  1. Cut off the funds now. That ends the war and the troops must be brought back home. The idea that it's somehow congresses fault if the troops are left in the field with no funds is the dumbest thing around, congress can't run the war maybe but it sure can end it. If the troops are left out there once funding is cut it's dubya's fault and in my opinion would be yet another impeachable offense.

    I'm a firm believer that our army should only fight for the benefit of our country and I don't see that a 'stable' iraq inevitably allied with iran would be beneficial to us. Let Iraq sort out it's problems on it's own. The billions we've spent trying to 'free' iraq could have been better spent freeing ourselves for dependence on the oil the ties us to these people.

  2. A lot of Iran's population is surprisingly liberal. Ahmadinejad isn't exactly universally beloved by the population. The size of the invasion force would depend on the goals of the invaders, but I don't think the invaders would face a fanatical horde of Ahmadinejad zealots. To be honest, I'm not really sure what would happen if he were removed from power. Iran's political system is really weird.

    The Iranians have seen close up what happens to a country when the US or 'the West' invades. I think you could count on much stronger resistance than was offered by the Iraqis. Iranians are extremely proud of their cultural heritage and will not willingly see it ransacked.

     

    In the view of the Daily Telegraph, these sailors were taken because Tony Blair expressed regret about the slave trade, which apparently makes Britain appear weak in the eyes of the rest of the world.

     

    Oh, and please steer clear in the discussion of anything that looks like advocating nuclear annihilation, even if not meant seriously. :sweat:

    Resistance isn't an issue if we don't intend to stay. How can this conversation not be about nuclear annihilation, that's sort of the point?

  3. Local NPR

    Now THAT figures.

    Sure beats propaganda radio. Plus I like it when I can be fairly sure the person on the other end doesn't hate me.

    Here's a challenge for you, tell me what you listen to or what you think I should listen to and I'll tell you why it makes absolutely no sense for me to listen.

  4. Drug trafficking would be much easier as there's no restriction on movement within the united states. I can't tell you how many times I've gone from Chicago to Florida or California without seeing cop one, so unless you drove like a moron it'd be simple as pie to transport drugs.
