Gravitymaster 0 #1 March 28, 2011 QuoteNew evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi--or Islamic messiah--is about to appear. CBN News has obtained a never-before-seen video produced by the Iranian regime that says all the signs are moving into place -- and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times.

jimbrown 0 #2 March 28, 2011 It is the Right of all men to have arms. This Right shall not be infringed .(2nd ammendment USof A Constitution) By extension it is the Right of groups of Men to keep arms. My question to you is what authority does any group of Men have over any other group of Men? Where does one group get some moral superiority as to decide what the other should be "allowed" ? How would you propose this "morally superior "group impose its' will ? Through violence ,threats of violence, by economic sanctions which will cause the poorest of that nation to suffer horribly? Yes every Man and every group of Men have the Right to nucleur weapons . The 2nd ammendment clearly identifies that Right. Peace , Jim B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ban religion, then we won't need weapons or war. Religion is the root of all evil in the world. Until we throw down these silly irrational beliefs from ancient times we will always have strife and violence amongst ourselves. In the mean time we have to protect ourselves from these loonies that want the world to end. End of times believers are the biggest threat to humanity.Onward and Upward!

billvon 2,435 #6 March 28, 2011 >What aggression has the US ever shown towards Iran? Well, to start off with, our support of the coup in 1953. (Google Operation Ajax for more info.) That's what led to the violently anti-US sentiments of the 1960's and 1970's, and the eventual revolution in 1979. Perhaps a good lesson in terms of what's happening in Libya right now. Then of course we pounded the crap out of them in 1988. Destroyed a bunch of Iranian ships and aircraft, including a commercial airliner full of civilians.

But other than interfering with their domestic affairs, subverting democracy, undeclared acts of war, and shooting down civilian aircraft, what has the US ever done to them? NOTHING, that's what!

SStewart 13 #8 March 28, 2011 QuoteQuoteYes, to prevent any aggression from the USA and therefore to protect its own people.... As simple as that.... What aggression has the US ever shown towards Iran? Well, we attacked the country right next door to Iran with naked unprovoked aggression. They probably think they might be next and want to defend themselves. Wouldn't you be concerned if a huge military super power took over Canada and had a huge arsenal on the other side of the border? How would you feel if the US was surrounded by Iranian battleships and aircraft carriers? To answer the original question, no I do not want Iran to have nukes, I don't want us to have them either, I think we should knock it off and play nice.Onward and Upward!

Great, now let's see if you can do as well with describing the aggression Iran has shown towards the US. While you are pondering that, how about taking a stab at the poll question? Or do you think a doomsday cult like Islam should be allowed to develop nuclear weapons? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only one country, ever, has used nuclear weapons against civilians. Killed around 350,000 people pretty horribly. Do you know which country it was? (Hint - it wasn't a Muslim country.)

Darius11 12 #16 March 29, 2011 No What makes us human and not a computer is the ability to understand when to act and why. Iraq bad move Libya i am so proud to be an American. Our action saved lives and we didn't have to do it. the right thing done the right way. its not always about $$$ its about what we stand for, who we are. Iran is not democracy. Our previous interference "the mosadegh government" was to preserve our hold on oil. That doesn't make ever military action invalid and selfish. like any thing we have great things we have done and bad things we have done. Interfering with a truly popular government that the people had wanted sense ancient Persia.... bad. Fucking over a psycho like Ahmadinejad who will do anything to hold on to power.... good.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I'm serious. Ahmadinejad's belief in the return of the 12th Imam isn't anything new. Just google it and there will be many sources you will find acceptable including the BBC and PBS who have carried news reports on this. I should ask you if you are seriously unaware of this.
