OUG I do think often and hard.
But on some things mate we will forever be far apart.
Iran, yes has been medaled with, all of its history, by many more than America.
Today may, but I can not see it, be a result of its history.
Consider this, in Nigeria, last night and yesterday, about 150 people died.
Murdered.
By an Islamist group, named something like this *Western Education is Sin*
Remember OUG from Islamic culture we got great things, and use hem still.
But this is not that culture.
Within Islam, not all, lives a hatred a blind one educated entrenched hatred.
Iran is in the hands of such.
In time we will understand, religion divides humanity, Islamist have as much right to their God as you have to yours.
But without any of them, my fear/understanding we are on the brink could be layed to rest.

Dear Belly,

Some people hold the view that nuclear weapons have
helped prevent war. Throughout the most recent
decades since these destructive devices have appeared
on the scene, most superpowers have tried to avoid outright
military conflict. However, unfortunately, the arms
race introduced recent instability into the balance
of power. Each new weapon or defense system seems to
offer one side or the other a chance to gain or
maintain some temporary advantage.

In practice therefore, reliance on nuclear deterrence
means a continuation of the arms race and the constant threat
of annihilation. Nuclear weapons don't guarantee that war
can't happen - only that it will be calamitous if it does.
They don't so much defend as threaten, and in threatening,
they elicit still more threats in return - as the world's
stockpile of bombs and missiles attests.

Is anything that Iran and others value so important that it
justifies risking the destruction of their own societies, the
murders of billions of people, and the jeopardizing of our
very species?

Let's hope we won't ever have to find out.

They can-not see past their own religion. Our way of life doesn't fit with theirs. We can-not live in the same world. It is kill or be killed.

Dear 579,

Then why are so many Iranians fleeing their country -
looking for refuge elsewhere. Obviously many of their people
don't agree with the regime that rules them. They're
voting with their feet.

Hope lies with the various movements in these areas that
are anti the government line.

Exactly right, but like all one man organizations they are entrenched in their own belief. It is not the people it is the organization. But how can you separate one from the other. If the people won't or unable to go against their leaders, it's becoming very obvious we can not go on with radical regimes.

dear belly...tomorrow
the papers will be raving on about israel
about how them arab semites are sending rockets..into greater israel

if you watch the news tonight
you might even see some vision..[from them sky thingies..
