I hope the rest of you are sharing your thoughts with folks who are republicrats and such, I would never want to be critical of people who think a lot like I do, but we could use a few more converts...I know it sounds religious and crusadish, but just do it every so often...I find that when I describe my Libertarian thinking to people who aren't, they almost always agree with me (but of course don't want to "waste" their vote on a party that always loses)... Excuse me, but the whole 2-party system is rigged, literally, by those who pull the strings (TPTB) so what have we got to lose?!?!?!.........

However, the Iranian clerics decided they wanted to continue the war in hope that they could conquer Iraq. So Iran's clerics were responsible for at least as much killing as Saddam. They could have ended it much sooner.

If a similar percentage of the USA had been killed in such a proxy war, the US casualty rate would be closer to 4 million. The US continues to attack Iranian interests regularly, has built up military forces on two borders with Iran, and works to prevent Iran selling it's oil in Euros. If Iran was building up military forces in Mexico and Canada, you would be highly concerned and would have no problems with any measure the US would take to remove those forces from both the northern and souther borders. The relatives of the 4 million people killed would support almost any aggressive action. > Are you comfortable with the possibility that Islamist extremist clerics > might soon have nuclear weapons?

If I was Iran, I would certainly want some more deterrents at the very least to make the USA think twice about their aggressive stand against every interest of Iran. I would also be as interested in getting rid or the clerics as I am about getting rid of corporate influence in US government. -- Steve - dudescholar4@ basicmail. net Take World's Smallest Political Quiz at http://www.theadvoc ates.org/ quiz.html "If a thousand old beliefs were ruined on our march to truth we must still march on." --Stopford Brooke [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
