Because foreign invasion to oust a pariah dictator worked so well in 2003.

Iraq is better off now than it was in, say, 2002, yes?

I'm pretty sure its reasonable to say the Israeli government, while not perfect, is preferable to the Iranian regime.

I deeply believe in the tooth fairy and anyone who disagrees with me is an enemy (BTW, I misread your post at first, thought you'd said 71, and did a double take).

Do you have any arguments that aren't ad hominem attacks? And, no, I don't stalk you. You might be exaggerating your importance to me just a tad, there. You just happened to say particularly bad things on threads I was following.

Yes, I do. I just choose not to use them with you because its utterly pointless to attempt any sort of debate with you - you're always right in your head and everyone else is some feckless idiot for not believing the same as you.

much as Kucinich said he was "proud" when the 60% of (D)s in the House in 2002 voted against the authorization of force in Iraq, I am proud here as a non-negligible slice of the Atlas pledges to stand with the sovereign Islamic Republic of Iran if and when it is attacked by the West.

Yes, the knee jerk anti-Americanism on this board must make a fellow hater "proud".

Quote from:   Martha Gellhorn for The Atlantic 1961
The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

also, I should here cite Peter Hitchens, ironically enough: "a knee-jerk is a sign of a healthy reflex"

Yes, I've noticed that. It's very ideologically out-of-context for me, considering I support an invasion of Iran. (And before someone accuses me of reflexively opposing Obama, I have vocally supported, for instance, his Pakistan policy).
