Anyone that thinks the Israelis will let this get out of hand needs their head examined. They've already settled one situation like this, they'll do it again. They will NOT allow a sworn enemy that's spitting distance away to have the capability to wipe them off the face of the earth within 15 minutes after making up their mind. Will the US aid and or abet the effort? I don't know. But I would bet my next year's wages that the Israelis settle this before it gets too far. As far as Iran having nukes being a threat to the US, they can't reach us with their missiles. All there is to it. Now Europe, they should be afraid. Very afraid.

Hmmm. What if Iran chooses to launch their missiles at the US from a freighter?

I am presuming that you are talking about Israel. The answer is easy. Sorry guys, but I have to bring religion into this again.
God chose the Jewish people as his special people for various reasons. The Arabs are the opposite. What we really have here is a spiritual war between God and Satan. Satan hates anything to do with God and will do everything in his power to eliminate the Jews and Israel. The Arabs are being used by Satan to try and do away with God's chosen people and anyone who sides with Israel.

This is a bit of an over simplification, but will do for this forum.

This is my last post of my opinion. Some might agree some might not. If you are not living in the USA and or a USA citizen you have no right to say anything publicly about HER, that includes the bordering countries, and that is as simply as I can state it. Goodluck,,Rick Again I pray for Peace and all should be doing the same.

kandgo, I presume your last post was indirectly directed at me. Sorry, but I don't get your point. If I have ever said anything about the states it was with a view to help. Of course I have mentioned the negative things, but it you take a closer look at all my posts, there was a CONSTRUCTIVE theme behind them, not a DESTRUCTIVE as you seem to imply. Are you and the rest of your fellow US citizens so proud that you can't accept help or suggestions for improvement? What's that old saying? Something about pride going before a fall?

You say that if someone is not a US citizen or living within the US borders, then they don't have any rights to say anything about her. So what then gives the US or a US citizen the authority to have so much to say about other countries? Sounds like a bit of a double standard being applied here.

You said that your last post was the last, but it seems to me that you owe me and the rest of the readers an explanation. Just exactly are you trying to say?

BTW you can pray for peace, but according to the Bible, that is not going to happen for a while yet.

Thanks for the support. Sure, go ahead and post your opinions about France, but not on this thread. Perhaps it should go under a new thread with the heading of "French Humor", or "French Stuff".

So what you are saying kandgo is that ANYONE not a US citizen does not have the right to voice thier opinion???? I think that is absurd. I guess you believe in socialisim, or even better yet communisim? Does this mean that the southern states had a right to own slaves? I guess the north was just trying to shove thier thoughts and opinions down thier throat...... Darn history class, I knew somthing was wrong with our history lessons.............

But on a serious note. I guess you don't have anything to say about the violence in the middle east, or about the avenue that Russia should take because of the terrorist that killed those 300+ people. I guess that mentality would fall under the title of being an Aristocrat (funny it almost sounds like democrat ) follow definition number 3 below. Last I checked we were all human, and I haven't seen any muzzles on anyone's mouth. I bet you think it is wrong for somone to think bad things too. Kinda like thought police...... not bad if you think about it..... DOH! can't do that kind of thinking.......

One entry found for aristocrat.


Main Entry: aris·to·crat
Pronunciation: &-'ris-t&-"krat, a-; 'ar-&-st&-
Function: noun
1 : a member of an aristocracy; especially : NOBLE
2 a : one who has the bearing and viewpoint typical of the aristocracy b : one who favors aristocracy
3 : one believed to be superior of its kind

I am not afraid of terrorists or any country. All you can do is kill me.... You cant eat me.
The Bible states what is going to happen. An enemy will attack Israel and they will be decimated. As long as that enemy is not the US...... I dont care.
As far as Iran not being able to hit us with nukes..... Anyone know how far it is from Iran to Iraq where most of our army is? It's right next door, heck, Saddam could hit it with those pea shooters he had.

All this is another reason why we should not be in the middle east. It aint our war. The "two brothers" have been fighting each other for millenia and will continue until God sets things right.

Put your faith in God and all will be well.

Why is it a bad thing for non-US people to worry about what is going on in the USA ??? I think it is perfect ... If they know what we are all about and they don't like it ... they won't come over to become citizens. Simple as that.

I think that constructive criticism and an outsiders prospective from someone like Mexstan or Alpineram and the others only serves to make us stronger. I am not afraid or embarrased to show what my country is all about ... why are you Kandgo ??

Not digging for an arguement, just clarification.

Guess I can't say much about this now since I am from a neighboring country.
I have Amercian immediate family and some of it is helping with the USA in Iraq.

So on second thought, I will say what I want, when I want.
