Funny, today the I.A.E.A. reported that Iran is in fact on the road to having nuclear weapons.......not to far off.


Another funny thing, is that the shield was not meant for a deterent against Russia......................................they don't have the the missles that this shield puts its focus on.



Anyway, many of you voted for this administration and now we all will suffer the consequences.

What do I care if Iran has a nuke? Are they going to first strike Canada or the United States?

oh noes! less (American) military hardware around the world!

Huzzah! I agree with Mises..... no way Iran is going to lob a nuke over to Europe. They'd be decimated before it hit.

Poland and the Chzech Republic.....................allies of the U.S.....or...USED to be allies of the U.S.


If you are too blind or unwilling to see what is happening here.....at his point, there just is not any point in trying to HELP you realize the damage that obama is doing to the U.S. and the world.

Thank you for that example of mental midget apathy.

If the Americans decided to fire back. Sure.

Europeans don't have the spine to fight back. They'd take it and then have a conference on post-(neo?)colonial (re)constructs of over/under poverty and the Foucaultian roosting chickens from Iran. The conference will be chaired by a veiled Iranian woman (but she'll wear tons of eye makeup and designer sunglasses and the veil will have an "authentic" and colourful design which will assure the crowd that she's a modern liberated women from a rich culture).

Then, after deciding it was Bush's fault (thereby solving the problem) the "men" will put on pink shirts and have a long chat about how those Americans are so fat and don't have healthcare while driving to Ikea in search of a coffee table that appropriately demonstrates to the world that they care about dolphins.

But it clearly prompted some dismay in Central and Eastern Europe, where the Bush plan had been seen as an effective guarantor of US support for the fledgling democracies of the old Soviet empire. It will also send a chill through Russia's neighbours.

"This is not good news for the Czech state, for Czech freedom and independence," said Mirek Topolanek, the former Czech Prime Minister. "It puts us in a position where we are not firmly anchored in terms of partnership, security and alliance, and that�s a certain threat."


Some folks think that the real reason was to keep eastern europe "free". On the plus side, Obama might save some money. But anything that makes Putin happy must be bad.

I'm pretty sure France would send one off if a nuke got anywhere near them, and NATO demands action if another is attacked. And Britain would probably fancy getting rid of any danger. But I nearly lol'd.

With growing muslim population in Europe, do you honestly think those events would happen?

Cause the "muslim street" would erupt (burn 2000 cars a week instead of 1k). Europe is properfuct.

But really, this is about Israel. A well armed state that can hold her own. The muslims would hate a Jewish state in their region no matter how it behaved but Israel really can get out of line. Best, America should spend less time worrying about Iran and more time worrying about the multitude of things that need worrying about at home.

So Iran idly sends nukes into Europe.... and we wait for some more.... In fact it probably would strike before anything's done, but once we know it's a nuke.... and we have the previous knowledge they've got lots of them.... yea... we start nuking any and all military installations they have (which may include civilian populations).

You say this like we're not already suffering the consequences of the last administration.

Besides, talks are set to begin October 1. Who knows, something good might come of it. Can't possibly be any worse than 8 years of refusing to talk.
