I really liked this. i love when people do unconventional things to get involved and make a statement.

simple yet very revealing

hope it takes off

thoughts?

more so on the add campaign less on the bomb iran topic

How about "Thank Iran" for supporting the military industrial complex? It's not like they aren't doing anything to help raise tension and support for building up defense.

I also do not think the US will bomb Iran. Israel might, but the US will not. The only way I could see the US getting involved is if Iran attacks US assets as result and I only see them limiting operations to ensure the straights stay open.

Iran can rattle their sabers all they want, but they know the stakes at hand. Somehow, Russia will have to mediate the nuclear issue and the sooner the better.

There are reports that Iran's recent chest-puffing has to do with elections that are occurring next week. Ahadameda.....what's-his-face if getting challenged from an even more conservative opposition political group. So all the war games and tough talk may just be a front to make him look tough to the population and stay in office.

We shall see.

probably the case, I cannot imagine they want or can handle a war with the US and neither can we. My fear is that the US will strike with Israel when it isn't warranted. When are we going to realize Israel can handle itself just fine and all we should worry about in regards to middle east tensions is who will win the Stanley cup this year.

Continue with the assassinations or let Israel handle it. I think Israel is ready to go to war but the US is holding them back.

People are saying the US may take military action/war in the spring and it will be a terrible and regrettable military maneuver.


I dont think its a good idea either.

There has to be alternatives to war or "actions".


thats the word.

Oh Ahmadinejad will win. People don't realize he doesn't call the shots in Iran.

Think of the repercussions of them doing that. I'd rather they not.

Haven't seen anything like that in some time. The last one I saw was on the way into the Washington's Ho Rainforest. The US Forestry sign had been skillfully altered from "Managed Forest" to "Manged Forest".

War, endless war. What a waste. :(
