The Iranians are sure feeling their oats lately. With their nuke program being uncovered and their capture of British sailors, that's not the actions of a country that is currently surrounded. We have troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and that's sufficient to mount a 2 front war with a country that is ill-equipped to fight a single front war. Hey, Iran, don't mess with us! I'm putting you freakin' Muslim extremists on notice right now that you don't want to freakin' try to rattle our cage. The American people have had about all they can stand of you stupid towelheads and your brothers in Al-Qaeda aren't helping. You want to have a nuke program? We got that stuff stacked up like cord-wood with nobody to point it at.
Hey, it only took 2 nuke devices to end WW2...maybe it would only take 2 to put your little jihad to rest. Just tell the rest of the ragheads on the planet that they will face a similar fate unless they get back in line or go hide in their tents. We should have nuked Afghanistan but we decided to be magnanimous and duke it out cave by cave. We probably should have nuked Iraq but we didn't. Ever wonder where the WMD's went in Iraq? Maybe the materials ended up in Iran via Syria. You never know. Nuke 'em before they proliferate their technology. We don't need Al-Qaeda possessing an A-bomb. They do enough damage with an airliner.
I'm telling you that unless we eradicate these extremists wherever they roost, we will never be at peace. They have no regard for human life and until we accept that the only way to fight fire is with fire, then we will be constantly playing this retaliation game. Ask Israel what that's like. Everyday, the Palestinians do something and then the Israelis counterpunch. Then the Palestinians counter. And so on. Unless we want to get into a bravo-sierra war like that, we need to strike decisively and with finality. The American people have a short attention span and get bored with anything easily. We live in the age of instant gratification. Microwaves, sound bites, 30 second commercials, instant messaging, etc. Let's just get this over with once and for all to satisfy the ADD-afflicted public so we can concentrate on more important things like 'Survivor,' 'American Idol,' and 'The Real World.' Hey, our politicians are that way too. Afterall, we get the government we deserve. So when John Kerry, Diane Feinstein, and the rest of the Hee-Haw gang want to know why we're fighting in Iraq, we have to excuse them. Their attention spans are only as good as the people that elected them. September 11th happened almost 3 years ago. You can't expect them to still be thinking about that! No. What's more important here is how the voting went on 'American Idol.' Heck, it was just this week that John Kerry remembered that he was a Senator from Massachusetts and needed to show up in DC once in a while to vote (I mean, it is his current job!) Just imagine if he were President. As long as he could accomplish a given task in a week, he'd be alright. Much more than a week though, and he'd lose interest and find something else to tackle. Or he'd change his position on the issue. Hell, he had a whole week to think about it.
It would be a lot like the years between 1992 and 2000. A whole lot of talk about problems when they arise but no action. Action takes too long. There's always a new crisis to replace the old crisis. So what if we never solve anything. To quote a Clintonista, "So what?!" So when you're sitting back enjoying your favorite 'reality' show, ask yourself will it still be as entertaining to you when it's broadcast in Arabic on Al-Jazeera.
