#1 Martyrdom would solve Iran's economic woes: Ahmadinejad

Ahmadinejad, "Problems? heh No Problems."

"Go Kill Yourself".

#4 As warned times before, to preclude either NUCLEAR RADICAL IRAN ANDOR ISLAMIST NUCLEAR TERROR, the choices for the USA is to either wage war or "regime change" iff Iran continues to refuse to give up its nuke activities. AT THE RATE MOUD IS GOING, "REGIME CHANGE" OR PEACEFUL CHANGE MAY COME TOO LATE TO PRECLUDE A US-IRAN WAR. 2020 and after > BOTH THE USA + IRAN > ITS GOING TO GET HARDER AND HARDER FOR ONE TO MILITARILY = PEACEFULLY STOP THE OTHER. Both nations OWG, etc agendas are BULLS/ELEPHANTS IN A CHINA SHOP???

#7 Joe's right that our commitment to individual and national freedom clashes irrevocably with the Islamicists. And both clash with China's expanding nationalism and economic clout.

What remains to be seen is how two other forces will play in this: demographics and technology. On the demographic side, China will age rapidly, Iran is overwhelmed with young people it can't employ productively and we're somewhere in the middle, depending on what we do re: immigration (i.e. without it we're slipping towards the Euro posture on having kids).

On the technology side, nano-manufacturing and robotics could disrupt economic stability for all concerned. Strap on your seatbelts, brethren & sistren.

#9 He did not say how becoming a martyr would help the economy, which is struggling from high inflation.

Well, it would help the per capita numbers...
