"A few thoughts for those who think engaging Iran militarily would be disastrous for America

I keep seeing comments illuding to some type of mythical devastation for America if it engages Iran (and possible Iranian allies) militarily.

Apparently there are a few people around who still don't quite comprehend the true strength and might of the United States of America. I'm unsure if it comes from actual stupidity and ignorance, or just a refusal to acknowledge the truth because you don't want to flatter a country you hate.

Quite frankly, the U.S. if backed by other nations (which it would be) could annihilate Iran and it's buddies just as easily as they obliterated Iraq's entire former government. If you disagree, you're naive and hardly perceptive of actual reality."


... comments "illuding" to ... ? Hmmm.

fweshcawfee carries on further from there ... but my mouse refused to capture the rest of the text, presumably 'cause it somehow registered that fweshcawfee is a total douchebag and mouse figured "fuck it ... that's enough of that shit."

I occassionally read ATS ... news can be very late breaking and frankly some of the stuff there is flat-out hilarious. The conspiracy offerings, not to mention the "OMFG I saw a UFO!!!!111" stories are often good for a laugh.

But reading the above insanity ... well, in the words of Lewis Black "my teeth tried to reach around and eat my brain!"

Here's the original link: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread304715/pg1 if you're interested.

the principles of America, the America we grew up believing in. Not literally the country, the post offices and stop signs, but the soul of America. It would destroy us just as surely as rounding up and detaining citizens without charging them with a crime, without access to counsel, no phone call, for the rest of their lives would strike a blow to our heart as a nation.

Now I'm depressed.

One of the replies posed the position that the OP was "... an intelligent person using satire ..."

Gods I hope so.

That whole "illuding" thing makes me fairly doubtful, though.

And they're pretty much kicking his ass. What a dummy.

14-pages of replies, and the ones I read at the tail are ... oh fuck it. I'm still depressed.

And Iraq is still occupied.

George W. Quagmire Bush, and the loyal Bushies, will do what they can to instigate attacking Iran. PUHLEEEEZE move to impeach, Good Sir Mr. K.

Damn. I need a hug. Or something.
