    I guess letting them strike first is a viable option if you're willing to gamble you or someone you love won't be one of their victims.

    And how do you propose we "contain" them, Ken?

    "Americans are the great Satan, the wounded snake."

    Would not they get this idea from the Baptist press and the Christian Right who complain about the satanic "values" of the rest of America?

    The same way we did the old Soviet Union.

    Do you have a better practical solution, LE?

    Sorry, carpro, but I bought the neocons' snake oil back in 2003. I'll not do so this time without ironclad evidence. Remember the old saying - Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    If we had to attack somebody in the Middle East I wish we had attacked the right country, the one that might actually pose a threat to our national security.

    I don't believe that is a good correlation.

    I'm not at all sure they subscribe to the theory of mutually assured destruction. Their tool will be the indetectable small group that sneaks across our porous border and sets off the big one in Los Angeles. There's a good chance we won't even be able to prove they did it.

    They are religious fanatics. The Soviets were Godless, but far from fanatic.

    If the Iranians do build a nuclear weapon in the next ten years or so it had better be a good correlation since, in that case, it would be the only viable, practical solution.

    The Iranian government does not have the same restraints which held America and Russia to the MAD standoff.

    You're right about that, if oil were to be fully cut off, but I don't see that happening for very long, if we go in with great force.

    Well, if you support an evil regime, you are part of the problem. War is hell.

    That is not a solution. Negotiations with these people is total folly. It has never worked before and the evilness of these people is worsening all the time. We must take out their ability to wage war with nuclear weapons. Anything short of that, is misguided and WILL result in the most evil people on earth acquiring nuclear weapons, with absolutely no restrains on their use. And we're not that far off.

    Let them come to us to kill us, let's not go to them. In fact, let's bring ALL our boys home and let them get real jobs until someone comes over here to kill us.

    I believe that about 30% of Americans do not believe there is anything worth fighting...

    especially when there are others to fight for them.
