    As usual, Ramirez made beautiful artwork. And “Dr. Strangelove” is one of my favorite movies. But how much the hodgepodge of ideas conflict with each other. Major Kong was a sympathetic character. Who would be General Ripper? Wouldn’t Obama better play as President Muffley? An Iranian leader (or Putin) as Premier Kissoff? And who as General Turgidson? (Love those names!) And where would Precious Bodily Fluids fit in? The Doomsday Machine?.I think Ramirez fell in love with the concept, but should have formed it all better. In this case, a thousand-word parody would have been better than this one picture. Or at least multiple panels. I’m probably over-thinking this..But there always seems to be an irritating disconnect between Rameriz’s art and his background message. He almost always preaches to the choir, his conservative base. It’s tiresome to me. Still, I respect his work enough to make what I think are constructive comments.

    i’d take that statement with a grain of salt. if iran is such a threat then why did we get rid of our buddy who kept them in cheque?

    Seem to me, if Iran DID get the bomb, (or claimed they had one) they would have less worry of attack from other nations (USofA)

    I just cannot figure out wht the US is involved with nuclear power control anyway. The only country to ever use THE BOMB in hostility, and against non-military targets to boot. Wonder how Israel’s secret nuclear program is doing these days?

    Back on Zimmerman-? July 9, 2013, two people posted about the racism on the Left and Blacks, over the Trayvon killing. Plus most Blacks say that Blacks are more racist than Whites. Incidentally, how did Zimmerman become white? Is that, the Ol’ Black Magic? We’ve heard about?

    Also, AL, the short fat Black Sharpton lied about Twanna Brawley and his whipped up mob killing a Jewish store owner and burning down his store. But to Libs, that is a Ho Hum! Or white Blond, "What difference does it make????

    So, I am lead to ask——- Which is worse? To Call Obama andObama Care a Lieing “N” Word -— or foisting the “N” word lying Obama Care Train Wreck" on the American People??????????? The Train Wreck obviously hurts the most people, economy,lives, jobs and health of individuals! But watch the Libs and Democrat liars deny that.

    Or as they say, read a Lib’s Lips.

    Why does Obama never have to say, I’m sorry—- unless it is because he is sorry, that the citizens are offended at him?For the Libs—— it is that Emperor Obama is sorry they are angry at him. Not him for his train wreck!

    We insist WE have to have more nuclear power, but Iran can’t have any? (not bombs, folks, electrical generation so they can sell US their oil) So they can’t have ANY nuclear program? That’s just stupid.

    A look at a map will also tell anyone with an I.Q. over 6 that even WITH a nuclear bomb, Iran would be stupid to deliver one to Israel, which is UPwind from them, and they’d catch the fallout. Besides, even a “tactical” nuke is nothing but a scare tactic propagated by the west, and the “Cold War” idiocy. Maybe if Iran had a “MAD” program to match Israel, Natanyahu might stop expanding illegal settlements and threatening to blow the world up? (That of course would upset the hypo-Christians in the US convinced the “rapture” is coming and we have to convert all those Jews so Jesus can finally catch a bus. Which, speaking of nut groups, how about those “converters of Jews” “W” is talking to as their principal speaker this week?)

    Nuclear weapons don’t kill people, people kill people.

    no, we are responsible for our dead compatriots in iraq. both parties said that we needed to invade iraq even though they had nothing to do with 11 sept. you can blame iran all you want but we had no business going in there in the first place. notice i did not blame just the republicans. many democrats went along with the nonsense as well…in fact the whole reason hillary lost the nomination to obama was because of her vote in favour of the misadventure in iraq. also noticed that i disagreed with you without insulting you. try it next time.

    “But putting this aside, what, in your mind, gives Iran the right to arm Iraqi insurgents?”What gives any country the right to arm insurgents? Give us that answer and you may have answered yourself.
