Iran War Derangement
- Posted by Justin Higgins on November 23rd, 2007 in
We have plenty of reasons to expect air strikes against Iran. Their longstanding support of Hezbollah is one reason. The fact that they've been sending IEDs and weaponry into Iraq to help the former "insurgency" is another. One leftist is now so fearful of an attack on Iran that he's threatening to withhold tax money if we decide to go to war:
I will not pay my income tax if we go to war with Iran. I realize this is a desperate and perhaps futile gesture. But an attack on Iran--which appears increasingly likely before the coming presidential election--will unleash a regional conflict of catastrophic proportions. This war, and especially Iranian retaliatory strikes on American targets, will be used to silence domestic dissent and abolish what is left of our civil liberties. It will solidify the slow-motion coup d'état that has been under way since the 9/11 attacks. It could mean the death of the Republic.
This article was written by a man named Chris Hedges. Who is he? He's a former New York Times reporter and the former Middle East bureau chief in the 1990s. Hedges is no stranger to controversy, going as far as to call Christians fascists, and write an entire book about it. Hedges is a deranged opponent to a war that we're not in, and worse off, it's a war we'd have good reason to be fighting.
I don't think-
-Israel's enemies are our enemies. Or shouldn't be. Tell me when Hezbollah has killed one American citizen on US soil. That's a privilege extended only to US allies, just ask poor Ronni Moffitt's family.
And if Iran used a nuke, that would be the end of them, so don't worry about it. The minute one nuke flies out from Iran, or some alleged suitcase bombs gets traced back to them, that country becomes a parking lot. They know it, as the US has been using the threat of bombing and nuking since the end of WW2. Which is why we've only been attacked by people who don't have standing uniform armies and countries to level.
Typical Cao crap
Who are you quoting, Cao?
And it's always hilarious to see just how impotent you are in any discussion you take part in. As usual, you can't construct a rational argument... so you trot out the exterminationist rhetoric.
The terrorists have already won as far as you concerned, Cao. They've successfully terrified you into accepting the delusion that they are coming for you to cut off your head.
How amusing... Kender lecturing someone on sanity...
The defense of our country is always acceptable. The question is: How to defend it? Only those who love war above all else (without, of course, actually having to take any meaningful part in the country's defense) automatically equate the defense of this country with waging war.
Meaty is a typical commie
"There is no terrorist threat"...
I just hope the head hackers go to his house, first.
Hey look, it's meatbrain the
Hey look, it's meatbrain the liar, lying again. I'm shocked!
So leaving iran alone is a sane move?
When, meaty, is defense of the our country acceptable to you? Should we wait until we are facing a nuclear armed enemy? Should we ignore the fact that iran has been supporting our enemies in iraq and supporting hezbollah for years?
Just when would we actually fight for our survival under a meaty run world of pussy moves and cowardly stances?

That's right folks. Only people who are in favor of war -- any war -- are sane.
Anyone who opposes this country entering yet another war is CRRAAAZZZZYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
Thus spake Justin Higgins, who sanely told us that war is good because it makes his history class much more interestng.
God help this country. There are actually people like Justin Higgins growing up in it.
