Angry Europe threatens Iran with "appropriate measures"

[Nagishkaw 510]

And we will write you a letter telling you how angry we are.

And we will give it to Rev. Jesse Jackson and Jimmy Carter to hand deliver it.

With America as the most aggressive country on the planet - rest assured that if it steps into war with Iran, it will be the end of the United States.

Your United States is largely a paper tiger. Close to pulling out of a disastrous war against the undefended sovereign nation of Iraq.

The Iranians are a proud people of a civilisation, thousands of years old. Compare this against a 200-year-old country like the U.S.

The Americans had better start learning how to stop acting aggressively and negotiate instead.

Wow! If that is the way you feel why did you come to such a terrible place?

Yes, a disastrous war engaged in the worst possible fashion by a completely inept administration. That's hardly evidence of weakness, more of stupidity.

The United States is hardly a paper tiger. If we were truly threatened, the gloves come off and woe to whoever opposes us.

Just cause you're pissed about Iraq is no reason to disrespect the United States. Disrespect the fools who got us in that mess.

What do you reckon "appropriate measures" are? (couldnt get the quote to work... )

<--Diplomatic-measures

<--"appropriate measures"

They only know violence. Lets give them what they want.

Dude, they had the Immortals. There's been some technology upgrades since then. While I think allowing ourselves to be drawn into a regional war is beyond stupid and I'm certainly not convinced there isn't a lot of empty saber rattling on both sides, let's be clear. Modern wars aren't won by the weight of history. They're won by overwhelming air superiority.

The U.S. isn't particularly good at winning the peace, but we're very good at bombing things back to the stone age. The immediate danger with a war with Iran isn't the collapse of the American empire. It's not *good* for the region, and anyone who argues that is a hawk on crack, but you know, air power.

The Iranians are mad because they cant have nuclear weapons and the United States wants they're nuclear plant shut down thats why they captured the 15 british sailors.

[Otto 83]

This is not the first time Iran has done this... they love to draw attention to themselves then wrap themselves is an 'ideal-blanket' to draw sympathy from neighboring countries...

A dangerous game they play though..

1. Who's forcing you to immigrate to the USA? Why would you come otherwise?

2. You want us to kiss Ahmadinejad's a$$ like Chamberlain kissed Hitler's a$$? The world saw how well that worked.

Yay! The thread's been Godwinned!

I wonder if on Arab message boards of the future, the comparison people make to discredit their opponents will be to GW.

[Niels Bohr 72]

I believe that America, and their Allies have more experience in world destruction than Iran. Look at Germany, they are truly dedicated to education. Most scientists that created such powerful weapons came from Germany or their contributions. Iran hasn't got a chance. I oppose War, but if it comes to destruction of freedom or the will to live, I must support it.

[Caladan 19]

Why, when speaking of diplomacy, does no one ever use the Cuban Missile crisis, a triumph of knowing when not to bomb? I don't know what the right thing to do with Iran is, mind, but this 'every bit of diplomacy is JUST THE SAME AS APPEASEMENT' is a stupid meme that deserves to be retired.

Sometimes diplomacy is smart. Sometimes it isn't. None of the players in the current drama are Weimar Germany. Holding a group of sailors isn't the same as invading Czechoslovakia. Iran isn't in Europe. We can trot out the Nazi analogies all day, but they're not going to do anything useful.

Thus, rclouse's use of the term Godwinned. Your point was already made by rclouse, albeit in a much more pithy manner

end of the usa? the usa is a paper tiger? with our nuclear arsenal? what drugs are you on?

perhaps it's time for you to find another country to live in - or get some very good dental insurance if you spout off like that in the usa.

I hadn't seen his post, but given how often everyone whines about Nazis around here, maybe most of them missed Godwin's law and corollaries.

On the other hand, if we keep batting the Nazi analogy around, then we should decide who the brave allies are. If Iran is Germany, then maybe the UK is the US, and we're Stalin?
