Iran defiant after Israeli missile test

[Century 25]

War is $$$, when Russia said " I give up.. we can't afford this f***ing cold war" - didn't papa Bush's handlers (same as W's) trot out a "new" threat.. eg: Saddam..? Yep, and.. presto.. War..$$$

Well.. I smell a stench here, I'd look for something rotting behind the scenes.. like Cheney & the CIA.. ah.. the usual culprits.

They really need to justify a permanent "presence" in the Mid-East, besides.. it's always gonna be the oil.. stupid. Yep, stupid us.

The MIC syndicate has big plans for that entire region.. this Halliburton Hotel.. aka Bush Palace.. will keep "us" right at home: New embassy in Iraq a mystery - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com

And: Baghdad embassy plans appear on Internet - Security - MSNBC.com

Btw.. Iran has much more oil..

Quote by: grandpa When both kind sof states employ violence, I can sensibly point out similarities. I would have to be deluded to cite some inherent distinction between "theocratic" violence and "democratic" violence.

You should ask. Why this country use violence. In democratic countries its usually for self defense and protection of its own civilians in totalitarian countries its usually the opposite for oppression and aggression.

Much the same can be said regarding nuclear weapons. It only adds to the fallacy when considering, as I've said numerous times, that the US is the only country to have attacked another with nukes. Did it do so in a "democratic" manner?

First of all there were no restrictions then on use such kind of weapons and no one really knew to what consequences it will lead.

Doe steh following article illustrate something "democratic" about nuclear weapons, or about US allies?

Do you really claim that Russia is democracy or US ally?

Another interesting point: You've previously exposed Israel as a Jewish state. In what way is that not at all akin to an ethnic state, or a theocratic one?

Exposed??It was declared and created by the UN mandate as such. Its nation state like many other European nation states...
