here we go againMar 8th, 2006 - 17:01:50

when will the international community learn that if they speak with one voice then things will get done? same with Iraq, thanks to France, Russia, China, Belgium and Germany there was a war, if everyone sings the same song then Saddam would have gone. Yes, it is that simple. Here we go again with Iran, although I hope that we have learned our lesson...

Saddam, now this fruit cake in Iran try to divide us all... nobody wants a war, never again if possible, not even the US. Nobody wants some loony with nukes either so come on and at least put on a united show in public dumbass politicians and negotiators

Economics of WarMar 8th, 2006 - 17:22:28

Although noble to state the need for global cohesion on this matter, we're really just looking for the correct rationalization for going there. And if we can do it without losing more troops, then we will. Economically, it's a boon. If the cold-war reappears as a luke-warm war, it still helps. If other countries want to sign up to assist, all the better. Regardless the US machine is in motion and the intent is clear. The rest is posturing. Iran's time will come, because it only make sense economically. It's the expansion of our American empire. That being said... and hopefully you caught my sarcasm in it all... look north at our quiet neighbours. Not only do they live in a terrorism free society - they aren't afraid to tackle the issues, as I believe they are leading the Afghanistan deployment right now and providing about half the troops there. Why would they risk bringing the whiplash to their otherwise peaceful area of Norht America? Seems to be principle over gain. I think we, and the rest of the UN council, could learn a thing or two from that.
