I get way too much of a kick out of these armchair generals and their fantasy lands.

About as much of a kick as I get out of the hug-a-terrorist hippies that frequent this place.

If they existed, at least they'd know what a Terrorist was.

Anyone that acts contrary to the interests of the United States or Israel. Russia is leaning towards being a terrorist state lately.

Unfortunately, that ridiculous definition seems to motivate all too many.

America is the most important country in the world (because I'm in it.) Is self-interest and a lack of concern for others really that shocking to you? It's the american way.

Not shocked at all. Just hopeful that one day people can see beyond that BS "reasoning".

So after American forces move from Iraq into Iran, and from Afghanistan into Pakistan, we'll have successfully completed our game of "connect four."

Now here's the clincher, let's put it all under one czar, and call the place "Americastan." :D

I know all the words used to write this but the meaning completely escapes me. Perhaps if you knew what you feel you could write in a way that makes sense.

How about we launch a full scale nuclear attack and name it Glasslandistan :D

Nah, we need some of their assets. Besides, ideally, we don't kill them all, just enough to get them under control so we can govern them, since they're obviously not fit to govern themselves.

People who wage war against us are only fit to die first. Anything beyond that is a bonus for good behavior.

Super guy. He agrees that Iran needs an american lead regime change though.

Show me in the U.S. Constitution where it says it is up to the U.S. to lead "regime" changes throughout the world.

If your friend is so "super", he would get the hell out of the hell hole himself.

He doesn't live in Iran. He lives in America. He just understands what needs to be done for the good of Iran and America. Taking possession of Iranian oil assets would not only push down the price of petroleum in the US, but push the value of the dollar well beyond that of the Euro.

Not likely. People are supposed to be motivated by self-interest. Nothing personal, but I'd trade your life for a bottle of vodka. *shrug*

That isn't "self interest" though. That's National Interest.

Have you've been sleeping under a rock for the past 7 years?

We secured Iraq's oil and all it did was give the Oil companies massive record profits while raping us at the pump.

Iran can keep it's oil and Nuclear plants.

You say that like it's some horrible thing that you can do nothing about. We knew they'd have massive profits. That's like being shocked that Raytheon or Blackwater are making tons of dollars. Invest in the machinery of war and be rewarded. Because there's plenty of war to come.
