Topic: Iran may have acquired Nuclear War Heads.

So your source here is a blog? Seems a lot of speculation and hearsay here. Where are the facts? Personally I am way more worried about Pakistan right now. They already do have nuclear warheads and we do know that for sure and the place is crawling with Al Quaida. I'll second that, although it's no...

Re: Iran may have acquired Nuclear War Heads.

Too serious to ignore, even if just a rumor. Report: Iran Has Acquired Nuclear-Capable Warheads http://punditpress.blogspot.com/2011/06/report-iran-has-acquired-nuclear.html Even though it's likely this isn't true today, the reality is that without some kind of much more direct action on our part, ...

The U.S. spent years and millions of dollars looking for you-know-who. Do we have the same resources and time to find Mr. Gaddafi? I'm sure there are plenty of guys like those here that would be more than willing to help out. Put 50 million on his head and see how many of his generals are loyal and...

Then Columbine happened. The shooters were huge video game fans (and geeks). Especially of the game Doom by id software - the precursor of Quake. They had web pages dedicated to it and the news jumped all over this! Which was completely blown out of proportion by certain media outlets. Literally EV...

I'd like to think that some good will come out of the latest uprisings. You would think the Arabs that have lived in the west a few years might get a few ideas for back home. I'm disappointed by the Syrian president, the guy was studying medicine in England when he got the call to replace his fathe...

Rest assured, had a Republican done what Barack has done, Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myself) would be screaming for his head. And there I'd quite agree with you. I don't consider myself part of the media. I think Bush's decision to go into Iraq was a good one, despite any laundry list of...

I'll not respond here beyond repeating: "How we go about our work is sometimes as important as the result to which we aspire." It matters to our system of government. And as I describe below, it matters to getting the work done. And I suppose this is the heart of our dissent. I agree that it matter...

You are weighing the morality of the past through the Zeitgeist of today. No, read further. I stated that the founders in the past, as you observed, had bigger concerns than abolishing slavery, namely their own survival as a nation. I simply observed that was fair then it's fair now. Stopping a gen...

See, if President Obama had stirred himself enough to list the three points above, and some others are available I'm sure, before the attack he could have convinced me intervention was the right thing for the United States. And if why does it matter so much when they are brought to your attention? ...

How is Canadian intervention in Libya in Canada's best interest? Canada's national security rests nearly 100% on the efforts and good will of it's allies. That extends to France and Italy, both of whom very strongly insist that Libya's troubles are also their own. America has also deployed it's ass...

Where has extreme patriotism entered this discussion? By basing nearly your entire argument on your interpretation of a single quote from a founder of the nation. Write what off? Which explanation? Reject what application today? Your quoting of John Adams as it applies to slavery. Where did the lib...

Evidently, we do not agree on the fundamental principle I quoted: "We are the friends of liberty everywhere. We are the guardians only of our own." - John Adams Accordingly, our reasoning ends up in very different places. Indeed we do not. Do you interpret Adams 'we' refers to each of us as individ...

I don't mean to start a branch, but... I don't quite see how WWIII to 'liberate' China is gonna be a clear net gain for humanity, I think the suffering might outweigh the gains there, no? It's like the Kim Jong-Il issue, only the people aren't suffering a fraction as much and the losses are almost ...

I don't expect you to care for the imperatives of U.S. law. Expect U.S. citizens to care about them, though. Mind me if I don't hold my breath while I wait. I'll predict that 99% of the people interpreting the law as allowing Obama to do what he did support the action in Libya and 99% of those inte...
