- reeder, on 10/10/2007, -10/+87Great, we have 2 children measuring dicks on the playground. The rest of the world just wants idiot pricks like Bush and Ahmadinejad to jump out of a tall building do we can live our lives in peace.
- firstprimate, on 10/18/2007, -36/+94If you believe any of the following statements are true then you are a brainwashed idiot and probably American:-
1. Iran is run by an unstable government
2. Iran has violated treaties it has signed
3. Iran has attacked another country
4. Iran has threatened to attack another country
5. Iran is building nuclear weapons
6. Iran has threatened to use nuclear weapons against another country, even non-nuclear countries
7. Iran is a threat to world peace
If you substitute America for Iran in the above and believe any of the statements are false then you are a brainwashed idiot and probably American. - JEAH, on 10/10/2007, -6/+47"Ahmedinejad openly refers to the United States as "The Great Satan". He's nuts."
Bush openly refers to Iran as one of "The Axis of Evil"
Kinda sounds like both of these guys are ***** pieces of *****. - kooft, on 10/18/2007, -7/+47Well, they did sign a treaty (NPT) with the US that allows them to develop nuclear technology. If they're submitting to the inspection clauses of the treaty shouldn't they be allowed to develop nuclear technology? If nuclear energy is so pointless, then why does the US have 100+ reactors?
- swrostmore, on 10/18/2007, -2/+35The IAEA's official position is that Iran's nuclear program is being used for power plants. The UN's official position is that Iran has the right to do what they are doing under international law.
- carpespasm, on 10/18/2007, -7/+35ok, someone please clear this up for me. Iran's official position is that they are still only making this nuclear material for powerplant use, correct? It's not like they've put out a sign saying "Coming Soon: Iranian nuclear missile control center" anywhere right?
- inactive, on 10/18/2007, -6/+28Whilst the decider is completly sane... remember that his adminstration has said that nuking Iran is on the table.
- Ajajadude, on 10/18/2007, -10/+32Oh, and Americans are? We voted in Bush, twice, are we not "nuts"?
- JEAH, on 10/18/2007, -7/+26The blame will lie on the US and its invasion of Iraq and labeling of Iran as part of the "Axis of Evil"
- cryptomystic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21So the only way to have peace is to nuke any country thats trying to make nukes to defend themselves from being nuked from that country who already has nukes but doesn't want anybody else to have nukes but themselves because they believe they are more responsible with those said nukes......see doesn't that make perfect sense?
- jmpeagle, on 10/18/2007, -1/+19no he didn't, the USSR had them, they never gave control of them over to Castro
- MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17@Charlotte
So that's your criteria? The US has been funding terrorism for a lot longer than that. Or have you forgotten who trained and funded the Taliban, Contras, Saddam Hussein, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum. - spyd3rweb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Iran's democratically elected government was overthrown by the CIA in the 50's. Operation Ajax.
- jmpeagle, on 10/18/2007, -4/+18a typical wind turbine only gets 4 MW of power whereas a nuclear power plant will generate 1000+ MW easily. The vast majority of new capacity being created in the U.S. right now is not renewable energy because it is not yet cost efficient compared to other sources such as coal and oil and doesn't add that much to the energy infrastructure.
- OmEgA286, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14wow, you are one racist mother *****.
- Ajajadude, on 10/18/2007, -6/+20How old are you? 16? Notice how capturing Saddam meant jack ***** to anyone fighting us in Iraq? Hell, at HIS execution, he was a bigger man than the rest of the rabble there. It wouldn't be a good thing if that's how it played out again.
- nixonrichard, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16I'm assuming the last "q" you typed was supposed to be an "n"
You make a good point about Iran's neighbors. Everybody thinks this is about the US v. Iran, but it's not. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Egypt, etc. . . . nobody wants Iran to have nukes. If and when it's discovered that Iran is secretly building nukes, all hell fire and brimstone will reign down on them. - SaTaNKiLLeR, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Yes i think you are.
- carpespasm, on 10/18/2007, -1/+12ok, thanks. It's hard to get views other than what you hear on the news sometimes that make the assumption that the only possible use of nuclear materials in iran is for nukes.
- jmpeagle, on 10/18/2007, -2/+12Ironically, a country of such abundant energy natural resources is also the world's second biggest importer of gasoline (after the U.S.), which is why Iran has started gas rationing (of course lifting the price above the 10 cents per gallon or so they charge Iranian citizens isn't helping)
- TehSwat, on 10/10/2007, -8/+18In other news, the sales of bomb shelters have risen 2800%.
- rarson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Nuclear is where it's at right now. The materials are available, the energy production cleaner, and the costs lower than alternative forms. Nuclear is becoming a more highly sought after method of making energy all over the world.
- spyd3rweb, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12peace isnt profitable to the government, and you cant demand sweeping emergency powers either.
- shacknasty, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10A nuclear America is also a threat to world peace and stability.
- cryptomystic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Who cares if he nukes Isreal? when did Isreal become our problem? they are big boys and can handle themselves quite nicely.
For historical reference check out the 7 day war.
Anyway Israel has like thousands nukes so if they needed to they could bomb Iran back to the stone age, what are you so worried about them for when we have so many problems back home to worry about?
turn off your Foxnews sometime and return to the real world.
nobody is nuking anybody but the US ( for historical reference see WW2) - garryw, on 10/10/2007, -6/+15Israel took out the Iraq nuclear program. If they get scared they will take out the Iran program too. They have the means.
