Iran: Nation Of Bloggers...
Nice video, by way of Sully: http://vimeo.com/2232226 - reminds one that we might want to do something other than obliterate them.

1. The nuke option is on the table...if they nuke first.. Sorry, that's even how Feingold
feels about it. So it isn't just HRC.

6. Israel is about 1,000 times likelier to start a nuclear war than Iran.
Or is your confused list the start of an attempt to argue that Iran will ever hit Israel with a nuke, or that this would be the same as a nuclear attack on the United States?

5. What nonsense are you believing here?
The only state that would nuke anyone first (and actually has) is the USA. Obviously any state that attacked the US would be hit in retaliation, this absurd idea is brought up with regard to Iran only as baseless and unscrupulous fear propaganda.

10. Well you gotta call Feingold on that whole thing. I'm just posting what he said. The OP
Edited on Sat Nov-29-08 06:25 PM by xultar
is posting an obvious dig @ HRC. I'm just reminding the OP that liberal favorites such as Feingold also keep the nuke option on the table.

That's all. Jeez.

7. Why do we have to respond with Nukes?
Why can't we just "obliterate them" the old fashioned way?

16. Majidi isn't the director of the clip you posted, Majidi directs full-length award winning
films. The title of your post is "Iran is a nation of bloggers" and I just wanted to ad that Iran is also the nation of Majid Majidi. I've felt a positive connection to Iran since seeing his films a few years ago.

18. Me neither - Apparently they have a lot to talk about that they can't in other venues...
Good things to know.
