Who sold the Japs steel, who sold the Russkies lend lease equipment in WWII? The list goes on.
Get over it. Release the dogs.
Do not forget cell-phones, millions of them for Iranians. We can smuggle them into Iran from Iraq. America should construct many cell-phone and radio-wave transmission towers in Iraq and Western Afghan. Broadcast Persian language broadcast 24 hours a day on all channels. That will bring down the current regime. That would be a kind of sweet revenge because Khomeini relied on cutting edge communication technology of his time, cassette tapes, being smuggled into Iran.
The broadcase should emphsize preIslamic heritage of Persia, the glory of the acient past. When Iran's ancient past can be accessible without the censorship of Mullas, Islamic extremism will die in Persia. Remember that Persia was the home of Zoroasterianism and Manicheinism. There is more to Iran than just Shi'ite Islam. The same is true for all Mid-East. There is more to Mid-East than Islam. There was more than 5,000 years of preIslamic civilization before Islam. When they can come to the fore without the interference of Islam, the Mid-East and Persia will progress foreword. They can't go anywhere now because of the yoke of militant Islam which wants to blame everything on outsiders, while it even busily oppresses any influence from its ancient past.
Europe could not surge ahead until it finally recognized its legacy of ancient past of Greece and Rome.
That's an excellent point--one that I tend to forget. Thanks for bringing it up.
We wage a war to save civilization, itself. We did not seek it, but we must fight it -- and we will prevail.
This is a different war from any our nation has ever faced, a war on many fronts, against terrorists who operate in more than 60 different countries.
Al Qeada in South Lebanon..well they are there..in numbers..with backing from Hezbullah who look the other way..while AL Qeada muscles Palestinians in camps for control.
The Palestinians are just pawns..now that they are neutralized via Israels intel and covert actions...momentum now swings fully behind Iran/Hezbullah.
The Palie thinking is for just themselves..the Iranian version is broader..and more appealing..that of the destruction of Israel..allong with the U.S.
Syria sits with over 400 scuds..with a less than 10 minute travel time to vx Israel or bust up I.A.F. airfields.
In over 13 hardened undergound missile complex's..with data encorporated from sites in Iraq which survivied U.S. munition strikes.
[Israel and the U.S. went to work on tunneling micro nukes post desert storm upon realization of that conflicts data..and leaked by U.S. media that micro nukes may be used in a future conflict].
Isalm has a tough choice to make..they are not on par to match the U.S. and Israel..no way at all..so do they put up a small effort and let Saddam go down..hope for the U.N. to grid lock the situation?
How long before Chinese micro nuke technology appears in Syria or Iran?
The active resupply by Syria of Iraq should be front page..and a session in the U.N. akin to Adle Stevensons confrontation of the Soviets during the Cuban missile crisis.
Don't forget Iran from the backside. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are still wild cards depending to what extent Israel will participate. We could find ourselves with no way out but to start nuking.
