We are playing both sides now with regards to ISIS and Yemen. The US helped bomb Tikrit Iraq where Iran went after ISIS and we are providing arms to Suadi with their fight in Yemen. Iran supports the Huthi (spelling) in Yemen. What a tangled web we weave, but in the US we care about a pizza place hypothetically not catering a gay wedding.
I just find it really disturbing that ANY nation is still thinking of nuclear weapons as a feather in their cap and bargaining chip. That is FUCKED UP.

Houthis hate AQAP and ISIS. They are supported by Iran while the Saudis and Egyptians support the previous Yemeni president, who has since fled to Egypt. Houthis are an offshoot of Shi'ia, which Iran is predominately made up of, as is Iraq. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are predominately Sunni, also what AQAP and ISIS are made up of, albeit an extreme and by no means mainstream version of Islam. Yemen is also majority Sunni, hence the Saudi and Egyptian support for the previous president.

Easy, easy. I'm not as smart as I think you am. But convoluting things further is that Iranians are Persian and not Arab. Hence, along with the religious differences, the great deal of mistrust from all sides. A very complicated onion with many layers that Middle East.

Iran supports the Huthi (spelling) in Yemen. What a tangled web we weave, but in the US we care about a pizza place hypothetically not catering a gay wedding.
If they served more pizza in the middle east, maybe we would care more.
I wonder if there is a correlation to countries that eat lots of pizza and economic stability?

You do know the Greeks invented the pizza. Now how's that for economic stability?

Not according to Wiki:
Pizza is an oven-baked flat bread generally topped with tomato sauce and cheese. It is commonly supplemented with a selection of meats, vegetables and condiments. The term was first recorded in AD 997, in a Latin manuscript from Gaeta in Lazio, Central Italy.[1] The modern pizza was invented in Naples, Italy, and the dish and its variants have since become popular in many areas of the world.
I go the other way. I'm afraid of any country on that list having nuclear weapons because I'm scared nuclear weapons exist at all. Adding Iran to the club won't make anything better. You don't have to consider their regime a "death cult" to be concerned about an Iranian nuke.
I agree. But we need to balance our rhetoric with calls for nuclear nations to stop expansionist policy, and with calls for disarmament. As mentioned, it is our expansionist policies that drive the desire for the weapons in the first place. You are saying you don't want any nukes, but I don't see a call for the US to dismantle their entire stockpile. Do you think it would be a realistic request? Probably not, right? So on what basis do we determine who can or cannot have them when we say it's not realistic for us to NOT have them?
Again, I'm not advocating for Iran to have a bomb....but we need perspective and consistency in our evaluations.
Balanced rhetoric and calls for disarmament are both well and good, but neither equates to helping Iran go nuclear. That is a bridge too far for me. These weapons exist, and nothing you or I can do will change that. Disarmament is not going to happen. The U.S. has them, and I understand why Iran wants them. That doesn't mean they or anyone else should have them. That you are not advocating for Iran to have a bomb is good. It means, as you said, that we agree.
I guess if we both can say that it's not good for Iran to get nukes....and that it's unrealistic for the US to disarm in order to end nuclear proliferation...then maybe we can agree that a decent compromise would be for the US to stop surrounding Iran with military bases, and crushing any non-allied country that acquires power in the region, while telling everyone they're looking for peaceful resolutions with those same powers?

The Greeks are a bunch of posers.
Shit, I just googled it. I've gotten Egypt and Greece or ancient babylon. Interesting.
No Halifax,all media nonsense.Sure we have Pythons that can eat gators whole,and water moccasins as thick as navy ships rope and lots of coral snakes and rattlers.But I'd be more concerned with Texas and southwest for those big fuckin Rattke snakes. We do now have a python hunt every year out in the Everglades.The real damage is what they are doing to our ecosystems balance.

Well some things are still easy to see. all the above hate the west and the Jews.So they do have that in common.Maybe they can build toward peace with those concepts as a starting point.
I hate poisonous snakes.But I really hate the idiots who keep them as "pets" or use them in religious rituals.fucking idiots.
Kinda funny when they get bit though.
People. You can only warn them so much.
Excellant point TB.Stupid people doing stupid things does make for good entertainment.
I get actual pleasure from news of those snake people getting bitten. I love seeing people suffer from their own arrogance (don't mistake arrogance for stupidity! ... of course, some people have both).

Amazing isn't it?
I care more about gay rights in this country more than I care about anything that happens in Iran, or isreal, or yemen. What happens over there does not effect me.

Ah, let's get this straight, they, the Arabs/Muslims don't hate "Jews". They may hate Israel for their treatment of the both Christian/Muslims Palestinians, but they don't hate Jews. I'm a Muslim and I actually, ready for this, have Jewish friends. Amazing how that in the real world, we can get along.

Well that's obvious. I was making a statement cuz it sounded like he was saying all Muslims hate America and the Jews. Which is, no offense rr, pretty weak when someone posted all those "facts". And let's just say that they did, can you blame them? Just like I'm sure there are a lot of people who hate Muslims for what happened on that September day. What I'm getting at is that there's plenty of fucken hate everywhere. Both sides.
