We have a serious problem in the middle east in the form of Iran. A few months ago the Iran, a nation sitting on one of the richest oil reserves in the world began rationing gasoline. Late last week Iran began "mending fences" with its neighbors and for years now Iran has been boasting of its nuclear bomb technology. Although these could be the actions of a nation coming in to the 21st century, it is scary to note that these are also the actions of a nation gearing up for conflict.
With all that we don't know about Iran, looking at what we do know shouldn't make anyone feel any better. Iran is a state backs known terrorist groups like Hezbollah. Iran has bragged that *when* it figures out how to build a nuke it will share it with these groups. We know that nations like France, Germany and Russia are helping to build Iran's nuclear program. The European powers have assured us that Iran is working on peaceful power plants. But these were also the same nations that assured us they weren't trading with Iraq in violation of embargos in the 1990's.
It's possible that Iran was set up. That British sailors were ordered to enter Iranian waters illegally. It's possible (and most leftists will stop reading right there and skip the next important part of this.) But the Western powers haven't made the Iranians humiliate the captured sailors. The Western powers haven't demanded the Iranians deny their captives the right to practice their religion. The Western powers haven't forced the Iranians to make outrageous demands. The Brits have produced satellite data and Iraqi witnesses who claim the English were on the Iraqi side of the border. The Iranians have produced "confessions".
Who do Elitist Liberals believe? What happened to the Geneva Convention? Leftists were beating it over our heads less than a year ago over the supposed US violations. Now that the Iranians are openly breaking it it's okay?
Let's face it, Liberals are racist. They trust and believe Iran: a nation of brown skinned, Islamists. Liberals have multiculturalism stuck so far up their a**e$ that it's coming out their mouths making them say things that defy all of the most basic common sense reactions. The Iranians torture people and behead them for crimes like "being a vampire." We know they do it because they do it in open but the self declared smartest amongst us don't believe it. Then when Leftists even hear a hint that the US is doing it in in secret it's considered #1) credible and #2) the truth. But of course we're guilty, we're a mostly white Christian nation. Can't trust us - ever heard of the Crusades? Of course mentioning Mohammed's conquest of Arabia, Mohammed's descendents destroying the kingdoms in North Africa, the Islamic incursion in to Spain, the Turkish invasions of Eastern Europe and the Muslim carnage in India (which is still going on today) is all out of bounds. It's "racist" - which is interesting cause I always thought Islam was a religion not dependent on factors like race and ethnicity.
The real genius about what the Iranians are doing right now is that they're setting themselves up to be the heroes of stupid western leftists. They're already calling the British hostages "insurgents". They're already telling us their prisons are better than Guantanamo Bay. And when they up the ante and attack us, they'll tell the libs its our fault. Idiot tools like Jack Murtha and Nancy Pelosi eat it up like candy.
I'm sure you lefties are going to read this as my endorsement of a war. How nice of you to stereotype me based on my ethnicity/national identity/and political beliefs. You really need to stop judging people.
