Dude, we live in a global economy. Obama has very little power over the old men behind the curtain. Capitalism and the federal reserve has America by the balls. Stay asleep, consume and watch television. Everything will be okay.

Chickenhawks are quick to say things like "Turn Iran into a sheet of glass" but then what? Try to rebuild Iran like we have been trying to "rebuild" Iraq and Afghanistan for the last ten years?

In this day and age, war is profit driven. The corporations that provide the gears of war will continue this charade upon Americans until we have finally had enough. When will that be? When we are at a 3 trillion dollar war deficit? When our own cities and towns are being bombed to oblivion? When there is another draft? We hope the day never comes but it is close. When Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 it led to the great war. If Iran is attacked, it is estimated that a war of epic proportions will ensue.

The cost of the Iraq war is over 800 billion dollars.

The cost of the Afghanistan war is over 500 billion dollars.

There have been 2888 coalition deaths – United States 1895, Australia 32, Belgium 1, Canada 158, Czech 5, Denmark 42, Estonia 9, Finland 2, France 82, Georgia 10, Germany 53, Hungary 7, Italy 42, Jordan 2, Latvia 3, Lithuania 1, NATO 8, Netherlands 25, New Zealand 5, Norway 10, Poland 35, Portugal 2, Romania 19, South Korea 1, Spain 34, Sweden 5, Turkey 2 and United Kingdom 398 in the war on terror as of February 18, 2012 been reported by the government. At least 15,322 US personnel have been wounded in action, according to the Pentagon.

Nearly 4500 American soldiers and civilians have died in the sands of Iraq and 31,922 have been maimed and injured. Countless men and women suffer from PTSD upon returning with very little opportunity to lead a productive life as they make their way home, god bless them.

Over 140,000 Iraqis have died violently since the invasion. /-24,000 of them being of enemy nature, /-15,000 being foreign fighters and the rest are civilian casualties. These numbers vary depending who you ask, I cross referenced CIA.gov and Wikipedia.

Iran is not a poor country like Iraq and Afghanistan. If Iran is attacked by Israel you can expect the United States to get dragged into it. Russia and China most of Europe and for that matter, everyone else will align themselves with Iran and this could more than likely cause a third world war.

America is still trying to clean up it's image any way we can. We are considered the aggressor in many eyes and not just the middle east. It is without question not in our best interests to start another war over there.

Are we ready for another war? Are you ready to be attacked on American soil and watch your children die in your arms, blown to bits as so many others have in the last 10 years. I would hope that most of you agree with me that no Ally is worth being attacked on our own soil.

It is easy to sit in your chair in the comfort of your home, watching the television as men women and children on the other side of the world are being killed.

Iran knows that any attempt to attack Israel would only amount to their own destruction and inhalation. They are not going to attack anyone unless attacked first.

Iranians are Persians, not Arabs. If Israel/America attacks them it will create a depression like nothing seen in our short history and neither nation can afford such a catastrophic event.

Apparently you are a mad fatty as well. It must suck being you.

You must be fat.

When I travel outside of the United States for even moderate periods of time it is always alarming to me how fat everyone is when I return. Fatties wearing tennis shoes, T-shirts and baseball caps is a lone attribute of the USA.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that is not a reality star type joke. The GOP better get it together if they plan on beating Obama in 2012. Most independents see nothing of value and without their vote none of these guys can win. Watching these debates is like watching a jerry springer show.

Sounds like a kosher deal to me. Shalit is more than likely brainwashed at this point and will defect upon arrival.

I am a independent that is disgusted with the crazy religious nuts that have invaded the Republican party. Religion is a personal issue and should stay out of politics. Keep that crazy talk in the church where you pay to get brainwashed. Sheep..

Boy,

The word for today is "Job" J. O. B. Considering you failed to graduate high school, missed out on college and are now living with your mother and I, it is time that you find a job. I have left the addresses of 12 different fast food places for you to apply. This trailer is only big enough for yer Maw and I and she is getting tire of having to wear the ball gag to suppress her squealing when I make sweet love to her anus.

We both love you like the son/nephew that you are but it would be a lot better if you would leave.

Sincerely,

Your Father

And your intellectual superiority to others is fascinating. What University did you attend?
