Nuking the Middle East - someone explain this logic to me....

[CKent]

Not everything people say is literal. If I say "holy cow!", do you look around expecting to see a divine bovine?

I think he understands that.

Some people really do think it is better to nuke a country or even an entire region like Middle East.

I've spoken to people who propose this as a genuine solution. I know of at least a few people on this forum who have repeatedly advocated it. I know most people don't really believe it when they say this. Some do.

Nobody really means it. It's just an expression of frustration at a fucked up situation.

Nobody really means it... until you get that one whackjob in power that believes in a scorched earth tactic.

Uh oh you must have known where this was going GA. Short answer people who say that and mean it are racist right wing wing nuts. There are a LOT of them. You can't win any argument with these people because they have something far more powerful than you or I. They have ignorance and stupidity married with bucket loads of hate. You can't win against that.

A proven solution to all problems

It's very simple..

People not only like parking lots, but want more parking spaces.

People like glass, they make everything that is cool out of glass, including the family jewels.


So how do you convert a region they hate into something they love? Turn it into a glass parking lot!

I've read that book twice and studied ME history. The final paragraph of the cut and paste review is more illuminating than your lazy and simplistic I-know-everything-because-I-once-read-a-chapter-of-Howard-Zinn attitude:

>>This conclusion, however, requires too many historical jumps, exculpates several presidents who might have pressured the Shah to institute reforms, and overlooks conflicts between the Shia theocracy in Tehran and Sunni extremists in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and elsewhere.

Kinzer would have been better off making a less sweeping judgment: that TPAJAX got the CIA into the regime-change business for good—similar efforts would soon follow in Guatemala, Indonesia, and Cuba—but that the Agency has had little success at that enterprise, while bringing itself and the United States more political ill will, and breeding more untoward results, than any other of its activities.14 Most of the CIA's acknowledged efforts of this sort have shown that Washington has been more interested in strongman rule in the Middle East and elsewhere than in encouraging democracy. The result is a credibility problem that accompanied American troops into Iraq and continues to plague them as the United States prepares to hand over sovereignty to local authorities. All the Shah's Men helps clarify why, when many Iraqis heard President George Bush concede that "ixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe,"15 they may have reacted with more than a little skepticism.<<

you call that spelling or grammatical error?

the only phrase i've ever heard of that sounds even remotely similar to what you were saying was "boat load"

now how you get from boat to buck with a spelling or grammatical error is beyond me.

the oat and uck are nowhere near each other on the keyboard.

unless you were having a seizure, your dyslexia excuse doesnt work here.

There is no problem that can't be solved with enough explosives.

LOL wow guyver got owned there.

 

[Slapstick]

.........In my experience it's almost always older people (40+) who say these things, although I've heard it from a handful of younger ignorant people.

Because the older you get the more you realize that there is nothing special about human life.
