A final note, now that your id is pasted in the file.

Whether Iran can manage to cobble together a few nuclear warheads while
crippled by sanctions or whether they have to wait another 10-15 years
to pick up where they left off is of no importance to me.

The basic reason why is this: Iran is never going to drop the bomb on
Israel, if they did they would be annihilating one of the politically
holiest of political holy lands: Palestine. They'd wipe out what is
left of the Palestinian people, and ensure that millions of the
dispossessed can never return to their homeland. They'd also foul the
environment in Syria, Jordan and Egypt for a generation or two. What a
looney idea to think they would do that. Oh but they're *crazy*,
right? REAL crazy!! So very very crazy that we need to sign many more
billion-dollar contracts with manufacturers of bombs, tanks, planes and
anything Halliburton makes. We have all the money in the world to give
to industrialists if we're all real scared of crazy crazy Mooslims!
Hell--I think there's one at my door right now!! Even if there isn't,
I should go buy 3 or 4 more handguns, right? So they can rust with the
rest.

Twenty years ago it was a communist at my front door, and 60 years
before that it was Italian anarchists--and four two centuries urban
black predators were outside all my windows.

So these are some of the ideas that I'd be interested in discussing,
but when people can't corral their logical thinking in there ahead of
their emotional thinking, when they can't subvert their emotional
anguish to the utility of their rhetorical purpose... well, what the
hell, I already have radio.

You can be sure that an argument that is punctuated by personal
invective is a marker that the speaker doesn't want to discuss
anything, he wants to trade talking/thinking for fighting and noise as
quick as possible; it's so much easier. The recitation of the daily
"conservative" agitprop isn't just about propaganda and bogus
arguments, it's also about *agitation*. Agitation is the most
important part.

Get a good night's sleep. Everything will be just the same tomorrow.
