Question mark. Says a guy from a country policing the world. 4,000 nukes in the hands of a hand-picked establishment president is more of a threat to the world than Iran. If you want a war, drive the Israelis out of Israeli occupied Palestine. And also if you want a war..I suppose you'd like to be the one doing the fighting. Don't wish for war unless you have already fought one, or are willing to die for an unjust cause. Or even die at the hands of the Chinese or Russians. You American people are hopeless. -Pete Disastrous for the world? Question mark.

People here don't even know how the government of Iran works much less how Ahmedinejad thinks. Only the propagande we are fed. Do some research and you will find out Ahmedinejad never threatened to wipe Israel off the map. I dare you to find out what he really said and what context it was in. There was no threat. In fact the words Israel, wipe, nor map were even used. Face it our government, politicians and media LIE ! They aren't protecting you they are using you for their own agenda and profit !

God never said he liked a long beard or living in the clouds. Jesus said the Kingdom of God is within us. I appreciate Darwin had the guts to question everything but I do not see how evolution explains adequately how new life forms originate. It is a hypothesis only. The fossil record does not show how increasingly complex forms came about ie the mechanism. The simplest life form has nearly 300 genes.

I mean, what if, the US & Co. were not really going for the oil in Iraq, Libya... Iran (next up), rather they decided that the supply of oil from these countris should be terminated, hence, leaving only those sources of crude which belong to allied regimes, like Saudi, Kuwait, etc. The US-Dollar is losing its reserve status and they are now going for control of the only commodity that really matters, a la, One ring to rule them all. Of the top 10 oil exporters, only Russia and Iran are antagonistic towards US & Co. If Iran has to be brought down it must be done before they develop nuclear capability or they will join the lonely member of the club of untouchable crude oil exporters i.e. Russia. I threw this idea at a couple of friends and they were of the opinon that at 150$ - 200$ (perhaps much more if the Strait of Hormuz is closed) a barrel the world economies would be crushed. To which my response was, they already are, who is really trying to save these economies anyways? And can they be saved? I dont think so, there will be a complete economic reset at some point anyways.

I think the 1% are motivated to save their own asses rather than suicide. I invite their Scrooge conversions to discover what's possible; the embrace of virtue and love rather than fearful suicide/quitting the game. But that's their call, each and every one. I'm just providing a powerful alternative that they're already familiar with in stories. There’s much more to Jim Jones than reported by the same lying 1% corporate media.

Besides the fact no reader has the time to learn our personal beliefs, nobody cares. Let's try to focus and keep the cognitive dissonance to a low roar.

The warmongering Israel is criminal insane!
