Stop Teh Irans Getting Zomg Bombs!

BBC NEWS | World | Middle East | US imposes new sanctions on Iran

[JPreston]

Just as soon as Cheney gets on the other end of the Oval Office intercom and pretends to be the voice of God talking again.

[IBM]

I figure it's the only way America can sustain the economy, to remain on a high alert/war status.

Without those billions driving the economy, it'll all come down like a house of cards in Katrina...

[Lucio]

What gets me is that all the Iranian's want is to be left alone and run their country the way they want to. All this talk about how we must stop the unjust treatment of other human beings and "better" their lives is just colonialism by another face!

[Stoo]

Sanctions! (but we won't stop the oil, 'cos we need it..)

*blink*

I wonder what happens if they turn around and say "fine, we won't sell our oil to American companies then.".

Oh yeah, they invade to over-throw the poor oppressed people.. "OMG, think of teh kittiez! *sad face*"

Or something..

I'm not really awake yet..

[UltraMagnus]

America is getting too big for its boots really.... Bush seems to have completely forgotten all his fathers mistakes...

Yeah, all the poor ikkle Iranians want is to get on with their lives, while Mahmoud 'Israel should be wiped off the map' Ahmadinejads finger hovers over the nuclear button, and British and American troops get killed by Iranian design IEDs.

LETS JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE AND LET THEM DO IT OK!1!

[Brucelles]

It is kind of pathetic when you analyse it.

They don't want Iran to gain nukes because they might use them. Who's the only country to have used nukes to kill people?

They accuse Iran of supporting terrorism:
in Iraq - Legitimate resistance to an occupation army.
In Palestine - resistance to an occupation army. (legitimate, but occasionally appalling)
In Lebanon - Well, OK. Semi-legitimate, still opposing an illegal occupation army.
Afghanistan - I don't know much about that one, but I'll bet it's not so clear cut as the yanks say it is.

"These actions will help to protect the international financial system from the illicit activities of the Iranian government," Ms Rice said.

Bollocks. That's crap. It's pure politics and will just pee off the RG without achieving anything. They don't try to mess with the "international banking system" because it would be pointless without a shedload of cash. Tens of Billions.

If any group of people need sanctions it is the President and Vice-President of the USA for being such a bunch or warmongering a-holes.

Well. Ahmadinejad's finger may hover, but it's nowhere near any nukes button, as they don't have any.

As I have said before, if we don't want British and American troops killed they shouldn't be occupying a foreign country following an aggressive invasion that killed anywhere up to a million innocent people. For oil. Because our Prime Minister lied to us.

Wasn't this one of the catalysts for Germany starting the second world war ? (boosting their economy).

[Stewart]

Well. Ahmadinejad's finger may hover, but it's nowhere near any nukes button, as they don't have any.

But they are taking the first steps, and a country with a leader who says the sort of things Ahmadinejad has been saying has to be stoped before its taken enough steps to build the bomb.

Thank you George Galloway.

And regardless, you may notice we are not occupying Iran. If Iran is already fighting a proxy war against the Brits and Yanks, then alls fair in love and war.

Fire up the B52s I say.

Either the long range strategic bombers, or the rock band from Georgia.

Every side in this situation is engaged in clandestine activity against each other. It's been going on for a long, long time - that's politics. No country (including the West) ever comes up smelling of roses if you analyse its activities in this kind of theatre.

My opinion (I could be wrong) is that we won't see overt U.S. military action against Iran yet.. more likely, I think, is an Israeli strike perhaps using (let's say borrowed) specialised weapons technology against any site in Iran that looks like it fits the bill. I don't think that'll happen in the immediate future, but what do I know?

[Blitzen]

Still never ceases to amaze me how people bleat on and on about the 'unjust' wars that the USA/UK wage. Especially by people that have never actually been directly involved.

We really aren't alot different from Israel you know.

They are a Western Culture stuck out in the middel east surrounded by fanatics and fundamentalists.

We are a nation stuck in Europe surrounded by 'surrender monkeys' and countries that bury their heads in the sand.

TBH...I think the the UK, Holland, Spain and Poland should form their own state as traditionally they are the only 4 countries in Eurpe that have EVER had courage of their own convictions.

[Stewart]

Yeah, bloody Sadam lovin Liberal snides.

Go and live in Iran if thats how you feel. You can be part of the human shield, holding hands with Galloway and Abu Hamza.

Well, not hands... you can grasp his hook.

[directhex]

why did we go to war?

You've never done much European History then ?
