Is something wrong with me or what's this with half a dozen politicians acting as complete morons on the same day? Threat Iran with Israel, publicly, from the mouth of an EU politician?... I don't know how to qualify this utter diplomatic disaster.

Re: World (4.00 / 2)

I know. Staggering isn't it ? He's more or less given Israel a pre-emptive permission slip from the EU. Maybe they should bomb Lebanon as well, just in case. I'm sure there's a NATO tower or two they can take out.

What is it with some people that seem to think Israel should just be able to bomb what it likes, when it likes without any useful justification whatsoever ? It's like the US NIE never happened.

Re: World (none / 1)

Are you telling me that the US/Israel doesn't have carte blanche to bomb the crap out of whomever, whenever we feel like it? Since when?

I'm an American and we can do ANYTHING we want, so GET USED TO IT!

Republicans rule!!! Booze and hookers for everyone! WOOOO!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: Speaking of Iran (none / 1)

no thanks. I've read enough to know what it shows and I'm really not interested in death-porn.

The first few scenes (none / 1)

are about the 1979 hostage crisis. I found that especially revealing.
