All George will do now is get on TV and address the nation saying that this was a blatant show of aggression and blackmail capital hill into giving him 200000 troops to go and invade.... It's all about the slick - just as in Iraq!
So what you're really saying is all he'll do is invade? Makes your first initial remark seem kinda cavalier.

I don't care for George Bush and his cabinet - Iran showing that they will not be bullied into stopping research into Nuclear Power is a show of solidarity. Like any other nation. Whether they have hostile intentions is another debate. The bank note is a nice way of telling George off. I like it! As for the way the country (Iran) is ruled - I feel for the people living in fear and prejudice. But is Iran really a threat to the region and us? The goverment that is? I think certain figures in the country and region post a threat and perhaps not all of us are clear if their nuclear research has anything to do with WMD - but it should not be a reason for George and the media to hype it out of proportion. Eskom makes use of Nuclear Power and we were never under scrutiny. Yes the country possibly has people staying there with hostile intent, but whether the Iranian powers that be are actually gonna launch WW3 - I'll be watching the Telly and after that be running to the hills if it does come our way...
thanks rpm

Any instability in the region has a major impact on us. One of our primary telecoms providers, MTN, is a major player in Iran. We still require Middle East oil and more importantly, when the oil price is affected, we are directly affected. Our economy can very very quickly be crippled if oil were to dip into the $100 range - a scary prospect for every oil consuming emerging economy in the world. Iran's defiance is, though cute at times, really looking to be pushing the boundary between gloating and provocation.
Ahhh. But you didn't post pictures did youpfft
Old news. I mentioned this last week.

I understand the concept that instabality in the region affects us all on a global level - but I think (and my thoughts aren't worth much nowadays
) that George and his crew will/have been using Iran's attempts at getting to grips with Nuclear Power, to create said instabality. The past has given George a good foothold so as to now create concerns about Iran's endeavours. Is it not likely that this instabality is being "created" and used to fuel George and his daddys oil interests in the region? - Dick Cheney also rides this wave. Just as with Iraq, George is looking to sustain the family business and that of wealthy friends by "rebuilding" after plundering.If he creates enough hype and gives us another fake photo-session at the UN as with the Iraq WMD factories (where are they now again?) Then he will have enough leeway to push troops into that region - he'll have to lay it on thick though - cos those troops of his in Iraq and their families at home are not likely to walk into another desert looking for trouble and then having to be car bombed.

Tis True
Um where? (or just another lie from the KB of alanf?)pfft

Of any country on the planet I wouldn't want to have nukes, Iran sits head and shoulders above everyone else.
Let them put it on their bank notes, as long as they're prepared to replace it with a crater in a year or so's time . . .

Yup it was lie.

Well your idea of lie
Politically GW is in the ****ter. He cannot justify an invasion on Iran and I suspect the Iranian leadership knows this - which might explain the constant "F$$k You America - we do what we want" attitude emanating from Tehran. Conversely, America might actually be fueling these outbursts to try and covertly get the international community to say: "Damn, these Iranians are a bunch of psycho bastards. I wish someone *nudge* America *nudge* would take them out already. But that's a very big stretch - I think my money's safe on the first one.I understand the concept that instabality in the region affects us all on a global level - but I think (and my thoughts aren't worth much nowadays
Yeah - this kind of goes with my second scenario painted above. I think the world has grown too skeptical of the Bush administration to be overly concerned with what Iran's up to. Personally I think we should be more concerned with that crazy Korean Elvis Impersonator. He is considerably more crazy - and he actually has a nuclear weapons program.
Yes and no. America cocked up in Iraq - and they and the whole world knows this. Cheney's biggest kickback is from weapons and therefore war, so I would guess he is the one pushing for Iranian invasion at the Sunday evening Bush dinner parties. We all know he's a cold bastard, and let's face it, anyone willing to wax his best pal in the face with birdshot demands at least some attention. The question is, who is listening though?
The problem the Bush's have is that rebuilding Iraq is not going all too well, and Iran is full of Anti-Americans, so an Iranian invasion will probably deliver even worse results.
The Iraqi invasion was not endorsed by the UN. The US defied most of the world and went against the UN when they invaded Iraq. If they really want to go into Iran, I don't think they'd even waste the honorable delegates present in the UN security council amphitheater of power to display blurry photos of milk trucks and goats carrying nuclear warheads. I think this time round they'd just go in. Shock and Awe and all that.
