When are you growing the toothbrush mustache, Bob?


Let me get this straight Phil, buddy. You compare me to Hitler because
I believe Tehran should be destroyed in the event of an attack against
the State of Israel with IRBMs (which for all we know in the future
might mount an Iranian-made or DPRK/FSU purchased nuclear warhead)...
yet, you say nothing of Iran's blatant terrorist funding against
Israel, it's intense historical hatred of the Jews (including support
for the Nazi holocaust of WW2), and the fact that it is actively
seeking to develop nuclear weapons with the SOLE purpose of being
directed against Israel.
Who's the fascist then? The US should have dealt with Tehran during
the hostage crisis, and I'm not referring to "Operation Eagle Claw"
either. Instead, we elected President Reagan and let Iraq fight a 8 yr
war with them. The US has tried repeatedly to win over the
pro-democracy elements in Iranian society but has failed. Iran is
developing nuclear weapons for the purpose of destroying the Jewish
State. I don't blame Israel at all for it's tough stance and threats
to pre-emptive attack/sabotage their efforts. And if Tehran is someday
wiped off the earth as a consequence of their own
anti-semitism/arrogance then so be it. I won't lose any sleep over
it...
