#1 The idea Mr. Boeing, is to keep the Iranian bastards from engaging in safe flight.
Any parts they receive will go to military planes first.
God forbid they attack us with a plane containing those 'spare parts'

#2 Selling scrap iron to the Japanese in the late 1930's. History always seem to repeat itself.

#3 They don't have to be serviceable parts. They could even be parts with built-in flaws . . . . if you catch my drift.

#4 Doubtful any Boeing parts would have any application to anything Iran has that is military; their F-5/T-38 and F-14 force is Northrop/Grumman
But assisting them in any way is just stupid.

#5 We will be firm and resolute. Except where large corporate donors are concerned.

#6 I side with Boeing on this. Craft is not only used in Iran and not only Iranians fly in it. Iranians are not the problem, regime behavior is.

#7 I dunno, newc. Some of us are still pissy about that whole embassy hostage crisis thingie. A long time ago, maybe. But the exact same folks are running the country today.

#8 Haven't we been at war with Iran since they attacked us in 1979?
