I thought he was just ignoring me. I don't think he committed virtual hari-kari, he just doesn't like me. Thats ok, because I don't like him back.

Kirk....the world believed Saddam had a nukular program, remember?

You're calling for somebody to do exactly what we did in Iraq. Don't you think this drips with irony?

There were plenty of people who doubted Iraq had a nuclear program, myself included. The "aluminum tubes" were immediately debunked, and the "purchase order" for yellowcake was known to be a forgery before Bush announced it in the state of the union address. It was well known Israel destroyed Iraq's only nuclear reactor.

Iran OTH is known to have reactors and centrifuges, as they ascribe to the non-proliferation treaty, and have their equipment inspected by the IAC.

Please don't insult people's intelligence by pretending Iran's program is a dud like Iraq's supposed program.

The UN inspectors reported Saddam had no nuclear weapons and did not have the industrial capaciity to produce them, something anyone could deduce. Your idea that the "World" thought so shows how deep Bush Admin disinformation penetrated into your skull. You need to stop making wild assertions and post some proof for your newly invented "fact" instead of trying to make pre-war proganda bull$hit sound like world opinion.

Any nation that can be shown to have been compliciant in Sept 11 is a legitimate target for attack, something oil hungry neo-con war pigs could never come up with in the case of Iraq. War, when waged, must have a just basis. You constantly excuse this war, based on simple human greed, as some kind of response to 911. It was not - it was murder committed for oil. A war in Iran, for the purpose of destroying a state that facilitates al-Queda is a war to protect my children, not a war to create profits for oil companies and satisfy the Hitlerian fantasies the neo-cons have been vomitting on us since 1998, theories that this morally corrupt president has put into practice by hijacking our national tragedy to suit his own ends. If you get out some of those economic geography books you claim to be expert in, you will find that Iran is an advanced industrial nation with natural resources other than sand and oil, and is capable of building, if it not already has, the kind of industrial infrastructure necessary to produce nuclear weapons, along with all the other big nasties. It also has an extremely well developed academic class of the type of scientists necessary to do such, and a political philosophy of hatred towards us adopted by many of them. Iraq simply does not have the natural resources to become a nuclear state, someone who claims to understand the basics of economic geography should understand that. They were only capable of threatening us with what they could buy, and they were so heavily embargoed and bombed, it was impossible for them to be threat to us because they could not buy or build anything. I, a computer guy in Houston, knew this is March of 2003. Why did our president invade Iraq? What is ironic is that someone who claims to have knowledge in the field of economic geography postulates a threat from Iraq ever existed can do it with a straight face.

Kirk

Thats a silly question - he did it because Cheney told him to do it so that Halliburton could get a bunch of no-bid contracts.

Man I thought you were smarter than that.....

Bot - I admire your patience, it's truly amazing that you can continue a conversation with people on this board that contradict themselves every third sentence.

My hats off to you - I can't do it.

Tim: perhaps instead of jumping in and hurling juvenile sarcasim and personal attack, you could actually join in the discussion in an intellectual way and point out the contradictions I am making. Perhaps then you could prove if you are smart at all.

I guess France and Germany aren't part of your world;) I don't think we would ever fight a country that actually had a nuclear program. That takes real guts.

Comes from being a stupid neconazi. My pinhead doesn't allow for common sense so I continue ramming it into the local icons of truth and virtue.

Oh yeah, now that's a smart plan there.

I'm all for frontal assault on Iran. I say we should support the French and German forces in every way short of doing the fighting. Do you not think they should step-up to the plate now that we have perfect irrefutable evidence that they are developing nukular weapons?

PS Turns out Niger had been approached by Iraq for uranium ore. They wanted the ore for the following reason_______.