- slundal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9If you're lucky you might get to play the real life version of Fallout.
- AUmrysh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9The great myth, that we have an enemy determined to destroy us, is supposed to bring us together as a nation. If you see the world in black and white, or with polar opposites of good and evil, the idea makes sesne, but there is never such a thing. Neo-Con powers, activate!
- AUmrysh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8You listen to Rush Limbaugh don't you? Just a guess here... You also live in the bible belt? It's alright, I do too, I just do my thinking for myself.
- swrostmore, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11you realize Ahmadinejad never said "wipe Israel off the map" don't you? So why put it in quotes?
- AUmrysh, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Holy *****... have you thought through what attacking Iran might cause in the middle east? Have you considered that the Iranians hate their leader as much as we(maybe not you) hate Bush? War won't solve the problem, and justifying war by religion is a very bad thing. Genocide is genocide, no matter who commits it.
- Stormflux, on 10/18/2007, -2/+10We overthrew their government and installed an unpopular one. Then they took it back and also took hostages. You can call Homeland Security on me now...
- JEAH, on 10/18/2007, -2/+10"Pray tell what we did to deserve that insanity."
Ever heard of the Shah of Iran? If not, look it up. I'm not going to waste my time writing up a history lesson for you. - chris9902, on 10/18/2007, -1/+9you can't un-invent something. It was only a matter of time before everyone else in the world worked out how to do it.
- quaxon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9ladies and gentlemen, here you have a fine example of the havoc inbreeding can cause to a brain. this dumb mother ***** wants to bomb a nation he has no idea about to the stone-age, yet fails to see that he himself has not evolved past stone-age mentality. 5 bucks this guy grows up to molest children.
- quaxon, on 10/18/2007, -2/+9you got it a little bit wrong, it was actually irans previous, pro-west, president that held his hand out to bush and asked for diplomatic relations and was told to ***** off, which created the climate for ahmedinejad to become president. read a little something, america is usually always in the wrong
- SirZRX, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9U just wont my "the dumbest commentary of they day award", how about if we nuke a country that invades some other countrys for oil!
- atheinostic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Iran gave massive amounts of funding, weapons and training to Al Qaeda in the 1980s. They also sold Saddam Hussein chemical weapons, knowing full well he was going to use them on Iraqi dissidents. They've also been supporting right-wing dictatorships all over the world, even helping them to overthrow democratically-elected governments that were too socialist for their likes. Additionally, Iran currently holds the largest stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons in the world. The government refuses to destroy them or even state that use of weapons of mass destruction are "off the table" in future military conflicts.
Oops, that was the U.S. My bad. Never mind all that, the Iranians are evil and want to destroy our freedoms by aiding terrorists. We have to stop them before they attack democracy or support terrorists! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Hey, stupid racist, Iran doesn't have a nuclear arenal. Are all right wing loonies as stupid as you?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8"We'll rewind them back to the Stone Age soon," he said, as he sipped his Diet Coke and munched thoughtfully on Cheetos in his comfortable chair.
- jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6please tell me you replied to wrong post because your graph proved my point....as of 2005 there is a TOTAL of 60,000 MWs of electricity in the ENTIRE world. The world supply of electricity as of 2004 is about 1,864,155 MWs converted from 16,330,000,000,000 kWh https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2042rank.html . With world enegy consumption increasing at about 4% a year, that is about 75000 MWs of new power each year, which means the sum total of all renewables currently producing energy is not even equivalent to one year of added capacity.
An easier example is this graph http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/FTPROOT/presentations/ieo2000/sld002.htm Add all non-renewables together and look how much steeper that would be than renewables. Oil alone is steeper than renewables mean more ADDITIONAL energy capacity is being created from oil than ALL renewables put together.
Take an Environmental Science class some time, you might learn something. - MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9It'd be a hell of a lot closer.
Throw Putin and Jintao and Jiabao into the mix and we'll be even closer yet. - AUmrysh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5The logic is that we should have them, because we are us... they shouldn't, because they are not us.
Mutually Assured Destruction is going to be one hell of a fireworks display, too bad we won't be around to see much of it. - quaxon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6ironically americans have been exponentially rewinding backwards into stone-age territory since ronald reagan and the moral majority hi-jacked this country.
- VermiciousKnid, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5A little saying comes to mind:
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." - BESTenemy, on 10/18/2007, -4/+9Iran wants to invest oil wealth into nuclear energy, before the black gold runs out. We spend our wealth invading other countries securing whatever's left of oil. Who's insane here?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Sure he said that. It was during the same conversation where Al Gore said "I invented the Internet." Don't you remember?
- quaxon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5well on digg 2+2 does in some cases equal 13, bear with me for a moment you have about 4 neocons on this site as whole, those four collectively have 26 digg accounts so they can digg each other up and post with the different accounts to make it look like they have some support. either that or there are more ignorant brainwashed clowns on this site than i thought.
- kgilbert0, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10So you really think that if Bush and Ahmadinejad were gone, the "rest of the world" would be entirely peaceful?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I'm sorry, but how would my agreeing with your right wing politics change the fact that Iran has no nuclear arsenal?
And frankly, man, I didn't make you spew stupid, racist crap, I simply pointed it out. Don't blame me. -
