With talk like this going around, don’t let it surprise you when George W. Bush drops a fucking “nucular” warhead on Iran’s collective face.
From the article:
“If the U.S. ventured into any aggression on Iran, Iran will retaliate by damaging U.S. interests worldwide twice as much as the U.S. may inflict on Iran,” [Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei said in a speech to a workers’ assembly, according to the official news agency IRNA.
But what really worries me is that
[t]he recent statements are “a war of words,” said Gary G. Sick, a professor of Middle East policy at Columbia University and longtime monitor of Iranian politics. “Neither side has anything to gain by an attack on the other, but there is a chance of an accident triggering something and that’s what makes the situation so dangerous.”
Just like the bad old Cold War days… only this time, it’s not the U.S.S.R. – it’s Iran, who’s back is got by none other than Russia.
Nice one, Iran. Talking shit to a loose cannon is like playing baseball with a grenade: nobody is going to win, and many spectators are going to be hurt very badly.

Now is the time for a war mobilization by all of us whose contribution to the war effort is made with a keyboard instead of a rifle. Many of us having been saying for years that Iran is the ultimate enemy in the War on Terrorism—and now war with Iran is openly being considered and debated. This is the moment we have been waiting for. This is the time for us to make the case for war with Iran.Use whatever medium is open to you: blog entries, letters to the editor, phone calls, e-mails, and letters to your congressman and to the White House, one-on-one debates with friends and coworkers. Make the case that war with Iran is not just “thinkableâ€â€”it is mandatory. We need to attack Iran, not just to keep it from developing nuclear weapons, but to topple the largest remaining state sponsor of terrorism, and to discredit Islamic rule.

Are you actually a moron? You talk just like one. Blowing up the whole fucking world is probably not the best answer. Sort of like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. You might not have heard that idiom, but it means this: you defeat the point of action when such action leads to total loss. Better to fix a problem than to just blow it up, cowboy.
