Of course, it's hard to take seriously a poster who uses a mostly toothless feral man / bum as his avatar.

RM:  I wouldn't expect you pay attention and understand the danger in dealing with countries like Iran as doing so has nothing to do with separating paper from plastic or making compost.

Just as much as I wouldn't expect an "intellectual" property attorney to actually understand middle east politics as it has nothing to do with widgets and geegaws.

I'd love to hear your take Mr. Kissinger, or should I say Mr. Chamberlain...

I am actually more concerned about the crime down the street rather than the entrapments taking place with Iran. Read "Concealed Carry Laws Are Arming Criminals"

A bunch of Monday morning bs here with regards to diplomacy. Diplomacy was the preferred approach with the Russians as their pilots bombed us in Korea and with the Chinese whose pilots bombed us in Nam. In both cases we never went after them. Instead we continued to utilize the channels of a civilized world.

The Taliban is a zit. Had we not gone in Iraq, they'd be eradicated by now. Of course, there will always continue to exist factions of Muslims that don't like us. But for most of you on this thread fear and paranoia governs your war mongering thoughts while you really do not see that Iran is a civilized country.

Dark Clouds Gather on the Distant Horizon: The World Awaits George W. Bush's Attack on Iran
A. Alexander, February 1st, 2007

"Maybe John Negroponte, the onetime Iran-Contra conspirator, had developed something resembling a conscience late in life and wouldn't play ball with the President? Anything is possible, but what is certain is the fact that since both Mister Negroponte's announced departure from intelligence and the President having revealed his new Iran-confronting Iraq War Escalation Plan; the Iran-related intelligence reports have been as bizarre as they have been ominous."

"Dark clouds gather on the distant horizon - their presence trumpets the undeniable reality that something sinister is coming this way. As the light of truth and reality fades from the nation's political consciousness, between the flashes of lies and deceit is seen the foreboding outline of vultures awaiting tragedy and their chance to feast on the death it is certain to deliver. And so it is - all of humanity has paused, marking time until George W. Bush and Dick Cheney order the U.S. military to attack Iran...an act that will ignite the entire Middle East.

If not the world!

Now that's profound!Read it....

I'm sure that whatever Dingus Mcgee is writing is awful profound, and contains no links to another Dingus' website, but I can't tell you how wonderful it is not to have to read his posts anymore.  It's like a breath of fresh air.

Wow.

Do you folks realize how silly you look calling each other names and deprecating each others careers? Its good for a laugh I guess but honestly it could easily be replaced with straighforward discussion. Its almost like watching whats going on over there, without the car bombs of course.

MDunn has a great perspective. After seeing the truck bomb yesterday that killed 120, and counting, I am about to have a sea change in my viewpoint. Yes, without doubt, it was a mistake to go in and yes, Bushkin & Co. made every mistake imaginable including some we learned back during Nam. No nobel prize for his regime. But intelligence now shows probably 5 different wars going on over there.

We are the foreign substance in a civil war. Other civil wars in history were usually not aided by foreign troops. We stayed out of the Bolshevik revolution, we stayed out of the French Revolution too. Refer especially to ours and you see Europe standing by ready to work with the winners and smart enough to not care which one won.

But we didn't play the smart card which would have been to go after AlQeuda in Afghanistan and stay after his group till they expired or were diluted. No we had to be the cop and go whip a little capitalist democracy on Iraq by personalizing its problems and going for the "simple" solution. Now we are in the middle of a full blown tragic bloodfest.

It may be time to set aside such childish namecalling behaviour and encourage the Iraqi's to stand and deliver. We were losing our war for independence till Washington crossed the Potomac and delivered a strategic blow. We will accomplish nothing until our troops are given what they need in supplies, numbers and resolve. Resolved: 1. Pull all non-combatant Halliburton type reconstruction operations out of the country, pick a side, and fight the damn war or 2. Pull all Americans out and let the country revert to middle ages civilization.

We have a better chance of normalcy with the former than the latter. More likely the latter will be easier and more politically possible. We made a huge mistake. Either eat a lot of crow or fix the mistake. Bush is the decider de-facto because the system is too clumsy and slow to stop a determined CEO. Lets face the facts and deal with that too. Even impeachement would take a year or more. Am I just crazy or does it all come down to the last two paragraphs?

I've never been fearful of truth telling. "honest to the point of wrecklessness" , that's the axman. Only about %1 of yours truly posts are deadicated towards making fun. And that's what it is that makes this forum so tribal.

I will continue to rant and rage against the tyranny of the Busheviks and those that defend their utter incompetence.
