"If you want on or off this Iran ping list, Freepmail DoctorZin”
I have a degree in history and I could only wish that history ran its course with the predictability you have described. You say that everything happens for a reason at a specific time and my experience seems to suggest that history mostly operates on this simple golden rule, s@%t happens. People have known for along time that Iran has sought nuclear weapons, however most Americans neglect to investigate fleeting things they hear on the news. Just because a story has become popular, such as Iranian nukes, dose not mean that it is in any way planned or orchestrated. Granted, the media distorts things and manipulates the facts and even lie, but something like a nuclear crisis is not initiated as a phenomenon as anybody. My advice is to ditch the Marxist crap.
BUMP!
