You seem to have a blurred recollection of recent history. President Howdy as you refer to him, didn't pull a Kruschev at the UN. He probably should have. You also seem to forget that the UN was up to it's eyeballs in corruption and illegal behavior with the massive Oil for Food scandal with Saddam Hussein. The UN is a massively corrupt organization and Saddam took huge advantage of that corruption. It was a large criminal enterprise until 2003.

Please tell me who is threatening the Iranians with a thousand cruise missiles? Maybe that is a headline running in your head, but it's not running in any newspaper.

The Iranians are the ones doing the threatening. Hardly any time goes by when Mahmoud Hitler isn't openly talking about destroying Israel. He did as recently as last week again.

We would not invade Iran. The terrain alone stops us from doing that. You know that.

Iran is already engaged in covert war with the United States. They are already responsible for killing American soldiers.

No one has ever talked about invading Iran. No one has any plans on engaging them militarily. The only thing it will come down to is someone will attack their nuclear weapons manufacturing facilities and reactor sites. That most likely will happen because the rest of the world is dragging their heels. Namely Russia and China.

Iran is not the same situation as Iraq. Also there are new leaders in some European countries who understand the danger of a nuclear Iran.

For your popular revolution in Iran, we should have figured out a way to hurt them on their subsidized domestic gasoline front. You already know that they supply extremely cheap subsidized gasoline to their population. When the price goes up, or the supply is rationed, the population is ready to riot... as almost happened a while back. That subsidized gas keeps the people somewhat placated. We should be finding a way to use that to our advantage.

The people in Iran know what is going on despite the government efforts to control information. That is why Iran is so scared of the internet.

Who knows what covert actions we are doing in Iran. I hope it is something. I hope we are in contact with some "friendly" generals in their high command. I hope we have that general that disappeared in Turkey a year or so ago.

There is hope. However there is no hope with the candidate that uses "hope" as a slogan.
