#1 "But theyâre developing the Shihab-4 for hitting Europe and a Shihab-5, with Russian missile technology, that can strike the Eastern Seaboard of the United States."

Gold called Iranâs capacity to launch a nuclear attack on most of the Western world a "global problem [for] which European governments, the United States and Israel have to come up with a solution."

Nothing that several dozen rounds of endless negotiations can't solve.

#3 One of their missiles might reach the U.S.

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many of our missiles will reach Iran in return.

They'd better think long and hard about whether they really want to do this. It would be the last goddam thing the mullahs (and unfortunately a lot of other Iranians) would ever do.

#4 I doubt thinking will accomplish anything: they're probably still convinced the Great Satan is powerless to do anything about their ambitions.

At some point, we're gonna have to do something to drive the message home: Jimmy Carter isn't in charge here anymore.

Frankly, I think we shoulda done it on 9/12.

#5 Chirac and the EU wanted international credibility vv IRAN-IAEA and non-American involvement, so how is Chirac and the EU gonna respond to potens Iranian mushrooms over Euro-cities? Clearly Chirac, etal. badly miscalculated in thinking that helping Saddam move and hide his WMD caches in order to discredit America for Socialism/OWG meant FRANCE, etal. was NOT in any danger from Radical Islam. Chirac, like even Radical Islam, has to learn that EVERYONE AND ANYONE IS EXPENDABLE-POL DENIABLE SAVE FOR RUSSIA-CHINA AND COMMUNISM - HELPING DESTROY AND SUBORN AMERICA IS NOT GOING TO SAVE FRANCE, ETAL FROM FUTURE SOVIETIZATION, COMMUNIZATION, STALINIZATION, and ASIANIZATION! The International Lefts has NOT given up on Mackinder's "World Island" concept by a long long LONG SHOT.
