preparing for a nuclear holocaust

Get those paper bags and school desks out!

Yep, that's the way to prepare, you just need to shove a bag over your head and hide under a desk - it won't protect you, but you'll feel like such an idiot doing it, you'll be laughing as you vaporise :)
 
Cool, now I can play Fallout for real! Great game, can't wait!

Yup - they're all power hungry warmongers. :rolleyes:

Oddly enough according to that article 47% "strongly disapprove" of Bush but hey lets ignore them and paint everyone with the same brush.

@bb_matt - I remember during the height of the cold war being in school going through those drills (sans the paper bag though). :eek: Did they have similar drills here?

EDIT - Looking at the poll results overall 60% of Americans disapprove of Bush's presidency.

A bit too late for that now ... the majority voted for him again even after being told he and his administration was lying about WMD in Iraq.

I am with you on this. If it was not for the power hungry war mongers then where would we have been. Fidel castro as world leader if it depends on this nation of ours or maybe Mugabe, Idi Amin, or the likes! Hehe Jokes aside Hitler or Lennon could then have been our masters!

I'm guessing you mean Lenin (Vladimir Ilich) - or do you really think the Beatles were out for a non-musical form of world domination :D

Back in the day when Germany were at war with almost everyone it made perfect sense to attack the nation.

We're talking about IRAN. A country that has NEVER waged war outside it's borders? Yet america wants to NUKE it? There has NEVER been conclusive proof that Osama Bin Laden led the terrorist attacks on america. There were no wmd in Iraq (there wasnt even a formidable army).

But I suppose some people in this world find it okay to kill innocent people after all they are arabs and as america proclaims... arabs are all evil and all want to crush western ideals.

IMHO George Bush is as bad as Lenin. IMHO if America attacks IRAN in this manner you can kiss my world and your world as we know it good bye.

Because the anti american sentiment that is brewing around the world is going to boil over. Remember pride comes before the fall.

its not about IRAN waging war its about IRAN making nuclear power stations...

another article about what western world leaders think
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4895212.stm

It is a follow-up to one he wrote in January 2005 in which he suggested that an air attack on Iran was possible. What is new is that he raises the prospect that such an attack might be nuclear in nature.

However, the problems of using a nuclear weapon would be so huge that few people are taking this seriously. The British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said the idea was "completely nuts".

"Nobody was advocating it, they were just saying a 100% guarantee. Where it becomes interesting, the joint chiefs, in one of its subsequent papers, wanted to withdraw that option because of course it's madness, a nuclear weapon in the Middle East to an Arab [sic] Muslim country, my God. And the White House won't withdraw.

I thought this was all about the fact that Iran is threatening to wipe Israel off the map and wanting to create nukes?

On the other hand they are the major funders of extremist Islamic terrorist groups. Must the world wait for a nuke to explode like 9/11 before they react?
If the Terrorists get hold of nukes it would be the end anyway and it is nuts to contemlate USA will use a nuke as first strike, they do not need to as all systems is designed to go off when a attack is detected as eminent or already started!
 
hey if you dont mind a black planet then support george bush. i am certainly happy that south africa doesnt...

imagine we wanted to build a power station and america threatens us with a nuclear strike. fun eh?

as far as i am concerned geroge bush is the biggest terrorist on earth and i do not believe for one second the man is a christian and next to mugabe they are 1 in the same.

i truly hope if Iran are atacked north korea or china manage to send a few nukes over to america. i am thinking washington dc and new york would be great. maybe if luck is on their side they can nail california too.

we can all have fun watching our world burn while celion dion sings love songs. all because of a defiant american southerner who is bent by greed.

they have announced that they WILL and they refuse to withdraw it even though almost every leader on earth is saying it's nuts.

i have no issue of america attacking if provoked but the sad tale here is that IRAN is being provoked and if america attack first i have no issue if america gets nuked by China, North Korea and other Eastern countries because sadly that is what will happen.

dont get me wrong either... i dont think all americans are evil. but the ones in power? i question their motives.
 
I Understand, That's what the majority in this country would say as we, our GVT, support Cuba, Gaddafi, Palestine, Mugabe etc etc. Anti Bush or for that matter USA, Anti British or Blair Thus Anti west as we knew it. So it is a common human phenomena to move with the pack, as can be seen on this forum, I stand on my own, have my own mind and convictions on this one!
 
Halicon, why are you objecting to a country being attacked that:

A) Supports terrorists groups

B) Are not using it for power but for nuclear weapons (this is a fact, just wait for IAEA report to UN Security Council)

C) Threatened to "wipe Israel off the map"

Yes the US might have other motives (oil) but if it gets rid of a mad-man then I'm all for it.
