"I heard this sort of resentment all over Iran, in the poorest shanty towns and in the wealthy enclaves of north Tehran: Why are we helping the Arabs, why are we spending billions rebuilding Beirut and even more billions winning control of southern Iraq and western Afghanistan, why are we financing Hamas and Hezbollah and Iraq's Mahdi Army, when our own poverty and unemployment is overwhelming?"

Pack o' filthy welfare queen moonbat liberals is what they are. A bunch of Defeatocrats and Peaceniks. Let's hope Ahmadinejad doesn't listen to these crazy wackos. Iran's fighting a war against The Great Satan, here. They can't burden themselves with disaster relief and balanced budgets. I can imagine the Iranian No-Fly list just got a whole lot longer.

While I appreciate the humor Zifnab, you are waaaaayyy off.

BTW, you do understand there is a difference, right? What am I saying? You're a leftist. You don't understand anything!

I forget what this week's talking points are. Is Iran a nation of backwards savages who hate the very notion of freedom and only take off their self-imposed manacles in order to whip themselves (and should therefore be be nuked into blackened glass and stirring phantoms), or are they an oppressed yet cosmopolitan people yearning to breathe free (and should therefore be subjected only to conventional bombing)?

Scar, I don't even need to say anything. You just owned yourself with that stupid post.

Mm, I don't see how. I've heard both versions. Are you saying that nobody's stated either?

For the record, I support the latter viewpoint, minus the bombing of course.
