More sanctions are needed. Time to push their buttons a little harder. I'd rather see this done now than wait until they've got the bomb, if they don't already have it.

Well, we can wait and see what happens. They have sworn to destroy Israel. If they have nukes, Israel isn't going to put up with it if they can help it. They have squadrons training for a bombing mission so, maybe we will get lucky and history will repeat itself.

Not only Israel but America too. Iraq and Israel will be the staging areas. I think Iran's nuclear weapons program is further along than what's we've been led to believe. A nuclear Iran is a real bad idea. I hope it will not be "allowed" to happen, even if it means an all out war. Once they have nuclear weapons it will be too late to avoid a nuclear war.

Yes, but Israel is there AND they are determined to survive at all costs. We are neither. So, if we slip in the intelligence, bombs and Israel does the dirty work, so what?

a bit alarmist, i think.

they may just want nukes because all the other guys have them....pakistan, india, etc etc.

you really think that iran is more likely to use nukes than pakistan?

There is no evidence of bomb-making.

There is evidence of nuclear enrichment. Nuclear enrichment can be for peaceful uses -- fuel for reactors, for example.

Everything else is speculation, inference, or 3rd-party evidence.

Iran has kicked inspectors out.

This is EXACTLY the type of crappola that got some people to buy into the Iraq WMD thing.

Think people! Don't do this twice.

God Iranians - Bad Iranians

I once was dating a girl & she takes me to meet a friend of hers.


It;s this Iranian girl....this was pre Iran / Iraq stuff;

This girl was to date the hottest chic I ever met or saw anywhere....

We stayed at her house that night. I was praying for a 3 way , but didn't get that lucky...

Beware of prominent body hair on the Iranian girls. The Lebanese girls that are stunning with their clothes on seem to be afflicted too. You'd think that living in that arid climate would have bred that feature out of the gene pool, but alas, it seems to be very consistant, and dissapointing

Yes. True. I'll never forget that reminds me of a funny hairy-toe story. Well -- funny today, she was smokin' hot, but those toes.

...ick!

Like I said this was a while ago and this girl was about 19 so it wouldn't have been an issue...AT ALL!

Seems like body hair would be beneficial in an arid climate. I've noticed if I let my facial hair grow out, my skin doesn't get all dried out from soaps and such in the shower.

And spending two summers ago working at a golf course from 6AM to 2PM, I know that you won't get burned if you've got a lot of it.

I'm not sure what use toe hair would be though
