nytimes.com — Vice President Dick Cheney used the setting of an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf to deliver a stern message to Iran today, warning that the United States would not allow Iran to obtain nuclear weapons or gain the upper hand in the Middle East.

@swrostmore: M.A.D. doesn't work when Iran is the #1 supporter of international terrorism according to, well, every intelligence agency worth its salt.

It's time to stop being politically correct and start stomping Iran's butt.Maybe a few tact nukes along the borders to Iraq and Afghanistan will keep these bastards from supplying arms and explosives that are killing our troops.I'm tired of playing nice with these sumbitches.

This has gone too far. We are now heading headlong into war with a middle-eastern muslim nation because we believe they are trying to develop weapons of mass destruction? Hmm, all sounds so familiar. How do these actions of intimidation help us? They just alienate the Iranian people even more, and make it harder for us to negotiate diplomatically with them. We need to stop trying to globally demonize countries because we don't agree with some of their beliefs. Yes, the Iranian govt is enriching uranium, but the difference in resources and effort between enriching for power and for weapons grade is incredibly vast, and Iran has a right to enrich uranium for energy generation, same as the US and rest of the world. Maybe if we actually started treating other nations with respect instead of trying to bully them around all the time, we wouldn't have to resort to stand offs like this. End rant.

@p0s3r "WHEN HAS IRAN THREATENED ANYONE?...And no I do not count 'Wipe Israel off the map'".Does the prior war they had with Iraq count? Or how about this:"Iran Threatens 'Harm and Pain' to United States"<a class="user" href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5252301">http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5252301</a>

Which do you think is worse - cutting out someone's tongue or denying habeas corpus for everyone?Which do you think adds up to the most disruption of liberty when taken as a whole?Think hard.

Are you for real? Wow. (First of all, the U.S. isn't doing EITHER of those things. Second of all... you seriously think cutting off the tongues and torturing dissidents, AND THEIR FAMILIES!, isn't something to be more concerned about? You have lost it, my friend.)

All Dudes who did not work in the WTCs, or the Pentagram. Just remember if it is true this time, and Iraq was just to harden and train the troops. If it would come true that the Divine Mullah Gods of Iran, the "Ayatollas of Rockin Rollas", the one and only "true followers" of the only true god, Allah! (Your god sucks if ain't Allah, Dudes!), then prepare yourselves to be "violated, girly men"! Because if a 20 megaton dildo bomb goes off in your backyard (within a 200 mile radius - all dead - radiation poisoning and cancer), all pinko girly men, and dudettes won't have to worry about what you thought about "dick" Cheney cause you dick will be fallen off!
