I don't have to explain a damn thing to you So, do you not think a war of this magnitude with Iran will affect the very fragile world economy?

They are saying this will likely be a G4 storm http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/NOAAscales/ Power systems: possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems will mistakenly trip out key assets from the grid. Spacecraft operations: may experience surface charging and tracking problems, corrections may be needed for orientation problems. Other systems: induced pipeline currents affect preventive measures, HF radio propagation sporadic, satellite navigation degraded for hours, low-frequency radio navigation disrupted, and aurora has been seen as low as Alabama and northern California (typically 45° geomagnetic lat.)**.

I disagree, During the last "little ice age" volcanic activity was intense, volcanoes emit way more gaseous substances than coal factories & vehicles yet the earth was cooling That is proof alone that "greenhouse gasses" don't affect the temperature on a world wide scale One of the hottest years on record was decades a go.. before warming ever started to happen, I don't think you can tell me that "greenhouse gasses" caused that

tonight the GG will give royal ASSent to this royally pain in the omniBUTT crime bill

Europe is just hanging on a thread.. the U.S can't afford to go more trillions in debt, China is barely hanging on Any one of these places goes down and the rest of the world will go down with them

Don't tell the global warming freaks this but scientists are predicting a little ice age for the next 30 years, it is the sun that dictates our weather, not pollution http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/03/07/lorne-gunter-for-climate-cues-look-to-the-sun/ Scientists who have made careers of studying the sun warn that our star is about to enter a less-active phase — a solar minimum that could last 30 years or longer. If that happens, some physicists see a worldwide return to the temperatures of the Little Ice Age (LIA). Not coincidentally, the deepest part of the LIA — during the late 17th century — was the last time our sun generated as few sunspots and as little geomagnetic activity as it appears set to generate for the next few decades.

Too bad it will be cloudy here all week, I miss living up north, I'd see the Northern Lights many times

a war with iran will crash the worlds economy none of what you said will matter

http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/44424/most-canadians-think-robocalls-were-used-broadly-in-last-election/ Most Canadians Think Robocalls Were Used Broadly in Last Election Four-in-five respondents call for an independent investigation to find out who was behind the misleading robocalls made in the 2011 federal ballot.

Angus Reid surveys a thousand Canadians and finds that “almost two thirds … think the Guelph occurrence is ‘probably’ or ‘definitely’ one of many that took place in the last federal campaign,” including 47% of Conservative supporters. Respondents were then asked how likely each of the federal parties was to “provide false and misleading information to voters through telephone calls with pre-recorded messages during a political campaign.” Only a third of respondents in Canada think the Green Party (32%) and the New Democratic Party (NDP) (33%) are “very likely” or “moderately likely” to rely on this tactic. In Quebec, 32 per cent of respondents think the Bloc Québécois is likely to use robocalls with misleading information. A majority of Canadians believe the Liberal Party (55%) and the Conservative Party (63%) are likely to provide false and misleading information to voters through telephone calls with pre-recorded messages during a political campaign. In fact, two-in-five Canadians (39%) think the Tories are “very likely” to rely on this tactic. http://www2.macleans.ca/2012/03/07/brand-management-2/

Just because you lived through "Scary commie crap" doesn't mean a thing! The world right now is more dangerous than it ever was during the height of the cold war

B.C I know you love war and all, it gets you off, but the crazy thing is most people do not like war and 99 % of the time war is not necessary

I realize you're old and going to die within 10 years probably but for people who are young and going to be living in this world another 40 + years this is important, it's not something to make jokes about

The U.S is weak & vulnerable & cannot afford to get bogged down in another multi trillion dollar war Everybody knows this, it's the perfect time to capitalize on it

Another war would surely collapse the American economy. In fact this war would collapse the world economy so I disagree Afghanistan and the U.S have bitter relations, Pakistan & Afghanistan will come as a package to whatever side ..I don't know, but I can't see them supporting the U.S anymore..too much has went on to damage those relationships, you may disagree though Well Brazil is turning away boats with Falkland & British flags (including British Royal Navy ships) and there is this http://en.mercopress.com/2012/02/01/brazil-reiterates-support-for-argentina-denies-any-blockade-to-the-falklands “Our position in support of the legitimate rights of Argentina over the Malvinas Islands sovereignty is historic. They come since the English took over the Islands in 1833: the then Brazilian empire, already independent, supported Argentina’s protest in London”, said Benoni Belli head of the Meridian Americas Desk at the Brazilian Foreign Affairs ministry.

Dumb answer Dumb question Dumb statement Really dumb statement Do you have anything worthwhile to add to this discussion? Like how certain are you that a nuclear Pakistan won't side with their buddy Iran?

You think the U.S public would agree to fight South America? yeah right!, how much in debt are you? 14 trillion or more?! you can't even afford to go to war with Iran let alone go to war against South America, it's hilarious how you seem to be in denial about how limited you are now The U.K is in the same boat, half their military is gone and they are deeeep in the hole, they can barely afford to fight 1 war let alone 2 The US & UK economies will COLLAPSE

http://www.examiner.com/united-nations-in-national/pakistan-iran-afghanistan-enter-into-alliance It doesn't say whether they'd support Iran if the U.S invaded them but they do have an alliance and should not be shrugged off as "well they are our allies too" http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/oct/23/afghanistan-pakistan-us-hamid-karzai The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, has said he would side with Pakistan in the event of war with the US in a surprising political twist that is likely to disconcert his western allies. "If there is war between Pakistan and America, we will stand by Pakistan," Karzai said in a television interview. He put his hand on his heart and described Pakistan as a "brother" country. Afghanistan and U.S ties are not good at all, neither are US Pakistani ties..I see no reason why these countries would not side with their alliance partner Iran Why wouldn't they? South & Central America are Anti American, they realize U.S power is dwindling and this would be the perfect time to strike back ..that is after all they developed their own "bloc" afterall, they wanted some balance on their side http://www.thenational.ae/news/world/middle-east/us-threatened-by-irans-relationship-with-latin-america WASHINGTON // Iran has moved to substantially increase its diplomatic, trade and military ties to countries in South America, posing a new challenge to US authority in the Western Hemisphere, a group of experts told a joint congressional subcommittee on Tuesday. The westward expansion has helped Iran blunt the effect of US and UN sanctions, several witnesses told members of the House foreign affairs committee. Some said the developments pose a direct security threat to the United States. "By developing close regional ties, Iran has the ability to leapfrog its international isolation, while making common cause with others who have self-identified as opposing the United States and other western nations," said Eric Farnsworth, vice president of the Council of the Americas, who testified at the hearings. "At the very least, these are issues that should be watched with a careful, wary eye."

What is your objection to my comments? That you don't think Iran will have any allies?

Its the best opportunity they'd have in decades, U.K will have to decide to cut their losses and let them take it if whatever military they have left is concerned with Iran, the U.S is involved against Iran.. who is going to stop them? nobody

and still going to lose the presidential election

I love how there are a lot of simple minded people on this board though that believe no country will have Iran's back, you clearly are not taking every consideration into account You think it will be just a minor bombing campaign... yeah okay, what are you people smoking?

U.K was bogged down sure but they have had to cut their military drastically this past year meanwhile back then their military was all up and running

Are you under the assumption that Iran has no allies?

look what happened in Iraq, thanks to you getting rid of Saddam (Iran's # 1 enemy at the time) look at the power vacuum you created
