.
Hell, Iran wasn't even a serious threat to Iraq back in the 80's, and you know what a military genius Sadaam was </sarcasm>
