In 1983 or 1984, in the marshes around Basarq, the Iranins pushed closed to 60,000 children (boys 10-14) ahead of their vaunted Rev Guards; Saddam responded by gasing the marshes and breaking the back of Iran's manpower, effectively ending a war that seesawed back and forth. There is literally volumnes written on the lost generation of men in Iran. This has been one the keys to holding this regime into power, e.g., stripping women of political power and killing off the male population. Plus, it ain't so hard to find 78 virgins when the female population is nearly 75% women in the age group between 18-35.

Re your #80 -

"...Them kids sure look thrilled to be there, all right."

If Iraq was any indicator, then there are probably machineguns strategicly placed to mow them down if they try to make a run for it, and one false move and these kids know that their entire families will be fed to the shredder.

Alive or dead, it probably sux 2 B them.

How the parents can sit there and passively allow this to happen amazes us - but then we havn't had to live under this level of suffocating oppression for as long as they have, I suppose, and have little idea of what it must be like to have your spirit so utterly crushed as to have no will to complain or resist - even as your children are being cruelly sacrificed.

good. it is stuff like this that may open some Iranian's eyes....and stir them to action against their lunatic 'government'.

But....i shant hold my breath.

No. The Haj to Mecca is one of the 5 Pillars of Islam. Without it, they don't get to paradise. Hard to make a pilgrimige to a nuclear wasteland.

Re your #217 -

"What do they do when the kids need a potty break?..."

Whaddaya think those baggy pantaloons are for?

Re your #237 -

"I'd be willing to bet that many or most of thee parents are not happy having to supply their children for stunts like this.

Perhaps they are offered money."

Perhaps - but I'd think that it is much more likely that they were made "an offer that they couldn't refuse", if you get my drift.

but didn't the US govt. have a habit of putting a number of federal facilities in close proximity to day care centers (Murrah building in OKC for example) ?

Surely you jest! I hardly think the daycare was there to protect the Murrah building! Could it be...to provide daycare for the Federal workers...?!

Israel would need to use nuclear weapons in order to take Iran out for many of the reasons cited in your post among other things. Such an attack would cause WWIII to break out in the middle east. It is very reasonable to think that Iran and Syria have already armed the various terrorist groups in the region with with chemical weapons to use against Israel if they attack Iran. Israel should have a plan in place to take out Iran and the terrorists out if need be, but I believe a preemptive nuclear strike against Iran would not be in the best interest of Israel or the world.

Israel should keep a strong posture and promise assured destruction of any nation that attacks it with nuclear weapons, but they should also give the United States and the international community a chance to solve this problem by what ever means we deem necessary. Israel acting alone would make this an all-out war between Islam and Israel that would be extremely costly to both sides. I have confidence that the US and our allies can solve this problem with a more surgical military approach that will assure the safety of both Israel and even the Iranian people by taking out the leadership and the nuclear capability with minimal civilian casualties in Iran.

It would then be up to Israel to take on the terrorist in its own back yard who would retaliate on Iran's behalf. This would be much easier for Israel in this instance because they wouldn't be receiving the same backlash they would have after attacking Iran themselves.

I think we must also consider the possibility that Iran's nuclear program is meant for defensive purposes, rather than offensive purposes. This theory does not assume that Iran is peaceful, but it does assume that Iran wants nukes to protect their regime from being overthrown by the US, rather than to destroy Israel or the west. They probably believe being a nuclear power would make them untouchable as a regime, and it would make them a major world power. We should stop them regardless, but this situation may not require as immediate or as severe a response as is being suggested. What I mean is we don't need to hit them tomorrow, we may have 6 months or a year to figure out the best course of action.

I was just cc:ing you to it since you were discussing it with the other poster

Iranians are going to have to decide if they love their children more than their nuclear research/production facilities.

"I think his screenname is "Khashayar."

Yeah, it looks like he's been banned though, guess he won't be able to tell us what's going on.

I considered this, but then I reflected that Rafsanjani, Ahmadinejad and cohorts of other Iranian theocrats have all loudly boasted that they will destroy Tel Aviv in nuclear fire when they get the bomb. So, no I don't agree. We must act now before the genocidal fantasists become realists

"Damn right. I wonder about some people posting here today. I think if they saw their child attacked by a wolf they would need to consider the fact that the wolf may have hungry pups in her den."

You've got that right fallujah-nuker. There are a handful on the FR that will support or apologize for the mudslimes and of course pull out the race/bigot card to anyone who wants to protect us from the insanity called is_SLIME.
