[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 686926, member: 11425"] Tie, thanks for your concern but I assure you that I am quite alright. As for the Iranian leadership, I agree, they are not what I would consider wise and sage leaders. In fact, they are a-holes. But are they suicidal? Do they really want to bring upon themselves the destruction of their country? For that is surely the prospect they would face if they dared to launch a nuclear weapon at us or Israel. Also, why would you appease someone you want to ultimately control? Wouldn't it make more sense to confront them? And is that not the path we are presently on? And why do we want to confront them? Oil. It's always about oil in that part of the world. If those oil wells ever start drying up you will see how fast we lose interest. Whatever, let's go to war. But when medicare, social security, schools, police, roads, etc. have less and less money, remember where all our tax dollars went. And I am not even making the argument that govt. should even provide those services. But the fact is the govt. does and we rely on that to make our domestic life function. Maybe you will not need medicare and social security to supplement your retirement, but I do. And unfortunately, because of the slow but sure destruction of the middle class, more and more people will rely on these sources, too. It will be a shame if nothing is left after we are done fighting over someone else's damn desert. [/QUOTE]
