President Bush opens options for use of force on Iran!

[Max Webster]

Make up a little commando group comprised of Rambo, Billy Bob Uron, Chuck Norris, and Steven Segal. Make sure Bush is leading these guys and send them into the nuclear installation. They will Blow 'em up real good.

In Civ, completely conquering a civ makes all the partisans and resisters go away...

Why occupy the place? Just go Mongol on 'em. Persians still have nightmares about that dark period in their history.

In all seriousness, there isn't going to an invasion of Iran. The world likes to say America is a hyperpower, but I don't believe it. Our hands are full with just Afghanistan and Iraq. That doesn't sound like hyperpower material to me. So go find another boogeyman, please.

You have more faith in the competence of our leadership than I do.

I didn't think they were stupid enough to mismanage the war the way they have but they did.

I didn't think they were dispicable enough to go around discarding the Geneva Conventions and torturing people but they did.

Yes they are stupid enough to invade Iran. The possibilty is low but these guys are in some other universe that isn't reality.

Persia doesn't exist anymore as a civ.
