		<description>Policy guided by religion.

In Islam, almost all Muftis (with fatwa power) tend to believe in the principle of &quot;The ends justify the means.&quot;  
This pricinple is used to suppress, kill and whatever to keep Islam&#039;s flag on top.  Obviously, each sect of Muslims has its own &quot;ends&quot; that they believe will keep the Islamic flag on top.  Hence, you see Muslims at times fighting each other, because each group thinks they are the righteous and know what is best for Islam.

However, Muslims and Christian people  (not policy makers) in general tend to believe in Heavan and Hell.  If someone hurts them, they might fight, if they can&#039;t fight or are too weak, they tend to feel that the oppressor will get punished In Hell for eternity.

This is at odds with Jewish PEOPLE.  They don&#039;t believe in Hell.  So if they get hurt, they will not simply &quot;leave it to God&quot; to punish the aggressor in the Hereafter.  No, they will want to exact punishment in this life.  They feel if the aggressor simply dies, &quot;he got away&quot; so they would want to exact revenge during this life against their enemies.

Could this be a reason why Jews has been discrimnated against throughout history by Muslims and Christians.  Could it be that Muslims and Christians justifiable or unjustifiably felt that Jews want to always settle things in this lifetime and not let go?  Could this revenge feeling stirring in Jews be the reason they have been despised justifiably or not by Muslims and Christians?  

Could this feeling to settle things in this life, be the reason why Jews are always a party in wars waged?

Could this feeling be the reason why Israel kidnapped the Nazi Kleinman from Argentina decades later to put him on trial? Or Could this feeling be the reason why Israel killed Imad Mughnieh?

Is this feeling of settling the score, because &quot;God won&#039;t do it&quot; be the reason why so many wars are fought??</description>

		<description>HOLD YOUR Horses!
All the talk about Israel attacking Iran.  IN my earlier post, I described what Israelis are planning to do, not what I wish.

Now lets get practical.  If Israel attacks Iran.  It will be open season for Iran to attack Israel.  

One thing readers need to remember, is that Iran doesn&#039;t start wars, but if attacked, Iran will decide will it will end.

In other words, if Israel attacks, Iran could attack for years to come, during good,bad and ugly times and everywhere. Israeli embassy in Egypt, Ecaudor..etc..

But Iran will no longer just attack embassies or this or that building.  Iran will try to put an end to Israel, Period.

Overnight, in Iran, atleast 10,000 men will volunteer for martyrdom operations.

They fly to Lebanon, or drive in units of 100.  They will effectively line up against the border and open a war front from the north.  From the south Gaza will stir up.  Overseas, in all Muslim countries the people will show their affection for Iran which in turn will encourage more Iranians to volunteer to fight.

Believe me, from Jordan to Egypt, people will be in the streets demanding that the governemnts get involved.  If they don&#039;t, or atleast stay quiet and deal with Israel from behind the curtains, Iran will aid groups in those countries to attack governemnt installations. 

It will be quite a ride.  The best part is that Iran will not be fighting on its own ground.  No one in Iran would dare take advantage and fight a government at war with Israel.  Their elimination would be sanctioned by the Sharia and Quran without a question.</description>

		<description>Quite so Royce.  That is a danger is the idiots of the West relying on Israel to do their dirty work for them (then denouncing Israel hysterically; cf Osirak Reactor Raid).  Trouble is the Mullahs are bound and determined to get nukes and start throwing them around.  There is no way to get round that, short of war.  Once they start that it will be sayonara Iran.  If the Iranaian people want to avoid being fried in the retaliation they had better get rid of the Mullahs PDQ.  We ought to help them do this.</description>

		<description>So der Fuehrer, er the Supreme Guide, wants a nuke for his birthday, does he?  We have plenty, and the cruise missiles to deliver the present right into his lap.  Maybe we should give it to him.

What the appeasers do not comprehend is that they are stoking the fires for a bigger war later.  I would hope this stupidity is due to ignorance but I fear it is actually due to malevolence.  The crowd we now have in power is the Blame America First Gang after all.  Their small minds are mired in believing America is the fons et origo of evil in the world.  All those governments practicing mass murder, continental scale impoverishment, man-made famines, and hideous oppression are just poor innocents oppressed by the evil, hegemonic, white imperialists of the USA.  Their sky is colored chartreuse, you see.  

The scum who rule Iran are dead serious about destroying both Israel and the USA (and Britain too, I expect).  What part of &quot;Death to the Great Satan&quot; do Obama and his pals not understand?  If they don&#039;t wise up they are going to wake up to find nukes coming, not just at Tel Aviv (which the Obamabots and the Arabists at Foggy Bottom won&#039;t get too upset about) but also at New York, probably by terrorist attack (and there is no guarantee it will be only a single attack).  Their only hope for personal survival is a realization by our enemies that striking Washington, DC would be an own goal.  I would not count on such nuanced reasoning on the part of such nutjobs, if I were Obama and the bots.

The people of Iran, except for those for whom the regime is their rice bowl, are fighting with great courage against a bunch of vicious tyrants.  The least we can do is support them.  If we had an administration that knew its hind extremity from its elbow, and an intelligence service capable of doing something besides reading the Encyclopedia Britannica and the New York Times to make up intel reports, we would help them.  Alas, the only governmental institution we have that seems to work effectively is the Department of Defense, and it cannot do everything.</description>
