Pretty sure I was looking for the term Nazi, you don't know the difference in meanings between the words, probably due to all those torpedoes fired into your porthole that messed up your brain while on ship... Also like it or not Jewish people come from brown stock.....



Got it, you're ignorant and a bigot.

Meltdown? Not hardly. I'm not going to respond with logic or facts when you go straight for personal attacks when you're called out on you're crap.

You two cats gtfo of a decent thread.


I'm pretty sure Rosie is painting a picture here that is about 90% correct. I wonder though how this differs from Saddam's Oil for food program...

Neither China nor Iran need the approval of the UN to conduct their bartering of oil for goods/services. If the UN said 'hey, you stop that' do you think they would? Do you think the EU would cease to do business with China knowing Germany depends greatly on its exports? Do you think the UN would also levy sanctions against China and Russia? The latter are adhering to the letter of the sanctions despite the fact that they both voted against them.


Food for oil was instituted by Clinton with the blessings of the UN to directly assist the Iraqi people. Hussein siphoned off billions for his personal use as well as 'taxed' the imports to ensure even greater personal revenues. In the end, it had nothing to do with the Iraqi people. Iran isn't playing that game at all. They want technology, infrastructure, and Western goods. They are getting them despite sanctions through Russia and China. To make a long story short, Iran is not as hated as Iraq was and Iran wants to break the back of the petrodollar. They're a whole different ball of wax.

Easily. Drop all sanctions, open up trade with Iran, meet and greet the people by heavily promoting tourism, institute foreign exchange programs that are well funded, open up business exchanges, import more Western music, import Iranian goods [something more than their unbelievably gorgeous rugs] and open up the Internet to the Iranian people. And most importantly, the next time the Iranian people ask for help, give it to them.


Iran is not Cuba. They have something everyone else wants. We have what they want. This should not be rocket science.

What was Iraq hated most for though? Their oil for food program or Saddam trying to get off the petro dollar as well?

Okay and officially let everyone who wants to get the bomb? What if someone feels threatened by that? Is that not a legitimate reaction?
