Iran

The Iranian flag.

There’ve been rumors floating about that Iran might be the next country to get a firm talkin’ to by the United States military.

Because things have been going so well in Iraq so far, I thought I’d provide a bit of numeric perspective.

Populations:

  • Iraq: About 25,000,000
  • Iran: About 68,000,000
  • California, Texas, and New York state together: About 74,000,000
  • Afghanistan: About 29,000,000
  • France: About 60,000,000
  • Great Britain: About 60,000,000

Iran is about the 17th most populous nation on the planet right now. (Iraq: about 45th.)

Area:

  • Iraq: About 170,000 square miles
  • Iran: About 640,000 square miles
  • Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California together: About 650,000 square miles
  • Afghanistan: About 250,000 square miles
  • France: About 210,000 square miles
  • Great Britain: About 94,000 square miles

Iran is (coincidentally) also the 17th largest nation on the planet right now. (Iraq: about 57th.)

My Wikipedia skills are unstoppable, but that’s not my point. I don’t really have a point. Except to say that Iran doesn’t appear to be some piddly little nation we can subdue with a pile of bombs and some special ops dudes in wetsuits. It’s a huge chunk of well-populated land about the size and population of Texas, California, and states betwixt. And that’s what makes me (even more) nervous…

HERE's YER FREAKIN TITLE

Hi Jeili.

You are so busted.

Teehee.

Nope

No way is the US going to invade Iran. The military is currently spread too thin, occupying both Afghanistan and Iraq, and the political backlash from the invasion of Iraq practically guarantees that Congress won't declare war even if the president wants to (which I don't think he does).

Huh? What the.....?

I think that it would be really easy to invade Iran and would be a good thing to just go through the whole region to spread democracy. We would have a three side front against them from the persian gulf we would have easy air support and easy acsess from Neighbor Iraq and Afghanistan which we occupy already.

WAt!!

I may be alone on this, but I say Iran is way out of line. They are trying to pick a fight. Why? What have we done to Iran? I think they are a chicken s--t country. They need to return the Brits, or face severe concequences.

Nothing a few well placed nukes can't fix.

Look guys
who needs to invade when a few nukes can take out the bad Iranian's while freeing the rest.
Why spill good american blood when a little bomb could do the trick?

It would be a waste of time for the USA to blow up Iran there is nothing there. It would take one afternoon for us to blow your country into the stone age without the use of nukes with no troop loss and no troops on the ground. We have no interest in killing Iranians so stop the madness

wake up

I wish you could all stop and think !!!

We know there has always been a big bully in the playground (super power) in this case America and to some degree UK,
The US and UK want to control the world economy (oil) to keep the dollar and pound strong, if it wasnt the US it would be Russia, Germany or france etc - THIS IS THE GAME !!!
In the next 10 years there is gonna be mass shortages of gas and oil-
THE DOUBLE EDGE SWORD
1.The shortages of Oil in the world will eventually cause panic and then wars,loss of life on both sides and even bigger problems than any one can imagine ie further irreversible destruction to OUR plannet.

The answer is in the common people not the controling governments of the world, If the same train of thought could be had by all then the powers that be would have to listen !!!
lets kill them approach isnt helpful

2.If the US and UK attack/squeeze iran (I doubt invasion) this war will cause loss of life on both sides and even bigger problems than any one can imagine ie further irreversible destruction to OUR plannet.

THE ANSWER A SUPER WORLD STATE BUT NOT LIKE ZEITGEIST THE MOVIE (watch online)
We need to think and interact on an intelligent level share resorces and reduce population through child birth in turn relaxing the demand for resorces,

Oh boy

TO ALL OF THE AMERICAN RETARDS ON THIS BLOG PLEASE READ THIS WHILE REMINDING YOURSELF OF THE FACT THAT NO EMPIRE IN HISTORY HAS LASTED MORE THAN 300 YEARS ON AVERAGE. THE SOVIETS FELL. GEEZ ARE WE NEXT???? I HOPE OUR SUPERIORITY NEVER ENDS BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT SURE LOOKS LIKE WERE DOING SOME STUPID THINGS. ASK YOURSELF THIS WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN YOU DRIVE YOUR PARENTS CAR DOWN TO THE GROCERY STORE AFTER WATCHING THE HILLS ON MTV AND THERE IS NO FOOD THERE???? WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU OR YOUR PARENTS LOSE YOUR/THEIR JOB TO A SUPERIOR FOREIGN COMPANY AND YOUR NOW HOMELESS. OH MY GOSH..... WHAT AM I GOING TO DO YOU'LL SAY. I KNOW MOM AND DAD WILL SAVE ME AND IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN LETS NUKE THE WORLD TO GET WHAT WE NEED. YEAH THATS IT!!!!

