#2 And their little dog Ahmadinejad, well who cares. He is just a mouthpiece for the M2IC.

And do not forget the M2's assets (businesses, property owned, etc) on your coordinate list, .com

Maybe they can be taken out first, and let the people string up your list by themselves.

#3 Now wait a sec there, buddy, do you know what an ellipsis means? Huh, do ya?

Any damned thing I want it to! Lol.

Yeah, I was indicating all those goodies I couldn't yank out of the article and grouping them in the sequence and lazily representing them with the ellipsis. Sue me, lol.

As for the folks, those Persians, I read an article somewhere today that really depressed me. It indicated that, independent of their opinion of the Mullahs, that something like 80% of Persians - across all age and other lines - support the nuke pgm. Muzzy Viagra. Fuck. So they might say "Thank ya!" if we offed the MMs for 'em, but they'd be extra pissed if we took away the new toys.

Sucks to be them, then. Life is, indeed, very very hard on stupid people and people with tiny dicks.

#4 I will have to reluctantly agree with you, .com. If the people of Iran were less divided, they would have booted the MMs out by now. Hopefully we have some contacts in-country (rebel groups, some military folks) that can help tip things when we attack. It has to be overwhelming, quick, and deadly. We may not get a second chance on this one to be relatively clean.

#5 they do have a dissident middle class, but they really appear to be lazy, huh? I had a better feeling about the next gov't after a decap strike, but am getting (if possible) more cynical. I and AP are really of the opinion that not only do we have to attack those targets you mentioned, .com, but also the personal assets.wealth onf teh MM's. They are less a clerical theocracy than a beturbanned gang with weakass rhetoric. How does a pious man of Allah become a multi-millionaire, anyway?

#7 Agreed. Gotta get it right the first go 'round... while most who directly benefit from the removal of the threat will sit on their hands and, later, criticize how we did it.
