Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran President, Slams Homosexuality As An 'Ugly Behavior'

40. Your point being???

This is very weird, reading this stuff on DU. What is the point of this? You cannot seriously be suggesting that the US declare WAR on Iran because they have a 14th century mentality on homosexuality? OK, say we did, and we won - I don't think they're gonna miraculously see the light about homosexuality when every Muslim extremist nutjob goes right on spouting hate about it. Did we 'fix' Iraq? Did we 'fix' Afghanistan? Last time I looked, the Taliban is still out there chugging along, just with far less cell phone use...

At this point, it would be nearly impossible to stopper up a country who already has at least some nuclear capability. If they wanted to stop it, they should have stopped it before the first nuclear facility went on-line. Pakistan has had nuclear bombs for quite a few years now. Their government is not stable, has not been for a long time. There's a hard-core element there that hates us, hates Israel. The only thing different is they're not saying 'Israel must be eliminated' every other day...for years.

This beating the drum rhetoric - homosexuality, threatening Israel, threat of nuclear bomb capability - sounds an awwwwfffullll lot like, 'We don't want the confirmation of our suspicions to be a mushroom cloud.' Granted, at least here there is solid evidence of nuclear material being present in the country, and I haven't even heard nary a mention of 'yellowcake from Niger' or 'WMD's! But the systematic demonization is the same. Iran is a sovereign country with very different ideas and a very different way of life that does not kowtow to us or Israel. I, for one, hope it stays that way. I hope they're not stupid enough to think there would be no retaliation for the destruction of an entire country in the name of holy bigotry.