EVERY PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!

When are people going to realize that atomic weapons are not the answer to every problem. Why is it our military policy should be any different from our car driving policy going down the highway in America. I know that seems ridiculous but think about it for just a second. Driving is a very complex activity that requires a buttload of different skills to do effectively.

WOULD IT BE ACCEPTABLE TO PRE-EMPTIVELY GET OUT OF YOUR CAR AT A STOPLIGHT AND BLOW SOMEONES HEAD OFF WITH SHOCK AND AWE FROM YOUR 9mm IF HE IS PERCEIVED AS A THREAT TO YOUR IN CAR SECURITY EVEN THOUGH HE HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU.

IMAGINE WATCHING SOMEONE DO JUST THAT TO ANOTHER PERSON. HOW WOULD THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? WOULD YOU ACCEPT THAT AS LIFE AND MOVE ON? WHAT WOULD YOU DO ABOUT THAT?

Im sure most of you would be so scared to death by the homicidal maniac that just blew someone away that you would speed off as fast as possible and I wouldn't blame you. There probably would be a few people though who would be brave enough to stand up and try to stop the maniac and protest the behavior.

Now think about Frances stance to the US invading Iraq in 2003.

Think about that and then think about our beloved US foreign policy practices that we have been so mind numbingly brainwashed into accepting without question and ask yourself if you behaved like our government does while driving or dealing with others how long do you think you would be alive or free from imprisonment.

The sad part about America is that every person has an inner sense of entitled behavior and acts as if they are superior to the world yet the vast majority of those same arrogant people have not left the country and even though they disapprove of the current governments domestic and foreign activity either do not know or are to preoccupied with ridiculous bullshit to do anything to change our situation. Most people in America do not realize how interconnected everything and everyone is. They work to survive yet dont realize that they are slaves to a a system that forces them to work to keep them occupied and uninformed about how to change things so a select few can have everything.

WE ONLY RESPOND TO WHAT WE SEE.

IMO the problem is simply that most people are not educated as decision makers on an international level and we are not aware of or simply do not care about the rules of the world while we are living our time as Americans. We leave the "BIG DECISIONS" up to the big senator man from the rich neighborhood on the other side of town who youve heard is a drunk and cheats on his wife because he is related to your buddies gf. Its that disconnected yet knowing something is probably wrong system that is what is killing us softly.

It was not supposed to be like this. Your not supposed to be living the way you are accepting this system as acceptable. We as a nation cannot continue on this path we need to wake up and take responsibility for ourselves and our impact for the world before the karma we are generating swallows us whole.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE INFORM YOURSELF BE RESPONSIBLE BE OPEN MINDED DON'T BE A DOUCHEBAG AND THINK YOU DON'T MATTER.... YOU MATTER.


amazing...

It amazes me how proud and we are becoming of our own heritige and government when obviously we cannot pick our race or where we come from, and at this point we have no control of what our government is doing either, most of us don't even know what is really going on. And yet we hear millions of people protesting on things they know nothing about, they just heard it on tv most likley, and thought that didn't sound so great. I love both the USA and Iran, but peace on earth is becoming dangerously unrealalistic because of one thing, our human instinks, if we could get past things easyer than we would be more succsesfull. But right now, our hearts are telling us that we need to be better than everyone else. And dominance is somthing that cannot be shared. Think about it this way, if you were american would you still think that america is full of idiots that only care about themselves? and if you were Irainian, would you still think that america needs to invade? probably not. I think it is selfish to group an entire country together, whether it be Iran or america, because lets face it, it was not america that has made any of our decisions including declaring war, it was Bush.
