What is all this about bombing Iran, the mountaines and all the rest.
What do you know about Iran. If there are 70 million Iranians living in Iran, at least one percent of them are poets and writers. That is about 700,000 Iranians(again this is minimum). Do you intend to kill them?
There are at least 10 million Iranians studying all over the country. Do you intend to kill all those sudents?
All the world knows that there are many excellent medical doctors working in Iran. Do you intend to kill them?
At least 70 percent of Iranians living in Iran pray God 5 times a day. They believe that is the God of Abraham, the Jews and Christians. They respect the Jews and the Christians. The rest of Iranians may not pray 5 times a day but most of them are kind and love other human beings. Do you intend to kill them?
Who has given us the right to bomb others? God, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Socrates,Plato,Aristotle?Who?

I guess Israel is happy, and so am I that Fallon is gone. Iran has always been a disturbing for its support to Iraq insugents, especially EFP flowing from Iran. Attacking these EFP building sites as well as stockpiles of weapons is very meaningful to stop the flow of weapons from Iran into Iraq. Fallon was one of the obstacles for options to attack these elements. There is no guarantee that it will happen, but at least one obstacle has been removed to choose the option to attack sites in Iran supporting the insurgents in Iraq.

May you spare the lives of Kurdish seperatists in Iran? Let’s hope the Arab, Azeri, and Baluchi seperatists would do us a favor as well. I also guess there might be something better than thermobaric bombs for certain cases.

Is this precise & to the point enough?
“Sharon’s in a coma & Olmert doesn’t have the balls to defend his own nation or people.We don’t owe them shit & we shouldn’t bomb Iran on their behalf.“
We should only bomb Iran when Olmert finally “grows a pair”(which ranks up there with “when pigs fly” or “And monkeys might fly out of my ass”).

Not to split hairs, but the kaiser had only indirect influence in the middle east, it was the Ottoman empire the brits & french divided.
Anyways, Fallon did what he did & said what he said and sometimes things can just be taken at face value. Perhaps his resolve was strengthened by the decsions of generals before him, some of whom waited too long for their own consciences

Don’t forget that Bush promised Israel(Sharon) that he would attack Iran before he was out of office. I’m guessing we’re getting very close to the date of the attack and the admin is getting rid of the nay-sayers.

Anna,
Good points, when I say dividing up the region I realize that we had no involvement in the original divvying up but we did have involvement post WWII (Israel) and we are in fact planting the seeds for future instability (see Kurds).
Iran denying the Holocaust only makes them look delusional and ill informed in everyones eyes. Conflict strengthens the hard liners in Iran, rapproachment and engagement will threaten their hold on power.
With regards to Lenin, he is buried along with his dead idealogies.…
