Iran
If Iran has this type of technical know how can't they be part of
NASA, and join the space programs. Most of our missiles became part of the space programs. Why don't the countries that have the technical knowhow become or join the pioneers of space. Wouldn't the world profit from a greater pool of minds in this venture.
Middle East
In my opion this whole mess were in is about protecting oil,you have the shitti cedic holding the cease fire against the usa,iran wants to take out isreal,iran who doesnt want to take the incentive package offered(if building for energy why not take it),what a mess.So? out of the whole mess in the middle est whats the #1 problem there?I think all the head of the countries need to sit down and put all the cards on the table,and say this is the #1 problem,#2 problem up to #5,then ask how can we all fix all this.away with sanctions (cause there not working)how or what can we all do (the world)to fix all this mess.(all the politicians with hidden agenda stay away)only serious people may attend.Fix or make plans to fix situation ,shake hands,take pics sing documents,and go home.but like I said just my opion
Iran military maneuvers and Nuke testing.
When a country has openly made statements about wanting us all dead (for religious reasons?) he can't be made to change his mind because his religion in this case has been ingrained in him since he was four - even the necessity for killing the infidels. So, his next step is to develop the machinery for doing this which they are doing and testing as you read this article. Is there any question what needs to happen? I am tired of tiptoeing around the real issue and that is we have to do them in convincingly before they have a chance to push the button on us. This would be done from very high altitude bombers and missiles pinpointing every spot where war munitiions (nuke or standard are made ) and totally obliterate them along with the human beings(?) who run the asylum. All launches would be made so that all known targets are hit at once, making a retaliation impossible. If this is totally abhorrent to those highest in power, then it could be done with neutron bombs followed by a mass invasion of a country that has no surviving infostructure. Iran first along with other countries that have been outspoken about attacking America - (possibly Argentina as well)Where are the George S. Pattons, MacArthurs, and Montgomeries of the past? Are there not enough balls left in the world to produce men who will stand in the enemy's face with an iron jaw and dare them to retaliate. We have been threatened, they are preparing, these are acts of War,punishable in the past by an arse-kicking. I am ready to rejoin my comrades in arms though I am now 61, my aim is perfect, I am in great health, I am at peace with the rightness of my intentions. Let us move ahead and rid the world of its vermin.
