When Russia and China get on your case "Iran" you better listen.

Cripes some of you people give the impression of being really bloodthirsty warmongers....

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.

Are you such a coward that you cannot say the word coward?

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

That response means little or nothing. Thank you for your efforts.
