Ah, ern, they'll never learn. USAF Base-Kandahar was an easy call before the first bomb dropped, and some jar-head reminded me that it would be US Marine-Base Kandahar first, and of course, he was right!

The Persians are bracketed, and they know it. They'll be our 'new' best-friends.

Iraq is toast! Stay well and vigilant, kids, and figure it out!.........FRegards

I don't understand why we're focussing so much on Iraq. We should be planning to attack Iran if we really want to go after heart of terrorism.

Bernard Lewis is a middle-east expert and author. He opines that in Iraq and Iran, the governments are against the US, but the citizens would be pro-US, given the chance to freely select a government.

So if you accept that, which I'm willing to consider possible, it argues for the US to support changes in governments, over there. It seems a worthwhile strategy, and saves a lot of bombs, for any later, necessary use.

Bush told us it would take a long time. Our war isn't against Iraqi and Iranian civilians; but with radical islamist terrorists, their supporters, and dictators like Saddam.

We need to pick them off, through supporting government overthrows, clever diplomacy, economic deals with mutual benefits, and failing the above, with loud explosions. It will be wise to not open too many fronts, all at once.

Afghanistan is no longer a base, so Iran steps more directly in. Khatami is essentially setting up the excuse of "American Power" to rationalize future destabilization of Central Asia, to its own monetary interest. Can also be used to "compel" these countries to ship product through Iran, so Iran can control the pump.

Keep me on your ping list for this info Shermy. I'm trying to collect all the pieces of the anti-American puzzle. Thanks.

Once again the overwhelming need to sever US dependance on mid-east oil comes to mind. Ann Coulter's piece. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=108&ncid=742&e=9&u=/020419/51/1f5wj.html Gotta put more of the 401K into the fuel cell stocks.

What is it with the Arab world and the term "humiliation"? How is it that to them, anything they do can be excused with "it was a response to humiliation?" How psycho is that? It's like the gang kids who shoot someone for stepping on their shoe or their shadow and "dissing" them. I'm beginning to remember an incident....... 10 years ago, a friend's younger sister was a freshman in college, and she was taking a science class. A young Arab man was in the class and he did something foolish accidentally (lit the bunson burner at the wrong time and sent a flame up that scared him and made him jump, or something minor like that) and the girl laughed. He threatened to kill her for laughing at him and started stalking her. I'm coming to some conclusions about that culture.... thinking of honor killings, murdering your own sister because she committed the crime of being raped and "humiliating" the family... yuck. Just... yuck. Sick people.

I heard on the news today that our nations "spent" wells are actually filling back up. They said that it changes their view of how the oil is situated underground.

Oh my God, that would make me so happy.... please tell me where you read/heard this??

[Anamensis]

Can't touch Iran or anyone else now with Israel freelancing, though..

I don't see why. What does the one thing have to do with the other? Oh, we can pretend it does, and kowtow to fundamentalists and leftists.... but why?

[Destructor]

"444 DAYS!"

'Til what?

[Anamensis]

We need to pick them off, through supporting government overthrows, clever diplomacy, economic deals with mutual benefits, and failing the above, with loud explosions. It will be wise to not open too many fronts, all at once.

I say we go with CIA-led assassinations of troublesome dictators (each one followed by strong denials on the part of administration, of course.)

[texlok]

Is Iran so short-sighted it can't see across the border to Afghanistan, and see what happened last time a nation backed terrorists against the US???

Zogby is certainly in the propaganda business

444 DAYS!

Now, after all these years, still a good reason to neutron bomb them even further back into the stone age.

I don't hate the mideast. The region is very beautiful and resource rich. unfortunately it's infested with mohammedans.

God I pray that you'll bring the mohammedans to their senses, reveal the truth to them and save them.

God Save America (Please)

NUKE IRAN!

You are right on target. While Iraq is a dangerous enemy, I believe that the epicenter of world terrorism is Iran. Iran should definitely be in our crosshairs as we liberate Iraq and watch as the Iraqi people drag the carcass of saddam, udday, and the rest of this crazed family through the streets of Baghdad. It's going to be fun to watch as the Iranians turn on the mullahs I hope they dig up R. Khomaine and drag him through the bazaars of Teheran.

[SevenDaysInMay]

We must remember that Iran's current regime used tens of thousands of their little boys to clear mine fields in advance of troop movements attacking Iraqi positions. Many child "martyrs" were lost from the current 20-something generation.

Arabs and Pershians think of us as the Junited States of America. We are their enemy and they are at war. We had better get serious.

[mhking]

You want your country to get paved over? We got no problem with wall-to-wall blacktop as far as the eye can see from Baghdad to Kabul.

Just bring it. We'll supply the can of Whoopass, and open it all over y'all.

[tsomer]

The only thing anyone can reliably conclude about mohamedans is that they are full of $hit. When they say one thing, conclude the other is true. Those people believe it's their obligation to lie to non-muslims.

I'm not so sure the khatami is that big. Yes, he was implicated in arms shipments to hamas and arafart, but does he have the capability to sustain a terrorist regime on the order of the taliban? Two factors still run counter to this: the shiite/sunni split, whatever that's about, and a west-leaning population, reported recently (don't recall the source). It would seem hard to opperate a terrorist program in this setting.

Of course the arms shipment makes me wonder. Can somebody cite some articles showing further Iranian involvement? It wouldn't be the first time I've altered my opinion here.

[Soul Citizen]

Reason already exists

[Grampa Dave]

Just another example of why these fundamentalist Islamic a$$holes who rule Iran should be cleansed from this earth before we cleanse the thugs from Saddam land, Iraq!

These Islamic thugs who used boys to clear mine fields in their war against Iraq started this current anti America/hate America/kill Americans back in 1970 when no balls Carter was playing like a president!

Erase these murdering thugs and let the good Iranians who fled from Iran return and restore democracy instead of a bunch of Islamic Nazi Fundamentalists.

Make these murdering thugs the first target in the next round of ridding the world of the Islamic garbage leaders. Take them out, bag them and place them on the curb for garbage pickup. It should take about 5-10 hours. There will be such a massive uprising when the head thugs disappear in a big bang. It will be quick, brutal and close to 3 decades of these thugs will be cleansed by the Iranians with a little help for us!
