I respect your courage to fight for what you believe in Randall.

As for a war with Iran, I don't see the logic. Granted, the neo-cons have their vision of an american controlled middle east, but here they are clearly out of touch with reality. It all reminds me of Hitlers decision to attack Poland, thinking the allies wouldn't have the balls to respond.

And what's the goal really? The administration has clearly showed that morals is limited to Fleischers mouth, so it's not about protecting the world from nuclear missiles. And even if it were, an operation not involving ground troops would have a high uncertainty as to actually dismantling their program. You don't risk war with Russia if you can't even be sure to reach your objective. Ground troops and occupation will have to be applied if anything meaningful is to come out of it. The military forces are strechted out enough already, so an invasion would require either a draft or the rerouting of forces stationed elsewhere. So it's either risking positions abroad or at home, and for what? So that they get one step closer to a neo-utopian vision that's already falling apart by destroying a nation with no real significance to US security?

Luckily there seems to be minds of reason in military and intelligence circles who's trying to avoid such a scenario.

Then again, if Iran doesn't abandon their program, and I don't think they will, how is the US going to avoid an incredibly embarrassing defiance like that without taking action? There's a lot of prestige invested. The situation is closely resembling a clusterfuck where all options will lead to war.

What happened to the world we had in 1991?

Always sad when people go that early.

That being sad, there are few men I have less respect for while he was alive. A paid liar.

They are.

Looking forward to Monday.

I'm glad I'm not a fan of this band. Must be painful. What I saw on stage some weeks ago was way over the hill. How can Master Of Puppets sound so stale?
