Bro, Iran can’t cause any harm to this country from way over there in the Middle East. They’re not our problem.



I kid, of course. That’s nowhere near my actual opinion. But I’ve seen it here almost word for word, and IMO it’s bewildering to see it.

I posted how not to be naive in the OP. 20 pages of stupid naive responses followed. It's amazing

Some of you people are dense on this topic

How hard is it to understand that Islamic terrorists want to destroy the US, meaning YOU, and Iran has long been funding and organizing those efforts?

Seriously, how dense do you have to be to not understand this?

Get this. . .he claimed earlier that he studied Islam at a graduate level.



And with what I am sure is an impressive education, all he has managed. . .

This guy is not a serious person.

He is not worth engaging further.

You don't think that would hinder the Iranian govt from funding and organizing terrorists? Of course it would. Don't be obtuse like SFP


Can you demonstrate to me that Iran is a worse sponsor of terror than numerous other countries around the world? Can you show me an amount of money that Iran has given to terrorist versus the amount that Saudi Arabia has given to terrorists? If you want to disrupt terror, we should kill all the Whabi Islamists in Saudi.

Being obtuse is acting like knowing the population of a country you want to destroy is unimportant.

Democrats don't care. Whatever the cause they will fight the President and side with whoever or whatever is against the United States.

What's not exactly true? Are you saying we don't fund terrorist groups or regime changes in other sovereign nations with rebel groups?

Here's the entire post you're attempting to quote. You mistakenly missed a few pieces...




"Here are the nine countries with nuclear weapons. Russia, The United States, China, France, The United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea.

The emboldened countries, in their own way are just as socially and culturally primitive and barbaric as Iran.

The concern we all have is that Iran will nuke Israel, the same way Pakistan will nuke India, and India will nuke Pakistan, and North Korea will nuke South Korea, and Israel will nuke Iran.

Just look at all the nuclear war those cavemen have caused. Countless millions have died because of them.

In the history of mankind, up to 250,000 people have been killed by nuclear weapons. Not one of those deaths were a result of those emboldened countries.

Now I don't endorse Iran having nuclear weapons, but I don't endorse Israel having them either. Even without nuclear weapons, Israel is the biggest baddest motherfricker in the region, and they have the United States on speed dial. What could Israel possibly need with nuclear weapons? What's Israel's responsibility in decreasing nuclear tensions in the region? Why is Israel not being pressured to enter into a non-proliferation agreement?

Those are rhetorical questions. Most of us know why, and it's not because they live under constant threat".

What I’m saying is that Iran has zero capacity to bring a fight to US soil, so saying “fight them there, or fight them here” is a stupid argument.

Not exactly. First, the intel that Bush received was correct. Second, that situation was different than Islamic terrorism in general

What I'm saying is a fact and it's not fear mongering. We have real enemies who are working to destroy us. They don't care about politics and they are funded and supported by Iran. That is a fact.
