Bush must be stopped.

[styley]

George Bush and his cronies have been talking up a war with Iran ever since they invaded Iraq and now it seems thay're gearing up to move in for the kill. Again as with Iraq, there is little to no evidence to back up their claims for this invasion. Also as with Iraq, if they go ahead with the invasion of Iran there will probably be hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed. This American administration is made up of a bunch of religiosly intolerent crusaders with a messed up power hungry money driven agenda. I don't think we as a society can sit back and watch this time as they go in and destroy another country. What can be done to stop this warmonger?

I think you've all gone mad, why is war the first thing you think of?

Saddam could have been brought to trial for war crimes if the UN really wanted to. No war was far more lucrative!

Shadow how can you be for world peace when you want to annihilate the middle east??

from the BBC website

Mr Ahmadinejad was quoted by Irna, the official Iranian news agency, as saying: "The hegemony of the occupier regime [Israel] had collapsed, and the Lebanese nation pushed the button to begin counting the days until the destruction of the Zionist regime."

"God willing, in the near future we will witness the destruction of the corrupt occupier regime," Mr Ahmadinejad said.

In October 2005, the Iranian president made a statement in which he envisaged the replacement of Israel with a Palestinian state. This was widely translated as a call for Israel to be "wiped off the map".

While he has repeated similar comments many times, he has insisted that Iran is not a threat to Israel.

sorry, meant to include the link for that

I wonder how we would all feel if Korea decided we could have WMD and blew us up (just in case!)

Same bl@@dy thing! Just because they don't live in a nice house with green fields and a working toilet, doesn't mean they are evil!

[Shadow Man]

Because the middle east are the purveyors of evil. Wipe them out and more lives will be saved, simple as that.

How many more Americans, Japs or Chinese died after Hiroshima and Nagasaki (minus the odd mutant born from radiation poisioning)? Hardly any!!!!

[andrea81]

So is a child playing on the street being blown into pieces evil, shadow?

Oh by the way she/he lives in Iran?

[Shadow Man]

Yes, it is absolutely barbaric. But it is their government killing them.

If they stopped practising barbaric and evil religion, cease to have any nuclear capability, stopped making statements about wiping out Israel and stopped praising acts of world terrorism, they we will have no need to nuke them.

These are not actions of a few mad Asian youths from Oldham, these are the words and actions of the Iranian Government.

It will be there decison if kids on their street dies. Not ours.

Iran is a third world plethora of demons. It is hell on earth and is holding the free world back.

[andrea81]

What free world?????

Do the thousands of starving Africans feel free? or people of Iraq now that Bush rid the country of evil Saddam?

[jno]

sadly, India, Pakistan, Russia and Israel all have nukes. (And China's not that far away.) So you can understand why Iranians feel left out. They are the ones who are currently at risk from over-excitable neighbours. They think having nukes themselves will be a deterrent. I expect they're right.

[andrea81]

But then we're talking about a cold war! Bush actually wants to do it! Kill kill kill la de da!

[mountainboo]

All I can say is; if the U.S do invade Iran and bring us with them again I am getting the hell out of this country!!! God knows why Gordon hasn't taken our troops out of Iraq yet, it's bloody suicide.

[Shadow Man]

The vasy majority of Africans are an uncivilised people. They have basically moved on very little since Imperialism. I fail to see what the savage natives of African nations have to do with it?

Iran needs to be stopped. Nipped in the bud as such. If Michael Ryan or Thomas Hamiliton were nipped in the bud when there was decent evidence to suggest that one day they would use their weapons on innocent individuals, then many lives would have been saved.

Iran is a Michael Ryan on a huge scale. Nuke it now to save future lives.

[johnlambert]

mountainboo
as an ex serviceman I can tell you that getting troops into a country is easy. Getting them out again is darn near impossable
We put troops onto the streets of Northern Ireland as a temprorary measure to protect Irish Catholics from being burned out by the Protestant majority. It took us (the bedst Army in the world) 30 years to extracate them.
How do you suggest we pull out of Iraq with minimum casualties? I'm sure Gordon Brown, the Chief of Defence Staff et al will be happy of your advice

[andrea81]

Shadow - my point about Africans is just to point out that a lot of people are dying over there due to civil war and leaders who care not! but Bush doesn't seem to worry about that!

No, he worries about the countries in the middle east.. why? Why not look globaly on the issue of mass jenecide (crap spelling) and give a bit of support to those cultures?

Just because they say they are - doesn't mean Iran is really a threat!

[mountainboo]

I didn't think of it like that johnlambert, I guess I just thought it'd be an easy task, but when you put it like that I understand.

[Shadow Man]

Well Africa has yet to develop nuclear weapons unlike Iran. I can assure you if Libya started messing about like Iran is, they too will be on the hit list!!!

Were Libya included on the "Axis of Evil" list??? I forget.

[andrea81]

No you are right shadow - if that is your real user name1 Shouldn't it be GW Bush!
