Why the neo-cons are right about Iran and should invade it as soon as possible.
Edited on Sat Feb-10-07 05:18 PM by originalpckelly
Now that I have your attention, I would like to ask one question:

What about Pakistan?

In Pakistan, we have a country that has supported terrorism and the Taliban through the ISI. It already has nuclear weapons, and threatens the world's largest democracy with them. Its leader came to power in a military coup, and he is allied with a pro-Taliban party. Osama Bin Laden, if he is indeed still alive, is thought to be hiding in the Waziristan region. Throughout Pakistan there have been numerous arrests of al-Qaeda members, suggesting a high level of support for al-Qaeda in the local populace.

If the scenario where terrorists get nukes from a state is practical and real, isn't Pakistan a greater threat than Iran?

Why is there all of this discussion about Iran? You neo-cons need to stop, our soldiers have enough problems without you fuckers starting another war.

As Robert Heinlein has said, "An armed society is a polite society."
:sarcasm: sort of.

2. Personally, although I am a Pacifist, Saudi Arabia? Many 9/11 hijackers
were from Saudi Arabia and supposedly, Saudis are funding the Sunni insurgents in Iraq.

8. The neocons themselves should have to go out and fight
as well as their families. That would make them pause before deciding war is such a wonderful thing.

10. Actually, when I wrote the OP, I was kind of thinking of making it a joke...
as in, they are right about Iran and they should invade it.
