    Wait...
    Poor planning to begin with... CHECK.
    Going soft and giving in to the Left's concerns... WHAAAAAAT?
    ...
    Which... who... how... what... You need to explain this. I thought this was 'Stay the Course' we were on? When did the President give in? Why haven't I heard about it? Why hasn't anyone else in the world (except for you) heard about it? You are basically saying that the "Course" we set is giving in to the Left's concerns... and YOU voted for this guy?
    ...
    Anyway... back to the subject at hand... do you have any other gems to educate me on Iran? I mean, I never knew that changing the word for pizza was more kooky than the death penalty for anyone who says anything negative about God... but, you know... you learn something new everyday.

    I believe the original plan was most likely to go in alot harder than we did. Between poor planning and pressure from some at home, the original plan was either abandoned or "adapted" for political reasons. My theory. And noone said that the vernacular being controlled by the govt was on par with death for infidels. Its simply being pointed out as a common denominator in the overall conditions and "policies" in countries like Iran.

    BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO A

    holy crap, that was funny...are you saying the right "listens" to the left...and since this war is in the shitter, it's the "left's" fault...

    priceless....

    if you don't think your anti american propaganda here at home has hurt the efforts abroad, you're mistaken. It's certainly not all the "lefts" fault, but you definitely shoulder some of it. Oh yeah, and also, didnt alot of "the left" vote YES to this war? Forgot that one.

    YOU believe "..the original plan was most likely to go in alot harder than we did. Between poor planning and pressure from some at home, the original plan was either abandoned or "adapted" for political reasons." YOUR theory? And so is YOUR THEORY based in any way whatsoever on reality and the facts? Or is it merely your own personal little theory? Have you some inside information that you'd care to share with us? Was the U.S planning to nuke Iraq before some uppity lefties got in the way, in your grand scheme of things? I'm truly fascinated!

    you all seem to think you're in "the loop", and in on decisions made and being made. Easy to second GUESS from your armchair. Have you some inside info that I dont? Real info that is, not rhetoric.

    AGAIN... SERIOUSLY... WHO the fuck cares?
    Here's your first clue:
    THEY ARE FUCKING IRAN!!! THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE ASSHOLES. They have been acting like assholes since the fucking Shi'ites took over the fucking place. How can anyone be surprized that they do fucked up shit... 27 years later?
    I'm not ever going to fucking Iran to order a goddamn pizza because I KNOW they are fucked up. And who am I to change their fucked-uppedness? If they want to change their fucking government and call a pizza a pizza... that's their fucking call.

    This is like trying to explain something to a wall. You're right man. Who the fuck cares.

    Did you know that if you say anything negative about God, the Quron or the Prophet Mohamed... the penalty is Death? Well, I do.
    I guess this is why this kookiness about pizza seems rather insignificant to me, being that I know this country has been known for its over the top fundamentalism for a long, long time. It has come be expected of them, from my vantage point. But, I guess it is a big issue to naive Americans that are just hearing about Iran for the first time.
    You may compare Iranian Civil Liberties with those of America and the West... but, those of us who already know Iran and their history understand that the two are not even in the same Universe when it comes to personal freedoms.
    And you're right... You are never going to convince me that changing the word for pizza is a bigger deal than getting put to death because you question your own belief system. I had the false belief that Americans already knew about Iran and their government... since they held our people hoostage for 444 day in 1979/1980. Thanx for setting me straight on this one.

    Why in the hell do you hell shit for three or four posts and then, finally, when someone pisses you off or something you post something that is actually smart and makes your point clear. By then no one is fucking listening.

    Excuse my ignorance... I was under the false impression that it was common knowledge that Iran is one completely fucked up place and has been ruled by fundamentalist tools since 1979. I thought that anyone over the age of 15 that had attended any type of grade school would have learned at least something about Iran and our hostages in at least one of their American history classes. I was unaware that Iran is never mentioned in our classrooms.
    I apologise... no wonder you are surprized about Iran... I would be too, if I hadn't heard about them until last week.

    If you don't think where different, then think again. Freedom Fries and Freedom toast was done more out of stupidity and wasn't forced on people from the government.
    Yet something like the civil-rights-stealing Patriot Act is forced on people from the U.S. government....personally, I'd rather change a few words in my vocabulary....

    I'm 19, so I don't know all that about Iran. I didn't know all that shit and really, I should have done some research. By the way, when's the last time you've been in a high school History class? It's all watered down bullshit where 90 percent of the shit is lies. The books are written by old white men who can't stand the fucking thought that the American way was paved by blood. So not everyone knows about those matters like you. Everyone should though.
