You're turning into a crazy Dr.F before my eyes.

Hey Majid, I always asssumed you were Indian. Are you Pakistani or Persian???
Can you speak the language? Or read it?

Umm, they speak several different languages in each of Pakistan and Iran - and although Arabic is spoken in both, the main languages are Farsi (Iran) and Urdu and English (Pakistan).

Look, Anders, I realize that, I don't need an arrogant Canadian to point this out to me. I was implying that maybe Majid had some foreign text he would like to share, from whatever dialect he can interpret.
The point is, you could have enlisted over two decades ago to fight the Muslims you despise so; yet when reminded of this simple fact, you accuse me of wishing you had died in Vietnam.
Yes, it is all my fault. I should have enlisted. All would be well now.
Damn it!!!

Yes, Jim - these things are often more complex than us westerners can imagine, whether it's Korea and the war there, or the bewildering ethnic, national, tribal, cultural and language diversity of south and southwest Asia. I mentioned Korea because it might have been a war where the US was authorized by congress to fight in, as required by the constitution, without a formal declaration of war. An oddity. The exceptions are often quite educational.
To take just one of many examples, the UN worked very well when the US led a (real) coalition to liberate Kuwait in 1990 - 91. Most of the good work of the UN and its affiliated agencies has nothing to do with diplomacy and war, though it performs an essential service there also.

I suspect that Majids language is Farsi Bluie and he's Iranian. The middle east is full of dictators (OK, so we bought and paid for them as in we sent over tax money from everyone and subsidized the gasoline for automobiles) Hosni Murbak has been in power for over 30 years. What does that alone tell you?
This most likely ain't gonna end well. It's said that the Egyptian gov't is shutting down the internet there to try and stem the tide. Should be an interesting thing to watch. My advice, buy a fuel efficient car and a nice bicycle. Majid, I realize you are Persian and not an Arab (I think, but this is only based on a few internet posts we've never met as far as I know) but I'd like to hear your view if you feel like sharing it.
Warm regards my brothers.

Has to be tense for those folks over there. Murbak flew his family out to the US and safety, but the US has left all of our diplomatic personal over there....can't be too serious. Right?! I mean, they would know. Like we knew in 79? Right Majid? LOL!

Wind down our dependence on oil, responsbly withdraw most of our non humanitarian $$$ and military, and mostly pull out.
We've done a terrific job of promoting anti-Americanism and encouraging terrorism by promoting Americanism and fighting terrorism.

Dingus, you should add absolutely no contractors in any combat, protective, or intelligence roles to insure proper war resourcing and to avoid the disincentives created by a two-tier hybrid military force.

Please do not try to insult me by implying ignorance.
I'd have considered it, but then you posted this before I could:
De-fund the UN, bring our boyz home, and just send missiles.
Pretty hard to comply when you're blowing two out of three out your ass.

P.S. If the U.S. really wanted to defuse Iranian nuclear ambitions and see democracy flourish throughout Iran with an attending waning of the clerics' influence we could do it off-the-shelf and a way cheaper than any military solution. We'd simply carpet bomb the country with a half million or so of these (with appropriate power adapters and a solar charger) and then sit back and write big monthly checks to AT&T:
Terrastar Satellite Smartphone
and not these
GBU-28 Bunker Buster

Conduit for the devil? Hell, that's can't be true. Why the official report said Dick was performing an exorcism on his friend with that 28--gauge. He's no friend of the devil.
