I vote beheadings.

Shhh...must not talk about Iran.

Hmmm. This means we'd better drop bombs on their country and kill thousands of their people.

Goodfella:Hmmm. This means we'd better drop bombs on their country and kill thousands of their people.

Nah, they kill enough of their own people.

Oh my sweet Mahmoud, jihad me at blogtacular-death.

Shooped for your saftey

I would be really surprised if we used any military force in Iran anytime soon. Everyone knows the Iranian population isn't as anti-west as thier government and we're still mopping up Iraq - with troops stationed in Iraqi Bases, our imediate strategic needs are met. Iran would have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was weeks away from Nuclear Armament before we attacked them. We'll bluster and saber rattle, and I'm sure Achmadinjad is a little peeved about our growing influence with Iraq, so he's just trying to make some waves and bluster himself.

The wildcard imho is Isreal but I Think we'll be able to put enough preasure on her to keep her from any overt military action as well.

I pretty much agree. I don't see any military action against Iran anytime soon.

I would just add some caution to the "the people are pro-West" line of thinking as it can quickly slide into "they will greet us as liberators" line of thinking.

You sound like an expert in the field of retardation.

it's times like this that i wished i spoke farsi so i could start a nice wholesome porn/political blog for our testy iranian pals.
the funniest thing though, every iranian that i've ever known who actually has gotten away from that country's nutbar government have been real nice fun people. go figure.

To be fair, I have only stoned and flogged 3 bloggers this week. It's somewhat theraputic. My God is an angry, vengeful God of fury and fire and anti blogging and stuff.

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.

I was wondering what happened there. For what it's worth, I think we will eventually be considered "Liberators" by the Iraqi people; many years from now after the country has stabalized.

That's definatly a positive sign as well as the latest success with Operation Lion's Roar; and let's not forget the tech contracts our companies recieved. All are good signs for a recovering Iraq. To be honest I see this as a little more diplomatic weight with Iran.

I don't for one instance think that the Iranians look at us as saints, but I don't think they hold the hatred that the radicals and the leaders do. I'm guessing that once Iraq starts to take off and the Iraqi people start seeing revenue from thier oil fields, the Iranians are going to be looking towards Achmidnijad and demanding "WTF?!"

That's a long term goal though and a lot can happen with the situation still volitile; I just think there's less chance of overt action than alot of people think. Nobody's ready for another war, not even Bush imho.

Swampthing in Korea:Again.

There's a big difference between "Islam" and "Radical Islam", that's the distinction you need to remember. This isn't a holy war against Islam - it's more of an Middle East\West thing with religeous overtones. The downside to religeion is that in the wrong hands it can be used for much evil.

In case people didn't click on the link, I think one of the paramount paragraphs is.

Women have something to add to this. A former colleague of mine at the University of Baghdad, who now lives with her family in Abu Dhabi, told me that she was stunned by the optimism of her fellow Iraqis when she went to support the Iraqi soccer team in a World Cup qualifier match against Australia in Dubai. "They were of every color in the Iraqi rainbow, but you can speak of two common things among them: telling you about their plans to go home within months and considering the Americans to be partners in that home they are returning to."

I admit, I may be idealistic, but that really makes me believe it's possible.

And the difference is....

Ah Iran. So much news coverage, so little matter to the United States. Enjoy eating Israel's propaganda -- here's hoping we don't fight their war.

Get back to rimjobbing the Saudi's for oil -- they cut off people's heads for less than 'corrupt blogging'.

Propaganda can be true, and still be propaganda. Hitler made quite a bit of hay from our segregated society -- doesn't mean he was the good guy.

With all the evil little countries in the world, a fairly moderate theocracy gets an awful lot of news doesn't it?

They are soccer players. If they are good at anything, it's faking it.

The best cure for radical Islam is even more radical Islam.

More & more of this repressing women & beheading people for protesting, and the youth of Iran will have no choice but to rise up against its government.

Oddly, I thought the exact same thing about Iraq.

Run all the anti-Iran propaganda you want, we're not going to do a damned thing about it. Iran is a major oil producing nation and in a position to make the Straight of Hormuz impassable which would majorly fark up the worlds energy supply. China and India aren't going to be so happy with us farking with their oil supply and we've come to depend on them for our manufacturing and IT services.

So have your two minute hate for Iran but just remember who it was who overthrew their democratically elected leader and installed the Shah. Our middle eastern policy is a massive exercise in punching ourselves in the crotch, but by all means, keep at it.

Hibno:If they are good at anything, it's faking it.

I used to date an Iranian girl and I can absolutely attest to this.

I know a couple of young Iranians. They hate their government, want to modernize, claim that the youth of Iran is just waiting for the old, conservative asshats to die off so they can open the country up, and swear that their views are generally representative of the majority of Iranians under 30.

Rather than flaming you, could I just respectfully disagree? Or at least pose the question: How much longer? How many more dollars (we have to borrow)? How many more American lives before you finally concede that it's broken and we can't fix it?
You see, "Iraq" will never be a stable, peaceful nation. That's because it is not,actually, a nation at all. It is an imperialist, colonialist fiction created by the British to punish the Ottomans for taking the wrong side in WWI. It is three nations of people who loathe one another, and have for centuries. They will NEVER live together peacefully under a single flag. And until and unless that one glaring, trumpeting elephant in the living room is addressed, there is no hope for peace or stability there - no matter what the sterling efforts of our men and women in uniform.
It's time to cut our losses and let these people work it out themselves - they are, after all, grownups.
You are entitled to your opinion, but this American has had it with my country being perpetually cast in the role of cop and nanny to an ungrateful and undeserving world - and I will cast my votes, make my campaign contributions, and disseminate my views accordingly.
"I sincerely join... in abjuring all political connection with every foreign power; and though I cordially wish well to the progress of liberty in all nations, and would forever give it the weight of our countenance, yet they are not to be touched without contamination from their other bad principles. Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Lomax, 1799. ME 10:124

Oh my god, how long is that pile of crap gonna steam?

How many people there were even alive when that happened? How many even remember the Shah? Do you honestly think those nutjobs in charge now wouldn't have found some other excuse to seize power and start the mass executions?
