Well I don't think I have to tell anyone about the crazy stuff going down in the Middle East... But just incase,

We got Iran trying to make nukes, threatening to wipe Isreal off the map.

We got Iraq saying that Arab nations should use "Oil" as a weppon agienst the US

And pretty much we have what amounts to a serious uprising... I am starting to think we should have stayed in Iraq a little longer if only because it offered certian strategic bennifits. IIRC many in Iraq wanted the US to stay because they too felt influence from Iran would become a problem.

Now I don't know what the hell seems to be the issue with these Middle Eastern countries, and really it should'nt even be our problem except for the fact that some of these nations are dead set on making nuclear weapons. I don't think a country like Iran should have nukes, if only because they are dumb enough to use them thus effecting everyone around them when we have to level their country. In my eyes we can either deal with it now, or wait until things are much-much worse.

I still feel that any nation that calls our hand should have to re-pay America upon the time they are liberated. Freedom isn't free, and if we have to deal with a nation that calls our hand twice, then we should pillage them for everything they have and level the place so we know at least it will be many years before they can be in a position to do it again.

People in Europe and the M.E. want to paint Americans as intrusive, but these same people are hypicritcal because they too would be doing the exact same thing if they could. It's a sad reality of life, but something is brewing. Lots of talk about the "End of the World" and the "Mayans" (SP?), but really we need to make our own fate! All these European dooms-dayers need to be shown that the "End of the World" amounts to the end of their silly ways that see them killing each other. We need to show them that it can be the end of the world to them, but they sure a fuck arent going to screw it up for the rest of the world.
