    Some people see this as tragedy, some people just don't simply care, and some people feel a little good about this... which is sick.

    Anyway, this is an opportunity. Yeah, they aren't all radicals or what ever, this is the perfect opportunity to help and win those minds and hearts. Just perfect!

    I don't think what my coming opinion in the possible conflict in Iran will be, but no matter what it is, we should all help. If we think 'well they hate us every other day', then it's people against people, not nations policies in conflict. And that's not good. That's like anti-semitism or something.

      Besides, regardless of what the situation is between nations, this is still human tragedy. So even if we would be enemies, we should still help. If we was in war, we should hit the pause button for a second and help. We're talking about civilians. I'm sure there are freedom loving folks there. AND the ones that don't like the west and hates the US especially, well they've been taught to do that. We know it, so should we feel good about them dying, or not help, or should we forgive it and help? I think almost everyone deserves to be forgiven, almost, and I believe these people are in that list.

        just reminding people... in Iran... it's the government who hates us... not the people... in fact, most of the younger generation wants Democracy and hates the Ayatollahs.
        To us, it is the BEAST.

          Obviously the thing to do is to help...regardless of politics. It just so happens that with the younger generation being more open to democratic ideas, that this is a good opportunity to work on those hearts and minds. Iran, because of this very situation, should be a long term project...if only we can eliminate the support for terrorism and WMD programs. Otherwise...

                  I'm surprised that a wimpy 6.3 earthquake can kill up to 20k people.

                  We had a 6.7 one here a fews days ago, it killed 2 people.

                        Sadly in some parts of the world it is more important to have a building than a building code.

                          Our government seems to think so.

                            If they hate their rulers as much as you claim, bombing the **** out of their government may, though

                              unfortunately, as advanced as our weapons are, the people picking the targets aren't as smart as the bombs they are dropping.
