On the Iran question... I suspect that some Americans may wind up dead in a nuclear explosion. And if that happens, my historical reference would be Adm. Yamamoto's quote. As an example of an understatement.
Middle America won't put up with that kind of BS. Rattle sabers, we're busy working... Yell and demonstrate... we're busy growing food to feed your third world @$$.
But... p!$$ us off? Nuke 'em till they glow, shoot 'em in the dark.
