Dari,
Why or how is Iran a threat to World Peace? Who are their allies? Do you mean THEY are the center of Terrorism? Since Iraqi problems occured after the fall of the Soviet Union I guess I can conclude you'd think Iran should be invaded to obviate an attack on the US?
Moonster,
I went to sleep from your post to Dari, above... Is the wind the result of neuclear detonation?
Well, aside from the fact that they murdered 241 of our Marines in 1981;
Aside from the fact that they bombed an israeli community center in Argentina in 1994;
Aside from the fact that they fund, support, and train the Hezbullah guerrilla group in Lebanon, which carries out a proxy-war on their behalf
Aside from the fact that they are the world's new libya, where terror organizations the world over come to hold conferences, swap terror ideas, and renew their vows to destroy the United States and Israel;
Aside from the fact that Iran has setpup satellite terror outposts in Chechnya, the lawless triborder region where Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil meet, and south Asia;
Aside from the fact the imad mugniyah, the world's foremost terrorist thinker, is bankrolled by Iran and heads her South American terror outpost;
Aside from the fact the Iran and al Qaeda are busy formulating new terror strategies in an Iranian jail;
Aside from the fact that the ayatollahs have let loose Yahya;
and aside from the fact that Iran (and, by ordering Hezbullah to follow suit, Syria) is sending foreign troops to Iraq to fight the coalition troops, she is working hard to build a bomb to give to her partners/allies.
As I've said in my original statement, Iran may have a budding liberal movement, but it is nothing compared to the dual-forces of the ayatollahs and Yahya. And since Iranians are traditionally suspicious of foreign interference, an all out invasion wouldn't go down well in such a large country.
But Bush needs to think of something just as powerful as an invasion. He needs to think the exact opposite of an invasion. Luckly for him, I wrote a policy paper while at Princeton. To punish the iranians for their nuclear ambitions, Bush should widen the sanctions we already have against the terror state. Instead of just barring any company that does business within the country from doing business within the US, we should bar
any country whose native firm does business with the iranians from doing business with us. For example, if Mitsubishi sold electric shavers in Iran, an all out embargo against
all Japanese companies would go into effect. This would stop every country on Earth from dealing with the Iranians. It would bring about the collapse of the entire economy, regime, and health of the country. Tens of millions of people would go below the poverty level. Millions may die. The government would run out of cash and debt would soar. Impossible, you say? Well, it's possible with a country that has only one main staple, oil. Not only would it bring the regime to her knees, Iran would serve as an example of how powerful we are economically.
I sent the president my paper about 2 weeks ago. If anyone here would like to read it, let me know.
Number of Americans dead: 0
Number of Iranians dead: millions
Financial cost to U.S.: $0
Financial cost to Iran: $300-400 billion
This would be the perfect war. It would be bad for military contractors, but great for the financial community
Rothschild would be pleased.
