DC Tom Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 And now those great Humanitarians in Iran have Offered Help  The funny thing is, if the rest of the Arab* world gave a **** about Palestinians, they wouldn't have kept them dirt-poor and stuck in refugee camps for the past sixty years. Palestinians are looked down on by Arabs just as much as by Israelis - they're just a convenient excuse to the Arab world to perpetuate the conflict with Israel.     *And yes, I know Iran isn't "Arab". They play the same damn game, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 And now those great Humanitarians in Iran have Offered Help Iran and Israel are ready to go toe-to-toe with each other, and our coach in this game is Dick Jauron. Â Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 And now those great Humanitarians in Iran have Offered Help  People have to understand that about 99% of what is said is bullpoop for the masses- if someone actually said yeah send some ships, there would be about a hundred reasons why they'd love to but can't . If there is ever any military action between Israel and Iran it is going to be through gross miscalculation not intention. Israel would love for us to attack Iran but I don't think even our government is that stupid but I've been wrong before. Most of the leaders in the Muslim world are not devout Muslims, that crap is for the poor huddled masses just like most of our family value politicians are out cheating and drinking, 72 virgins in the afterlife? no thanks I'd rather have 6 whores in a Dubai 5 star hotel room. These leaders aren't looking for some grand Islamic rebirth they are looking for ways to stay in power and then transfer that power to their sons.

Â The point was that wars in that region do not need to be started due to miscalculation. Rather, the historical record is behind the concept of intentional aggression. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

DrFishfinder Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Don't underestimate the lethality of a buttered, fishing-pole toting goat. Â I did once. Â Once. Rod. Fishing r-o-d. A fishing pole is a piece of bamboo cane with some fishing line tied to the end of it. No self respecting goat, buttered or otherwise, would be carrying a fishing pole. Harumph.
