Iran sending warships close to US borders[W:623]

Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

Yep, just what I figured. Btw, #2 never happens.

What interests were gained in Bosnia, Kosovo and Sierra Leone other than the protection of civilians?
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

Really, nothing needs to be done to Iran.
I beg to differ on that. The embassy crisis alone is enough reason to undermine the regime, let alone their rabid anti-Americanism, support of terrorism, and nuclear proliferation.
Besides, this empire is waning, other countries are growing more assertive. There is a balancing of power under way.

We're losing out? We're just getting started! We brought down the Soviet Union; you think we can't handle a backwards theocracy?

No. Apparently you've missed the failings.

And you deny that there is rabid anti-Iranianism.

Your missing the decline too? Ok Mad.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

You don't know where I stay.

I could be wrong, but I could have swore that one of your posts in another thread had you admitting that you were a US citizen....ah well, I don't really care where you live. For all I know it is in Iran, or Venezuela....But my guess is that you're just another disgruntled OWSer that is suffering from opposition defiance disorder at heart, so as a matter of course it is fun to bat you around for a while, but you soon grow tiresome....Have a nice day.

Thanks j you too.
 
Re: Iran sending warships close to US borders

Three responses to the same post is a little much, don't you agree?

And you deny that there is rabid anti-Iranianism.
They pretty much started it by storming our embassy. And before you bring up the 1950s coup, many conservative Iranians - including the clergy that would later come to rule the country - had already opposed Mossadegh.
Your missing the decline too? Ok Mad.
22 years ago we outlasted and outmaneuvered the mighty Soviet Union. 14 years ago we assisted in the downfall of Milosevic. 13 years ago we booted the Taliban out of Afghanistan, hopefully for good. 11 years ago we toppled Saddam without much difficulty and left behind a relatively stable Iraq. Two years ago we got rid of Gaddafi. And now, we'll (hopefully) vanquish Assad and flip Putin the bird while we're at it. I'd say we're still in the game.
No. Apparently you've missed the failings.

I'm not entirely sure what this even means.

Ok, your dismissing our CIA's interference in another sovereign countries affairs, no surprise.

Russia is rebounding, ever how slowly.

Booted the Taliban out of A-Stan. As I watch their strength and influence today, I'm laughing.

A relatively stable Iraq, um yes!

Gaddafi? Assad? Ok Mad, your going to be in the group that clings to the "power and dominance" of the falling empire to the end, in denial, refusing to accept what is. There are those in every one.

Goodness, you might think there was actually something WRONG with stoning women to death for being raped or hanging homosexuals in the public square!



So happy to have folks like you setting us straight on the subject.

I know, they are a pretty evil dictatorship, and it's kind of disturbing the lengths to which some go to defend this extremist regime.

The defense is a product of acting out. People with immature world views who only know what they are against but not what they are for all too easily fall into the trap of thinking the enemy of their enemy is their friend. Their childish support of the Mullahs is their way of sticking it to the man.

Yup, that makes a lot of sense. It's funny to think that here these people are posting on a political debate website and freely saying these things, yet at the same time trying to compare the U.S. to Iran!!! :roll: I wonder if they realize how ridiculous they are?

Of course there is something wrong with that. But you fix all the **** that's ****ed up right here at home, and then will talk about Iran, Burma and Argentina.

So happy to have folks like you always looking to rid the world of its evils, overlooking the ones under your own nose.

Gracious sakes alive, we have a government stoning women to death right here and I didn't even know? :shock:

Why haven't you alerted me before now? :doh

Taliban are not out of AfPak, Assad is winning his war of attrition, Libya is FUBAR ( ****ed up beyond all recognition)
because of the US facilitated assassination of Qaddafi, and the is NOTHING "relatively stable" about Iraq.

Time to let go of the hatred of Iran. We don't have to be friends, we can recognize each other's legitimate concerns in the region.

Not trying to get into it with you, I read your posts and you are intelligent, but I had to say something here. Our alliances with the Sunni to the exclusion of the Shiites, is not in keeping with
our best interest either. Better to be an honest broker , unlike Putin.
