World Kerfuffles I and II. (World Kerfuffle III might be a nuclear kerfuffle with Iran or North Korea.)

Kerfuffle, huh? Kind of like saying that kid in Newtown was in a snit.

Kerfuffles are common as muck over here (UK). We have them all the time.

“Iran has no nukes”. So what? You want to wait to see how long it takes them? Or what they do with them? And you seem to think you’re a reasonable person?

too late to mention this, sorry – I was busy today – but could we PLEASE lay off the politics. I don’t read the comics to listen to all your kerfuffles, that’s what the editorial cartoons are for.

The Middle East kerfuffle began when Abraham went in unto Hagar and produced Ishmael. He became the father of the Arabs. And they’re all claiming Israel as THEIR land. But God gave it to the father of the Jewish people: Jacob.

Based on Iran’s Great Satan’s comments, I don’t have a problem with Israel’s nuclear component. Using them without provocation is something else. Iran, however, would choose to use it as a first strike capability. ANYTHING we can do to confine that (Stux-Net included) is better than the alternative. Congrats to Obama for continuing the Bush program. And congrats to the Bush people for finding this alternative to full out war.
