True, the title of this thread was more of a statement than a question! Sir Isaac may very well be trolling... Surely it wouldn't be the first time. Please be careful not to take the bait to easily. I enjoy reading your posts Al, and would hate it if you got turned off to posting here. (but not this thread LOL)

Die Thread Die! LOL

Point taken. Thank you, Rhertz, I enjoy your posts as well. I'm here for the long haul...its just that this is one of my hot-button issues and I tend to get carried away.

Sorry to hit your hot button. I know some of my points where not taken
in the way I ment them. I did read all your replys and do respect your
thoughts and opinions. I too will drop this subject and move on. You too
have a good weekend. There is one Judge not me or you but God Almighty !
I have NEVER been on a web site or a chat room ever that was a open
page to be written on. I have already learned alot. Thank you Al !

That is a good question. We all share this planet and names are a way of placing us in groups or factions so we fight each other. I think the middle east
is a power keg waiting for its moment. I can not see the Hatfield's and McCoy's kissing a making up so that leaves the option of war then a peace treaty which is just a lull in war so they can fight some more. The land over there they are fighting for looks like a pile of sand and rock. Time has not made things better for them and war either. I think we all have some common blood or DNA in us and it would be nice to give peace a chance.

Ok, I'll take a whack at this one. In my opinion any talk about wiping "the jews", "the zionists", or Israel off the map is anti-semitic. I don't know the history of the Semites, but often the conotation of a word changes over time to fit into current society and borders.

As for the Iranians, even though I do not wish them to have nukes, I don't want to see anyone "wiped off the map" except for those unfortunately enough to be working on a nuclear program. In that case, I am for knocking out their nuclear program today, even if it only buys us 5 more years to figure out what to do, or to develop better spy and defense technology. They way they have racheted up their rhetoric, it is almost like they want us to hit their nuke facilities. Begging for it. I wonder why?

Iran would like us to look like the bad guy in eyes of the world if we attack them. It sounds like the leader is about to loose his grip on power with a little more time. Give peace a chance and like all dictators he will fall from with in and the US can stay out of another war. Even the "third world" people are getting on line these days and the way dictators work is thru control of the media and they are loosing that in a major way. It always amazes me how the few control the many. With technology catching up like it has in the last hundred years the Mullahs are shaking in their boots.

Very, VERY few dictators are deposed by their own countrymen. They either commit suicide, are removed from power by foreign forces, or they reign until death. Just thought I'd set ya straight on that.
