When you lived in Iran, did you see the kind of poverty that we read about in N. Korea? Describe that, please. What did you see?

I have never been to either of these countries. I can only go by published numerical figures. N. Korea keeps it's GINI secret. Iran and the United States publish their"s. They are nearly identical. People who make the claim that you make must know something that the rest of us don't.

i don't think so, your just making thinks up again, more liberal hogwash...

Really? In what way? (Actually, I had hope to get an answer fro Andybegood. He made a claim that I felt was worth challenging). What part is "hogwash", and how so?

that your just saying things without any kind of proof... post some info with your statements, or it is just your liberal lies...

I think you are just as capable of looking up GINI numbers as I am. It's very easy to do. I think you can handle it.

They have things under control in Japan.

no, it is easier just to say your wrong... which you are

Ahh. Now we're getting somewhere. This will be a good posting to put into my "save" folder. It can explain a lot.

Most Iranians I spoke with post Shaw left becasue of religious persecution and poverty. Also Iran has nothing but oil to offer. They also have been spewing a lot of hate speak our way lately more so than ever. They blame us for economic oppression when it is their dependance on oil sales to prop up their economy. We DON'T really need their OIl. China DOES though. And with China waving a big dick in everyone's faces Iran is getting froggy in the face of a ball-less administration. Obama has no balls. He is like Jimmy Carter who made us look weak.

What Iran needs is a good stiff invasion. Pull all our assettes from Afghanistan and Iraq and just sweep through them like we did Iran. Let them fling a nuke at Israel. If it does make it and go off you can bet we will retaliate if Israel doesn't. War sucks but that is all some of these "Potentates" like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad understand. God is on his side. Well, we got the power of the Atom on ours! That and a lot of High Tech we can use to plaster them good. Let China cry foul. What are they going to do? Invade us?

I love how the second ammendment makes them think three times about trying like it did with other nations.

But again Obama makes us look weak! And dragging us into Libya? Gezus Christ! We DON'T Belong there!

I don't think we really want another face-off with Russia, which is what we probably would get out of a military confrontation with Iran. But hey! What do I know? BTW. I thought the NATO operations in Libya went really well. I don't think President Obama worries too much about how weak some message board post thinks he looks.

Oh, and I thought we were talking about how Iran is supposed to be as poverty-ridden as N. Korea. What ever happened to that?
