That's just what the Middle East needs right now, another war.
The "at least 50 nukes" talk on the RN thread is heartening..

I am no pacifist, but my own family history has had its share of suffering from war. My own Grandfather fought in the failed Greek campaign in Smyrna which led to millions of people being dispalced from ancestral homelands in the 1920s...my Grandmother gave birth to my Aunt in a hospital in Alexandria as Axis forces dropped bombs...my Great-Grandmother lived in Greece during the German occupation, and the civil war that followed. My Dad worked on salvaging the wrecks of ships in the Suez. My own sister had to get home on foot to Queens from Mid-Manhattan on 9/11 all while my Brother-in-Law tried to contact her. His own parents were Hungarian refugees in 1956, his father was in the Hungarian army at the time and crossed over to Austria with many dozens following him as he knew were the landmines were.

We should be ready for war, but no more eager than a surgeon who must amputate a limb.

Don't amputate and the surgeon knows death is certain. I suspect the surgeon would be eager to amputate. To use your analogy, don't fight and subjugation is certain.

What C means is that I take the word coward seriously and don't throw it around. Paper tigers shouldn't either.

Distasteful, disfiguring, and only to be undertaken when there is no better alternative. Not to be considered lightly, in other words.
That might be what he was going for..

bleh, semantics, semantics

Putin has this strange ability to pull the funniest of faces in some photographs...particularly ones with him and Bush.

Call me a Warmonger if you wish but all the PCness and wishing in the world is not gonna bring peace in the middle east.

Striping what life there is down ,in the middle east ,to bear minimum may take the spot light off...until they repopulate.

We all know the Muslims(add here what ever flavor Muslim you desire) know nothing but pure force to get a deal done.
They cant even stop killing each other in there quest for paradise.
If you wish to continue your denial, that is your fault.

They all run around saying 'Peace Peace' before sudden destruction.

I have been away awhile and visited a few fellow soldiers who have returned from overthere...I'm hearing a different story than what the Media is putting out for you to digest.

I suggest you talk to the soldier who has had to make the patrols in the streets. Then lets see if you have the gall to call him a liar...

I will go back to lurking now.

Australia? Hardly a hotbed of Religious extremism...nah, if we use every nuke in the world on Iran and the other Middle Eastern problem areas, then it'll solve them, Nuclear disarmament, Global Warming and if timed right could move us a little closer to Mars and make the space race to get there a bit shorter!! :lol:
