Or to be more accurate, NOT happening directly to THE POSTER. Truly devastating, earth shattering events ARE happening daily, yet as you are simply recieving filtered down and biased information via the TV or internet directly to the confort of your comfortable and safe home it seems like everything is hunky dory.

It's time for Israel to share nukes with the Arabs. Give a few to Iran, Mecca could use a few, the royals need some, that nice new tower in Dubai needs one and mustn't forget Syria and Lebanon. Just late Christmas presents for the Arabs. No more oil from Middle East for a long time.
Everyone jumping on Israel is like poking a hornets nest, it won't be long until you are stung.
God gave that land to Israel thousands of years ago. The Arabs need to get over it. He is the ultimate landlord. They have no claim to it.
Just have the final war already and get it over with. I'll sit back and watch the world end on TV.

If you crave excitment in your life take up a new and exhilarating hobbie, try some Blowfish...whatever it takes but STOP getting disappointed when a 300 foot mothership doesn't appear over Florida or Traffic Wardens DON'T clobber you with a steel rod for looking at them the wrong way. Life is not an action movie but terrible things DO happen. Get a life and stop cpveting the drama of those less fortunate. TRUST me, you would not want if it it came to you. And I'm NOT talking about poor people in Africa being abducted and turned into hybrids, NOR am I talking about poor Mr and Mrs so-and-so who are repeatedly getting snatched from their beds and operated on while the military oversee the whole thing - I am talking about genocides, fathers being forced to rape their daughters at gunpoint, mothers being lied to about the safety of powdered milk in Africa which has to be mixed with contaminated water, just so huge companies can make a quick buck. I am talking about people forced out of their homelands, denied refugee rights, denied the ability to work and provide money and a roof over the heads of their families. Wake up and grow up. Life is hard, just be thankful you don't have to deal with problems like these everyday. If the biggest problem you have is worrying about how much water, ammo, gold and flaming mung bean shoots you should begin stockpiling for when FEMA come to get you, then you're very VERY lucky.

China and Russia have a big partnership economically and military. They have joint training and recently opened a direct link for better coordonation and communication. Also they are part of the growing Shanghai five, a NATO like entity in Asia.
The UK by itself is not a military power as it once was. It needs the US badly and their Iraq mission is a huge fiasco.
The EU is tired of war. After two world wars and the balkan conflicts they are much less eager to military actions but still capable of course. And I believe EU leaders have realised that force projections and imperalistic wars of conquests dont work. They have seen the rise and falls of Rome, Britain, France and Span as superpowers. The US may soon learn this lesson as well.
As for Iran support, believe me, most of the population in the middle east will support them. They see the West as the greater evil. Governments in many middle estern countries are corrupt and relatively pro american, those who arent prefer to keep a low profile until there is a muslim or middle eastern alliance against the oppression. We are sheeps to the govt and media in the western world, but in the ME they are sheeps to the Kuran and it only take a spark to engulf the entire region in flames.You saw what happened with the muhamad cartoons.
All those countries only keep quiet because AMerica "feeds" them. They live off american overconsumption and wealth. But when America doesnt have the means to pay them enough, more and more will turn against the US.

I am waiting for Israel's announcement to Iran. You know the one, "Our warplanes began bombing Iranian nuclear sites 15 minutes ago."
Iran has been spoiling for a fight for 30 years. I think that they are about to get their wish.
If the US is smart we'll send some stealth bombers in to enhance the effect of the Israeli attacks when they come.

Could Israel's massive assault on Gaza be precursor to an attack on Iran?
