Problem solved prior it's arising => Ahmadinutjob's not an Arab leader.

#3 IRAN > may want up to 50,000 centrifuges + is reportedly desirous of working wid NORTH KOREA to dev BALLISTIC MISSLES or related technologies.* PCorrectness > it doesn't matter iff Iran says before the World its has WMDS or wants nuclear weapons or energy, or even that it desires to attack US-WEstern-Israeli interests or targets, THE BURDEN IS ON THE USA AND ONLY THE USA TO DE FACTO PROVE IRAN IS MEANS + DOING WHAT IRAN'S OWN GOVT SAYS IT IS DOING, ELSE THE USA WILL BE ACCUSED OF FALSELY STARTING A NEW WAR??? ITs NOT for the UNO to stop the bad guys from being bad nor to stop them from threatening others, the greatest burden is on the good guys to prove their reasons for attacking the bad guys. IOW, e.g. GOD + HEAVEN MUST PROVE THEIR REASONS FOR TRYING TO STOP THE DEVIL + EVIL FROM THREATENING THE WORLD. THE BURDEN IS ON GOD TO PROVE + SHOW WHY NOSTRADAMUS' "HIDEOUS BEAST" SHOULD BE STOPPED FROM DESTROYING THE WORLD???

#7 See also STRATEGYPAGE > SYRIA HAS A NEW [WAR/BATTLE] PLAN [AGZ ISRAEL]. Possibly moving 300 SCUDS closer to Israel in order to seemingly let Israel know SYRIA CAN HURT ISRAEL WHILE NOT DESTROYING ISRAEL??? Also Syria wants to expand its 10,000-man "elite infantry" units + capabilities, aka Commandos.

#15 Zen, there is one missing on the list, unless you think he's pushing up daisies.

Putting Osama on the list seemed a little too obvious. I'll add him for decorum's sake. In some respects bin Laden is an also ran in that he cannot possibly maintain the sort of public profile that many on my list do in order to wield the influence they have. To that extent, Assad is a more suitable candidate. What the hell, I'll add both of them. They certainly aren't undeserving of it.

#16 You need not bother putting Binny on your list. He's already Tango Uniform.

#17 I'd certainly like to think so, Mike. Has there ever been any audio or video showing bin Laden that has him making a solid reference to a specific post-9-11 (or thereabouts) event? A media whore like him usually is in the limelight every few months and this protracted silence is more than a little heartening.

#18 Nope. He's been dead for years.
