Stumble This | You should also watch “Chomsky on Iran and Nuclear Development” |
An editorial by Keith Olbermann (aired 12/06/07) highlighting president Bush's (and his administration's) deceptions on Iran's nuclear program, as well as accusing him and his administration of fear mongering and political manipulation for personal agendas.
Those opposing giving Iran a well-deserved black eye are gambling that the unstable suicidal figurehead of a jihadist regime will "keep his word" not to build nuclear weapons.
2. If we attack Iran, we give them a good reason to fight back.
You can only negotiate peace with enemies who fear consequences.
Right now, Iran doesn't properly fear the United States. There is a lack of respect.
To put it in proper perspctive, Red China, with nukes and population over a billion, fears the US. Beijing knows if it were to launch an assault on the US, they would perish along with us. The Communist Chinese are oppressive scum, but they are sane enough to know the stakes. Although they are a far more dangerous enemy than any gang in the Middle East, they're stable, more concerned with getting Beijing ready for the Olympics.
Jihadists are NOT sane. They're convinced that glorious megadeaths will only delight Allah. Unlike Iraq, Iran has a prosperous, well-read middle class. If they have a choice between their whole country being wiped out or offering up I'm-A-Dinner-Jacket and his merry band of clerics, guess who's going to be assassinated?
It's important for naive peaceniks to know they're advocating appeasement, basing peace on a crazed jihadist keeping his word.
Well, I've made MY case.

You should be able to edit it now if you're not happy with the copy and can find another one. Make sure you check the box on your posts to be informed of new comments, that way you'll be notified if the vid is marked dead or something. Between the time it's marked and declared dead (couple of days) we can't change it but you can fix it.
If it's not fixed in that time span it goes to the dead pool, there anyone bronze or above can fix the vid. That's why you couldn't do it I'd guess, it's your vid but with no bronze and the dead status that made it no longer editable for you. Just watch your mail for notices until you get that bronze I guess.
You and Eric will have to work out what to do from here I guess since we do have a dupe now.
