I'm sure the Japs killed millions ,Germans killed millions ,and we sure put a stop too that didn't we. The carpet bombing we did in Vietnam, we couldn't hit s--t because they forgot how to win a war. I'm sure we killed more trees and water buffalo than any thing else. The Viet Kong killed more civilians than we can count.

Default And by the way

Don't think for a moment, that these nut job countries, aren't plotting how to plant a nuke on us, and get away with it without being turned into a sheet of green glass.

I see your point, but under that criteria, every government on earth (except maybe switzerland) could be labelled as "terrorist" at one time or another.

The Swiss' hands are just as dirty as the rest of ours. Switzerland is a lovely country and the people are fantastic, but I'm not sure where we got the idea of it being the home of clock-making saints.

Welcome back to the Cold War. Remember talking nicely to tyranny won't stop it.

Iran turning to search for new uranium deposits,

in country now that first nuclear plant up.TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said Wednesday it is making the search for new uranium deposits in the country a top priority now that it has started up its first in a planned network of nuclear power plants.

The head of Iran's atomic energy agency did not explain why Iran was intensifying the exploration at home. Tehran has in the past denied its uranium stockpile was running low, as some international nuclear experts have concluded.

Switzerland Too! They are violating that whole "No Mercenaries" law, and their country is well fortified.

IAEA: Iran still enriching uranium

(CNN) -- In defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions, Iran continues its uranium enrichment activities, according to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency released Monday.

At its nuclear facility in Natanz, Iran estimated that between November 23 and August 6, it produced 995 kilograms (2,194 pounds) of low enriched uranium, which can be used as fuel for nuclear reactors or, if enriched further, for nuclear weapons, as many governments fear.

I wonder how many scientists and engineers will want to call off work while working there.

Iran 'hampers work of IAEA investigators'

he UN nuclear watchdog says Iran has hindered its investigations by repeatedly objecting to the agency's choice of inspectors.

In a confidential report seen by the BBC, the International Atomic Energy Agency says it cannot confirm that Iran's nuclear programme is peaceful.

The IAEA says Iran has continued to produce low-enriched uranium, despite fresh UN Security Council sanctions.

The US and its allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons.

I take your point but I doubt they are given any such choice.
