I forgot to tell everyone, but I was watching Fox News a few days ago and I saw a segment where I think it was a retired general said that Iran was probably making threats of World War III in order to discourage anyone (more specifically, us) from helping Israel.

Also, I wanted to tell everyone about President Ahmedinejad's speech at the United Nations a few days ago. I didn't watch his entire speech, but I read some of his speech. He didn't talk much about the United States or Israel like he usually does, but he did talk about the twelfth Imam quite a bit.



I completely agree with you vundy33 with this. But we can't avoid war when the people who want to kill us are trying to build a nuclear weapon. If we set "a red line" as Prime Minister Netanuahu mentioned in his United Nations speech, it would greatly discourage Iran from trying to build a nuclear weapon. And if Iran continues to build a nuclear weapon past that "red line", that gives us just cause to attack Iran and prevents Iran from claiming "innocence" in the matter.

And by the way, I also wanted to add what I said about destroying the mindset of radical Islam. I've been thinking and have realized that it would probably be very difficult for Christianity to destroy radical Islam simply because it's difficult to try and talk to someone about the bible when they have been raised to passionately hate you and be completely ignorant in their own radical beliefs. Billy Graham talked about how there's a limit that an individual can reach in that if that individual sins enough, their heart becomes hardened enough to where the gospel has no effect on them and, therefore, they have no hope of being saved. It's sad to mention that, but I personally believe at least some of these radical Islamists are in that condition since they have so much hatred for others and they're so obsessed and closed-minded about their radical religion. Therefore, preaching the gospel to them would have little to no chance of converting them. I've never met a radical Islamist, but judging the "savage beasts" who are willing to kill others for their own religious beliefs, that's how I would judge them.

I don't think Iran would hit us...it would be the end of them. I don't think a nuclear Iran would hit Israel either, no matter how much they say they will. Iran makes alot of threats, but hardly ever go through with them, even when we dare them too. But, I'm sure that Israel wouldn't want to take the chance and I don't blame them. Nothing good could come out of a nuclear Iran.

On the last paragraph...would you listen to a Muslim trying to bring you over to their side, and "save" you? No, you wouldn't...and they're not going to listen to any Christian. Christianity, and white people in general, have brought these people nothing but bad things...most never see any of the aid we give them because it's all sucked up by the wealthy few. But they care about their god as much as you care about yours...and alot of them, especially uneducated, are easy to manipulate..a lot like what's happening in our own country right now. The problem isn't with their religion, it's with their leadership who know better...look at Jordan. It's as Muslim as any other country, but their leadership isn't only looking out for themselves, and now that country is one of the hottest vacation spots on earth. The people are the same everywhere...the problem is the few behind the scenes pulling the strings.

The worst thing you could do to a Muslim is treat them like they're stupid animals and talk down to them...it's been proven over and over, it doesn't work with any group of people, not just them. Trying to convert them wouldn't do any good because they are not going to change. Fix their leadership, don't make them feel like they're just pawns in a foreigners game, and boom...a lot of problems will end. No group of people on earth will put up with a foreigner coming into their land and giving them orders...just because Muslims don't like it doesn't make them evil.

All I'm saying is, watch what you wish for. This country can't handle another conflict, it just can't. It will be the end of us. A lot of people who asked for these wars we're just now getting out of ate their words real quick. This isn't the America of old...we are not on top anymore, and we don't represent the best of the best anymore. We can't just go to war anytime we want and rebound from it like nothing happened. These actions have consequences, and if we become another occupier, we're so screwed. God knows Israel won't be able to chill in Iran.

Hopefully Israel hits Iran's nuclear capability hard, and ends it. Because if we have to intervene on the ground, it's going to get messy, fast. It'll make the bloodiest times in Afghan and Iraq look like a weekend vacation. I just dread it.
