    I think the worst case scenario is that on August 22nd, Iran tests a nuclear device. That's probably what this guy has planned as his "answer" to the U.N.

    Remember, Iran doesn't even have the technology to hit Israel. So I doubt anything is going to come to an end.

    Bernard Lewis lost his mind a loooong time ago...but entertaining read nevertheless.

    The irony of the situation here is that both Iran and the USA have apocalyptic visions of the world, and are so convinced of their 'righteousness' and that 'God is on my side' that they both might be tempted to do something just a little crazy.

    It's fun that we have extremists gaining power in the US, Israel, and Iran all at the same time...what could possibly go wrong? :eek:

    They are going to be losing their power in the US, starting in November.

    I asked Miss Cleo what would happen on the 22nd and she told me to ask my bossman for a raise.

    Who cares about nukes? I'm getting a raise!

    Iran supplies Hizballah, a group that has proven they can hit at least Haifa with Iranian weapons.

    Well Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez met with the Iranian leaders who met with Hezbollah, so can we attack Venezuela, too?

    Beside the axis of evil is not fully up to strength. Iraqis hates the guts of our foreign occupying troops, but have been removed and Bush pretends they love us. So let's add Venezuela to the axix of evil. :rolleyes:

    I am seriously thinking of joining that message board as well. The problem is that I already waste too much time here. I could sucked in over there with all the beauty taking place on those boards.

    Plus I don't know if I could play it straight all the time. dieheathendie might be taken as a screan name as well. So it would be a bitter pill to swallow if I had choose something different.

    It is a great messageboard, and maybe I will just read it and lurk for now. I think my favorite poster might be BlessedX4. But that is the obvious choice. Maybe as I read more I will find some more subtle favorites.

    Oh great, that's all I need is someone to egg me on. :) I will join this afternoon. I will keep peeking in and observing, and will definitely start nice and easy, before the fun really starts.

    The problem is every time I read a thread, I become stunned and little overwhelmed by what I am reading. It's like being in another land where different lawas of physics apply. I'm a little disoriented the whole time I am reading.
