He had the chance to eliminate the entire future leadership of Iran in
one airstrike. Carter didn't have the balls, for fear of harming the
hostages.

28 years later, we're paying a stiff price for having electing a
clawless, clueless president -- and now, instead of a few hostages, we
have many millions of lives at stake, and a nuclear-armed, radical
Islamic state.

Carter will go down in history as the one man who could have changed
the course of history -- and didn't. In 200 years historians will be
writing about him in the same breath as Neville Chamberlain.

Well, assuming the West wins the war, and we get to write the history
books.

Jay,

You can't really think the world is that simple. Well, I guess you can.

and a nuclear-armed, radical
Islamic state.

Yep, nuclear-armed, radical christian states are much better.

Yes, in fact, history has proven they are.

Gig,

Yes, in fact, history has proven they are.


Oh?

Let's see:

a) number of nukes dropped by nuclear-armed, (considered by some to be)
radical christian states
b) number of nukes dropped by nuclear-armed, (considered by others to
be) radical islamic states

This is fun!

A] Number of innocent non-combatants killed by radical christian states when
there isn't a military target to be seen?

B] Number of innocent non-combatants killed by radical islamic states when

You're right it is.

About 250,000.

About fifty times less.

Actually, history has proven the opposite, but the present situation is
certainly better. I've spent a lot of time in an islamic area nd they're
even more pig-headed and ignorant, by and large, than the christian right,
but only marginally so.

If either side gets it's way, we're heading for a new dark age of
superstition and ignorance. Ones as bad as the other and it's only when an
occasional spurt of intelligence comes by that the seemingly compelling
slide into stupidity is reversed.
Hopefully the US's little foray into the darkness will at least be slowed
next year when the chimp is gone.
