You will be warned. No further discussion is needed on this matter.

First we most see what is going on right now in the middle east.

US is becoming increasingly direct to the situation with Iran.

I will not be surprised that US decided to take over the problem in Iran and target their nuclear plants.
Originally posted by marg6043
But in order to do that with the unhappiness of the American people about what is going on in Iraq he needs to win support.

Then we need to understand that Al-qaida is still deemed a thread, but the reality is that the whole middle east population has never been friends of the US and never will that makes all of them possible enemies of the US.
Originally posted by marg6043
So yes as long as US has enemies around the world we can have the possibility of having another attack.

Now look at the situation with south America, because US is busy in the middle east it has forgotten to keep alliances with the government of South America and many of them are turning into communist countries like China for support.

REPLY: What??? The economy is going through the roof, and the national debt is only 3.5% of the GDP. Do the research.

....... I almost thought I had written your response. 8^) The matter of Iran is indeed an upcoming isssue, but America has let the U.N. and E.U try to do things the way of negotiating and probably soon appeasement, but you know as well as i that it just won;t work.

War is never the first response, but never in history has peace been the outcome of anything but victory.... that's just the way it is.

I agree with you zappafan, uh oh, I think we opened a whole new can of worms... Do you know how many members are going to start emailing each other and saying "they both work for the government, they both work for the government"?.....
Some of them might even claim we are one and the same person.....
Anyways, back to the topic, i hope the situation with Iran is solved, and soon, because we know that Israel is not going to take any chances of being "wiped off the map."
I do not like wars, and I do not wish them upon anyone. I wish there were ways to solve everything without them, but wishes are not reality, and that is something that a lot of people don't seem to understand.
It is true that violence begets more violence, but what are you going to do? Let your enemies destroy your family and you without a fight? That's not an option imo, but some members around here believe it is an option....

I've seen and read about thousands of technical jobs getting outsourced overseas. Many if not most people believe the US economy is becoming a service economy. I believe that is bad news. The national debt used to be shrinking but it has increased by another trillion in the last few years.

And on the note of anthrax, anyone that didn't keep updated with that whole thing should know that the Washington Post, among others, reported that the anthrax was traced back to a U.S. military plant. And yes, the US was (and probably still is) breaking international treaty by producing the weapon.
So that wasn't Iraqi anthrax,

actually... if it was American Anthrax strain... then i would strongly lean towards Iraq, as we would have given it to them during the iran iraq war... afterall, we almost gave them frikin nukes...
