    Um, no one is going to nuke anybody, at least literally. Honestly, they'd just drop a nuclear weapon on Iran tomorrow, even though no such weapon has been used since WW-II (despite MANY threats during the Cold War)? Any educated military strategist views nukes as a deterrent, first and foremost, and as people in this thread have pointed out, no one in the world wants nukes detonating again. How do you guys sleep at night? I am not saying that there won't be a confrontation with Iran, of some sort ... But a unilateral nuclear strike? Come on.

    LOL ... and that comment wasn't a dig. I just don't understand how a few wingnuts making off-the-record remarks in Congress translates into WW-III. There are more than a few steps that must intervene first.

    I also like how you differentiate between literal nuking and ........ other forms of nuking! :D

    But seriously...I like your voice of reason style. That's hot! :)

    I haven't seen Angelica this flustered since Billy Ray Cyrus begged her not to break his heart. His achy breaky heart.

    Israel is going to eventually take the first punch over some sketchy "intolerable act of aggression" incident, and the US will feed it generou$ly from the back end if need be.

    The alternative is to get along.

    hmm...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
