i used to find it hard to believe that the american elites would go to war with iran because of the destruction that iran could cause but it struck me one day in work,that destruction would not affect them or there money it would only affect the hundreds of thousands possibly millions that would die. the rich have become so detatched from reality that they are willing to do this. when people fear goverment there is tyrany when goverments fear the people there is liberty

The jews will be the ones to start the beginning of the end..when the jews use their F16 fighter jets to bomb the Iranian "nuclear sites" Iran will seek destruction on Israel and US forces will back up Israel. Georgia is another issue and it belongs to Russia and Russia couldn't give a hoot about their independence but will not tolerate Georgia being in Nato...they can't let it happen as it would be like Cuba having nuclear weapons 60 miles away from US homeland. Get it? US again responsible!

The real face of what money does to people is only really beginning to surface. It makes people desire money over other human beings. Oil is simply something that brings money. Money brings comforts and pride, and men of money have gotten used to destroying other's comforts for their own. THAT is Uncivilized.

Yea, I agree. They just want Irans oil. North korea, and Im sure a few other countries have nuclear capabilities, we are not after them. I dont blame iran for not wanting to sell us thier oil. Who makes us better???, that we have to go and just take what we want from other places???
