I wish I could be on these protesters side I do. But these were the same people that praised 9/11 in the streets, the same people that if a book came out that offended them would be in the streets burning cars. Its not about democracy or a rigged election, its the protest of the day next week will be something else. This is just my opinion of a culture that hates everything american or western. They hated us for Iraq remember? So sorry if Im not sold. I say F!@K em let em burn.

Antifascist – you write as if you are the prototype Pavlov's dog of the leftist media. Conservatives want no such thing as to slaughter innocent Iranians. Do you honestly believe this? Conservatives of the American tradition support FREEDOM – let us get that little chimera of the left that conservatives want to oppress people out of the way right now.

By the way, did you read the article, or do you advocate the free world stand by and watch a Second Holocaust at the hands of a nuclear Iran?

If you think this is a frivolous charge, did you read the news that Al Qaeda would turn Pakistani nukes against the U.S.? Terrorists and their sponsors are not imaginary arch-villains created by conservatives. They are real and they kill people who do not accord with their ideology.

As for being "anti-fascist," I can't wait to read your critique of the Obama administration. Please do yourself a favor and learn the definition of fascism and stop applying it to American conservatives, for it is risible, to say the least.

And what do you live for, except hating conservatives and spreading your insane conspiracy theories? You don´t even care enough about Iranians to stop foaming at the mouth for a second.

The Mullahs already re-frame any problem as a "them versus foreign meddlers" issue all the time. All brutal regimes do it. You should not assume that Iranians are too stupid to know who is oppressing and impoverishing whom, and why.

If the Mullahs are holding back from ordering an all-out massacre they do so out of their own calculations. What holds them back is the hope that they can survive using other methods. Probably they prefer to pick off enough protestors after dark, out of sight, as they have been doing for many years. If they start the "holocaust" you are talking about – assuming they can – it will be because they have their backs to the wall, no matter how they got there. They do not buy on their own cover stories. Neither do their henchmen (they are already implicated in all kinds of crimes). And their victims certainly would not believe the excuses. But arabs and western liberals may.

So the question remains: should we want this regime to go down hard now or should we want it to survive to acquire nuclear weapons – holocaust postponed but not cancelled? Because it will not survive for ever.

Bob, I’m not talking about invasion here, but in no uncertain terms let the freedom fighters in the streets of Iran know that we are on their side. We have an opportunity that may not appear for another generation to lance the theocracy of the mad Ayatollahs of Iran. It must not be squandered on the hope that somehow Akmadenanutjob and his present day fascist can be negotiated with and take a position somewhere sort of, “death to America,” maybe they’ll just let us bleed for a while?

Bob, also as far as Auntie is concerned no one takes him seriously, but I’m sure you know that. I wouldn’t want him on my team either.

Well, in the event that we find any Republicans who actually do eat children alive, we'll owe him an apology.

You obviously think it's a waste of time arguing with us, Anti. Why don't you drop the straw men and ad-hominems and go do something more useful, like baking a pie?

anti,

That is at once unhelpful, uncalled for and bordering on the slanderous. You owe the people you're speaking of, however indirectly, an apology.
