I wish they built a colony spaceship and send all the evil commie-socialists into space (me with them), towards a paradise of the new world, leaving the evil capitalists behind.
Unfortunately, I doubt CountAnarch, Louis, HoreTore and some of the regulars here will be gone too. We might kidnap Lemur too and convert him to our ways.
Sorry, big fan of capitalism here. I'd have a black market up and running on your colony ship before you knew what had hit you.Quote:

I will stay here. Let us cultivate our garden.
I really cannot see Iran going all suicidal and using nuclear weapons on America or any of her pets, I think unspellable leader of Iran has a much worse bark than his bite, I also think a large portion of his bark is built up by our western media. We take things out of context (or simply mistranslate them for the fun of it) ignore our negative actions towards Iran and concentrate only on the negative actions they return towards us, of course they look bad...
I for one support Iran's nuclear program, it has been shown quite clearly that they are on the wrong side of the big boys and the big boys don't wish to play fair, so if even a country like the UK with its friends and high places and modern army must renew its nuclear capabilities then Iran would be positively insane not to make such moves. Besides once the Iranians have such a powerful deterrent they can ignore aggressive actions/words from US and Israel and perhaps without outside distractions the Iranians can think more about Internal reform.
I now the internal reform attempt went badly but Irans leader had the support of most people for building the nuclear weapons, he also had the support of some people for being the man to stand up to Israel and USA. Once the nukes are built and assuming the aggressive rhetoric stops then they guy is running out of reasons to get re-elected (TBH im almost thinking he's like Bush without terrorism to fight, theres not much reason to vote for him)
I agree. Pushing a country into a corner for a few decades and then acting surprised at the fact they feel got at is obviously hypocritical. But hypocrisy that doesn't get picked up in the West. We meddle with their internal leadership, threaten to bomb them, support hostile regimes, invade two neighbours, make it widely known that any friend of theirs is an enemy of ours... and then they try to get weapons. What is wrong with these blood thirsty monsters? :inquisitive:
Let's not forget Israel went for Nukes as it felt unable to compete in a conventional war against its enemies. I imagine that is completely different though...
I don't think Iran is naturally an "evil" country. Nor are they paranoid - the threat from the West is real and occurs every day. They are what we created. And apparently we'll only be nice after they give up any defences and prostrate themselves at our feet.
