These "evil Muslims" are so arrogant that 99% of em' will NOT have an A/C unit in their huts. Also, they think farming is the work of satan....."Or is farming bneath them?"....oh brother....sarcasm all around. Quote

M.Dancer Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 Probably the only reason the country hasn't been invaded yet.

BC_chick Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 Iran has been invaded repeatedly over the centuries and as recently as the second world war, Iran was occupied by Britain and Russia You're correct. My mistake. I meant they haven't been invaded in the war on "terra." I remember reading an article about the war-game simulations that the US has conducted, and the mountains are the primary reason it'd make an invasion impossible. That's why tactical strikes are the only option if there is to be war. Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine."

Whatever floats your boat.It comes down to - it's not a desert as jbg said and it's not going to get invaded. No, I said that the Arabs would never use desert for productive purposes. They do just fine using it as a killing field (link) (excerpts below): July 17, 2005 THE STRUGGLE FOR IRAQ: VIOLENCE; SUICIDE BOMBER IGNITES TANKER, KILLING 59 IRAQIS By KIRK SEMPLE; QAIS MIZHER CONTRIBUTED REPORTING FOR THIS ARTICLE, AND AN IRAQI EMPLOYEE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES CONTRIBUTED REPORTING FROM MOSUL, AND NAZILA FATHI FROM TEHRAN. A suicide bomber wrapped in explosives detonated himself next to a gasoline tanker south of Baghdad on Saturday night, creating a devastating fireball that killed at least 59 and wounded 86 , an Iraqi police official said. The bombing, one the most deadly suicide attacks since the American invasion of Iraq, appeared to target a nearby Shiite mosque and a crowded open-air market and came as the streets teemed with cars, pedestrians, shoppers and worshipers enjoying the relative cool of the evening. The bombing, in Musayyib, about 40 miles south of the capital, was the latest in an unrelenting string of dramatic suicide bombings that have killed scores of people and severely challenged the American command, which only a month ago claimed that military offensives had sharply undermined the ability of the insurgents to launch attacks and cut the number of suicide bombings in half. ***** Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

buffycat Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 jbg: "No, I said that the Arabs would never use desert for productive purposes." Horse shit. Also, I love the way you always lump all Arabs together - oh and just a reminder Iranians are not Arabs - they are Persians. BTW - what about the Marsh Arabs? What about the early use of Hydroponics in Iraq? Predates even your precious little state of Israel! "Although there has been a lot of recent interest in hydroponics this method of growing dates back to 600 BC wuth the Hanging Gardens of Babylon located in what is now southern Iraq. King Nebuchadrezzar The Second built a series of hanging and terraced gardens to cosole his wife and remind her of her undulating and lush homeland. The king built a series of terraces which were roofed with stone on which was laid various materials in layers. Reeds, bitumen and lead were used so that inorganic water could seep through the terraces. Water was pumped to the gardens from the River Euphrates." So, again you are full of absolute bigotted horse hooey!! Does it not occur to you that people are simply just people? How can you hold a whole group responsible for the actions of their so-called leaders? Especially if that country happens not to be a representative democracy. In my view, it's pretty much only in democracies where one can hold 'part' of the population responsible. In dictatorships the people have no voice. But nevermind - as I am sure any kind of reason or logic will simply fly over your head as you are blinded by your own hatred of Muslims and Arabs.

betsy Posted June 12, 2007 Report Posted June 12, 2007 Oh darn. I recall a conversation I had with an Iranian about a couple of years ago in a convenience store. He was gleeful about the storm disasters the US was having....saying like, "see? they are are being punished because they are evil!" I wonder what he's saying now? Quote

Comparing a cyclone (mother nature, not preventable) to Hitler in WWII (could have been prevented, but most of Europe gave into Hitler's demands to 'reunify' some countries back into Germany. Some countries that were never part of Germany. Even after Hitler took parts of Belguim, the former Checz Republic, and stormed Poland, Europe did little until it was too late and there was an all out brawl in Europe). I hope there was a point in your post. And mind for that matter. Quote
