It’s a shame of what is happening in the Middle East. Yes the USA is a bully in the world to show who is the global police. Granted that if the Middle eastern countries don’t like the west then let them survive on their own!

From Pakistan to Saudi Arabia, Does anybody know of any car manufacturer? how about a software company? forget that that a global company that is doing really well? Oil is what they have and that is about it.

If the entire world sanctions the middle east, and if they can’t sell any oil to anybody? how long will they survive as a country? Things are bad as it is.

All these countries are so dependent on China/USA and other countries for goods.

What have they been able to do for themselves?

I know there isn’t one answer that would solve it but if you look at the philosophy of the Mullah’s is just simply Jihad. Yet the fail to look at creating jobs for their own people. If man could stop fighting and just living in the region wouldn’t they all be a bit happier?

Man has always fought in the name of land, money, and being a greedy SOB.

Religion: Lets take a global religion called Music. You can put many people from many countries together in a room put on some good music and everyone can relate to it.

It’s man’s ego of why man is not progressing, all about land or why certain groups of people are bad. We all want peace but at the price of killing innocent people.

I believe that if there is a battle to be done between countries make the leaders fight it out in a global boxing ring or something like that why go on having your soldiers go out and get killed.

Nobody ever suggests that hey lets have a round table in Geneva, lets invite Hezbolla or Hamass, Israel, Taleban and any others and sort out the differences.

Some want land some want a way of life from the 12th century. I guess at the rate we are going someone is going to drop a bomb one day, which will kill us all, if you don’t die now the bombs radiation will kill you over time.

To Amin,
Mr. Amin, I never heard that Dr. Ledeen ask to wage war on Iran. if you read all Dr. Ledeen’s articles, you will see that Dr. Ledeen strongly call to overthrow tyranny regimes In Iran and Syria through support of democratic revolution.
No doubt there some statements by Dr. Ledeen calling to use hard power! Well, that’s right, because mullahs declared war on you more than 29 year. They killed you in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, and today they and Syrians ruthlessly murder you in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I think if Dr. Ledeen has declared to using force, doubtless it’s a kind of legitimate self defense. The United States of America must humiliate terrorist groups through attack on terrorist training camps in Syria and Iran and also the US must attack some nuclear facilities and the military facilities by limited strikes in both countries.
However Dr. Ledeen is one of the Advocates and Philosophers of The Absolute Axis of Good, and though the tenets of neo-conservatism continue to offer the most cogent approach to the challenge that faces the United States. Most important of those tenets “their struggle is moral, against an evil enemy who revels in the destruction of innocents and they always prefer nonviolent methods, while the use of force will continue to be part of the struggle”.
For example the neo-conservatives had played an effective role to fell the Soviet Communist Empire. So will they supported democratic revolutions in middle Europe which I very admiring that revolutions in “Poland, Czechoslovakian, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Georgia”. After Evil Empire fell “the Soviet Communism Empire”, all these people thanked the United States for its help, and though STILL now the vast majority of Polish villains are DENIES THE US FAVOR, where “I saw it here in Poland”. The Poles strongly believe that Poland is free JUST thanks to Lech Walesa and also thanks to the late Pope John Paul II according to their claim, because the Pope was a Pole!!! But these fools have forgotten that any real freedom revolution CANNOT BE SUCCEEDING WITHOUT THE US SUPPORT.
However Walesa is known among Poles as a Stupid man and unpolite who lacks logical talk with others.
On the other hand, it does not surprise that Poles denies favor, where their big and pundit in the US “Mr. Zbigniew Brzezinski” who is shockingly anti-Semite and terribly fight against the US greatness and Israel State, despite he is an American native. Mr Brzezinski is struggling strongly to humiliate the US and to destroy Israel.
Generally, Poles had practiced some atrocities and pogroms against Jews during World War II, where Jews massacred and robbed by their Polish neighbors and though Poles still think of themselves as wartime victims, not villains? They ALWAYS AND ALWAYS blame Jews on their problems.
So Mr. Amin, obviously that Dr. Ledeen is insightful brave man and unsanctimonious NOT like your masters of the humiliating policymakers!!! I think you are from Middle East, therefore please reconsider its predictions in high-risk issues and do NOT absolves the Iranians or any despotic regime of evil intent. My friend. wake up, please!

Socious, Every now and then there are people who live in lala land thinking Iranians are 100% behind Palestinians, the very people who helped the mullahs consolidate their rule, and have, in every conflict between Arabs and Iranians sided with their brothers. Who ever you are socious, you must be living in your own world and with your own logic. Most Iranians who are kookoo enough to support their enemies are those living in the West or brought up over there. Poor Iranians in Iran neither have that kind of luxury, nor such misguided views. No matter what the mullahs feed Iranians in schools, and feed you, people are smarter and more nationalistic than you are. Do you work for the Islamic Republic? Wake up, get rid of your complexes, and get with it! Also, by your writing you give the impression that you think you are Mr. know it all. This is proof you know nothing.

Hey there, amin, i’ve been opposed to an invasion of iran for years. i want the “Western world” to support democratic revolution in Iran, as we did in the Soviet Empire. Which worked pretty well (you might ask Havel or Walesa about that, or Sharansky).

I do want to defend our troops, and i think that attacks on the Iranian terrorist training camps (as those in Syria) is legitimate self defense, as well as a useful “message” to the Iranian people, showing that the mullahs are not untouchable, and that they will pay for killing Americans.

Second, all those people who jump up and down and falsely accuse me of wanting war with Iran have both the facts wrong and the likely consequences of inaction wrong. It is Iran that declared war on us, thirty years ago, and has been waging it ever since. And if we continue to fail to respond effectively they will continue to escalate, making a big war far more likely.

Yes it’s paradoxical, but history is full of those paradoxes. Remember Churchill on Chamberlain: “You had a choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor. And you will have war.”

Ledeen must be insane and detached from reality if he thinks a US attack on Iran would make the situation better.

Ah, yes — Sid Ryan — He’s president of CUPE Ontario and a rabid anti-semite — oh, sorry…he’s not anti-semitic he’s anti-zionist … check out this CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) website and have a look at their “The Wall Must Fall” pamphlet posted on the home page http://www.cupe.bc.ca/files/Wall_Must_Fall_English.pdf
This was MY local of CUPE BC – local 379. The anti-semitic sludge seeping through CUPE disgusted me and when I took a leave of absence I refused to pay them any dues (well, I said I would pay in full as soon as they removed the offending pamphlet) Many Jews other than myself were trapped CUPE jobs — we are forced to become members of CUPE if we work in a union shop – there is no choice – your dues are automatically subtracted from your pay cheque – I was fortunate in that I could take a small stand by refusing to pay dues while on leave (no pay cheque so they couldn’t get at me).
A tiny victory.
I should point out, in CUPE’s defense, (sort of) that none of the other provinces voted to go along with CUPE Ontario when they voted to
boycott all goods from Israel. (Like Israel gives a sh–.) In my local, this was because the vice-president, at the time, was a Jew and he prepared a report on the history of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He presented it at the meeting where we were to vote on joining the Ontario boycott. My local voted against.
