If you are talking about the nut case picking a fight with a Iran, you are correct. He is rapidly losing support and the country he represents is a Paper Tiger. See article below...

If you are referring to President Bush, I suggest you offer an alternative to threatening armed conflict (or ultimately doing so) to prevent an incredibly hostile terrorist nation from acquiring WMDs. So, since you are ostensibly not a nutcase, as you would label my President, what do you offer as an alternative? May I also suggest that perhaps you got the “NUTCASE” WRONG? HE IS IN TEHERAN, NOT DC.

As a critic of the President, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, which I might even share on occasion. However, when you criticize a substantive policy, you had better be ready to offer an alternative. Of course, re: Iran, you can’t and won’t. Get over Iraq and stop trying to punish our nation for the Iraq issue. Iran is waiting. Don’t let politics get into this. Up until recently, I was a registered Democrat. Iran must be stopped and your hatred for Bush is so intense (I don’t like him either) that you lose sight of the threat emanating from it. Moreover, from the tone of your arguments, it is clear that you do not understand the threat posed by Iran.

The alternative I offer for President Bush and his neocons is simply Mind Your Own Business (MYOB). I know it sounds really absurd for the busybody types, but it has worked rather well for Switzerland and other countries. Since we've haven't done likewise for a very long time and we seem to get ourselves into one armed conflict after another (no matter which party is in power)...it is worth a try, don't you think? :)

I would suggest a nuclear non-proliferation policy that is not discriminatory, i.e. a policy that would pressure other countries to give up on nuclear weapon development.

Countries like India -- that the current administration has not discouraged if it hasn't outright encouraged concerning nuclear weapon technology; Pakistan -- one of those 1980's type American buddies like Saddam and Iraq -- who knows where Pakistan will be 10 years from now; Isreal -- who has no inspections concerning its nuclear weapon program and North Korea.

Others can see right through a policy that is discriminatory and through Washington politicians who practice lies and slander against their challengers, and who simply buy their offices via campaign contributions.

It needs to go WAY MORE DOWN if inflation is expected to be contained. That's what all these markets are eyeballing & combating; INFLATION. We can thank those at Valero and others alike who got that 200 - 500% profit increase last year. They've screwed the world, its business communities and those trying to survive the world markets abroad. :mad:
 
It's a setup to create a lack of supply for this hurricane season & summer, to create reason for more profit through higher prices at the pumps. Just look at the oil futures; the writing is on the wall to February 2007. These greedy SOB's ain't gonna loose a blood nickle. We will see $80 - $85 dollar a barrel oil before October 2006. :notrust: Where do you think the 200 - 500% profits come from?
