If you still have an itch I can recommend a lot of reading, but hey-who's got time? Theres a lot of news on XM: from Cspan to Cnn to BBC, PRI, ABC, WLW etc.etc and if you really cant help it: Fox. A driver could easily inform himself by listening to several of those regularly but be sure to get diversity so you get the big picture. Get off your holier than thou attitude, you are no better than anyone else just because you are home every other night. I have been buying newspapers in truck stops for years, its nothing new, just maybe to you!!!!! It’s all still brought to us by man himself, which is the interpretation of the one reporting or writing it!!! Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see, and then you may know the truth!!! You’re not that special, nor any better than anyone on this site!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re not ready to run with the big dogs YET......lol....

This, of course, would only require conventional weapons.... not nukes! There are other suggestions of completely shutting down their business links outside their country. This would have devastating affects on them. I absolutely agree that it is time to get TOUGH! But, I CANNOT sanction turning innocent (democracy loving) youth into GLASS!! I don't remember the exact quote but Regan said that when we quit helping the one guy over there that it was a sin and we would not forget it. See.... this is what I mean about Americans not understanding World politics. Iran is one of the FEW countries in the area where the YOUTH movement is PRO-Democracy and PRO-American. They remember how much better their parent's lives were under the Shah. They are tired of wearing Burkhas. They love Rock N Roll, and want FREEDOM. THESE are the kinds of YOUTH and future leaders that we should want to HELP, and encourage. THEY are perhaps our ONLY chance of turning things around in the Muslim world...... and YOU (and others) want to INCINERATE them?? :roll:

Since this country has a history of this kind of behavior, action is indeed needed and not diplomacy. :wink:

I guess you're just to smart for everyone on this forum. Get over yourself and your self righteous attitude.

What's YOUR excuse? :roll: As for 1979, well.... I guess diplomacy got them home. How did that military rescue effort work out? Wonder what we'd have gotten back if we let YOU Nuke 'em??? :shock:

Yet you decry Carter simply because he was a Democrat, and praise Reagan because he was a Republican. Yet it was REAGAN who used diplomacy and back door negotiations who got them home. And you give NO credit to Carter, who wanted to use force! You guys make NO SENSE!!! You're so blinded by party politics, you can't even see, and don't CARE, about the actual FACTS!! And THAT, folks.... is how Dubya got elected the second time!!! (He STOLE the first one!) :lol: Check Please!!

The only reason Bush got elected the second time is because he was better for the country at that time than John Carry not because he is who we wanted.
