The problem is that the Iranians realize that only by becoming a nuclear state can they defend themselves -

Well, it's been working great for Corea the last few years, so what did you expect?

But damn was that out of context man

At least I made it to 2000. What an accomplishment! :Smug:

*gives you a trophy*

Congratulations, now you can finally feel good about yourself!

Now make it 2000 more.

La Rocque- Do you feel it is necessary to take action against Iran?

 

[La Rocque]

^ Absolutely not, the USA just *gave* the nuclear technology that Iran now has and much more to India
Who the hell do they think they are to say who has what in this world -

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

But they do have the most powerful military in the world.

 

[La Rocque]

Then why can't they bring peace and a new government to Iraq?
Its been 3 years -

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

Do you really believe in the fairy tales they tell? Peace and new government... they are just excuses to the slave state they'll create for their own economical and political purposes. And as you know, slave states are harder to establish.

Oooo, you know your stuff

That and we got rid of their democratic government 50 years ago because they wouldn't let us steal their oil anymore...

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

As far as I know, you can't have ideals with the existence of a state, even with a democratic one. To place the power into a small group of people is no way to get what you want. But without one we would either be anarchists, which we aren't civilized enough for, or savages, who are unable to decide on one single thing as a society. Maybe some better system is to be found in the future?

I don't believe anything the USA government says, time has taught me they are nothing but liars and Bush will go down in history as the worse US president ever.
But something good is going to happen as the result of all of this, the Republicans will loss the majority in the House and Senate come the mid term elections
So I guess their military is not the most powerful?

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

Their military is still the most powerful, just they try not to catch attention in their own country with it. If WWIII should be, then US has the most chance to win it. It is costy, but they have the money for it, in technology and in human ressource.

If not, who is the most powerful military in the world?

 

[Zack]

I actually think China is, but that's just on the man power they have

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

China could defend itself at best. They wouldn't go putting pressure on other countries, not yet.

 

[Zack]

I think they will be very powerful in the near future. I think the US is also sort of "afraid" of them, considering all the support we give India so they are on our side.

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

US would very much like to park their navy on Taiwan, and they are selling weapons to Taiwan too, to get it on their side. And they would like to see Tibet as an independent country too.

 

[Zack]

Yup, that's one of the reasons they don't want to go to war with Iran. They fear if they do so, China will see them as stretched to thin and take Taiwan.

Religions have no fundament: the inerrant texts and unchallenged holies of any faith are the work of men and time

men and time are fundaments of sorts.

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

But what weird absurdity would it be if men should become the fundament of time?
