It is I, the Ayatollah of Common Sense, who disagrees with you and Veronica and Gabe:-)) > Secondly, just saying that something is "absolutely wrong" only tells us your conclusions. It tells us nothing about your knowledge of the situation or how you arrived at those conclusions. For example: > Do you know what is going on in Iran? Do you know what is going on regarding Iran at the highest levels of the UN? Are you aware that the US has no intentions of attacking Iran while the UN is negotiating with it, just as the US waited for 12 long years while Iraq was violating 17 UN resolutions demanding an accounting of it's WMDs - the last one containing an ultimatum? > Are your news sources not reporting that Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been threatening to wipe Israel off the map on an almost weekly if not daily basis? Why are you not concerned about a country that is trying to develop a nuclear capability while simultaneously threatening to "wipe" another country "off the map"? > Why are your concerns about the economic and environmental impact on the middle-east and the entire world not aimed at Iran developing a nuclear weapon and carrying out it's threat, or attempting to? > Isn't your concern about one possible option in preventing Iran from carrying out it's threat another case of selective outrage? > _____________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
