Tom Toles for February 12, 2010

after surrounding iran for 30 years w/troops, foxnoose and Hillary say: go to war and show yr not a wimp, (she’s bin working for months to provoke a war).

I don’t get what the problem is.

We don’t want Iran to be enriching Plutonium.

We’ve armed Israel to the teeth.

Israel has already bombed Iran in the past.

So…what are we fretting about. All we need to do is get out of the way, and the problem will be resolved.

I cannot imagine Iran being so imbecilic as to mess with Israel…Israel’s military, secret service, even their airline is bad to the bone. Maybe Iran’s “rulers” are delusional enough to try. Ouch. Remember the cell phone kaboom retribution moment? The entire nation of Iran will be “caller waiting” should they kick the Hebrew’s hornet nest!

And they will know we are Christians by our LOVE!

Amen.

Look at this way: When they blow each other back to the stone age the religious right can move over to the holy land and get the h3ll out of our lives.

^ and pass the ham.

Flick his cup. Dibbs on the right cup .

Persia just wants to be a major world power, like they haven’t been for centuries (millinia?). If they’d drop the Aryan bleeep & clean out the madrassas we could trust them with the bomb.

The GOP plan is better. They do have a plan don’t they? Be nice to know what it is. Iran isn’t worried about us because they know that (GOP or DEMS) we are tied up in the two wars Bush started.

Iran has no lock on looney politicians. WE want more nuclear power plants at home, and have promoted giving them to small countries around the world.

Exactly why does Iran having a power grid, and letting Europe, or Russia even- remove any “weapons grade” material, as has been offered several times- make the refinement of reactor grade material constitute a problem?

Hmmmm, speaking of looney politicians.

fennec – interesting links. What do you make of them? It’s hard to make predictions from far away about what another society is going to do, and many of those making predictions have a stake in the outcome, a stake which may color their predictions. I wish I could believe that a democratic Iran would be willing to give up the bomb. I haven’t noticed that the democratic countries which now have the bomb have been very willing to give it up. This is a tough situation, and I can’t say I have any advice to give Mr. Obama. But I hope you’re right that they aren’t finding the enrichment process so easy. Again, it’s hard to know. I have doubts that the Israelis could take out the facilities – I’m sure the Iranians have hardened everything that really matters.

As soon as the US stops supporting Israel, it will be wiped out.

But it can’t afford to support it forever.

I’m fear my own words, here. But I see that the jews will suffer yet another bloodbath in their long history, unless they learn to coexist wih their neighbors.

Someday, we’ll need to take bronze-age beliefs and the Bible out of our politics and be pragmatic.

If you stop and think about the near future, well it doesn’t give much hope.

Here in America you get people to turn out at public meetings to shout down does who are trying to explain health care by just telling them that the DEMS want to kill grandma, and Obama want to make them socialist. And this is in one of the best educated countries in the world!

Those who want to spread hate have an easy time doing it.

To spread hate is easy and takes only a few. To spread understanding and hope is hard and takes the work of many.

Millions will probably die before enought of us get together and say ENOUGH.

nd we need not to encourage the Israeli elements who want war. It will hurt all of the jews in the long run.
