On the bright side, it is a sign that they are finding it harder to control the media.
They can't hold back the tide forever.

I'm not sure whether to praise them for killing off bloggers, or condemn for killing people who express themselves freely. :hmm: I am leaning towards the latter though.

The threat to attack Iran is very real to me, from Israel's threat if Obama is elected to President Bush's fleet exercises off their shores.

It feels wrong to think we could be doing their society a favor with a direct hit on their nuclear power for weapons program.

They would have to start all over again by over throwing the present regime and installing a pro-western president and cabinet.

Sort of feels redneck in a way, but what if it really happened?

We tried that already in 1953. Now look at where we are.

Because it is a ridiculously short sighted, hypocritical, dangerous excuse for a real foreign policy?

What was that Japanese emperor's name back in 45?
Emperor Hirohito I think ... Japan got the hint, unconditional surrender
