Absolutely no doubt about that. Syria would likely go also. I have a hard time believing they are really that suicidal.

Not China!  I work with a number of Chinese students and visiting scientists.  In Western China, they face problems with Islamic fundamentalists, too.  We just don't get to hear as much about it due to the whole government controlled media over there.

Erm...and don't forget about the little N. Korean thing either.

Phillipines?  Nope.  

Japan?  Remember their little subway gassing incident by the doomsday cult?

Nutcases with agendas are everywhere.

There's NOTHING in Western China and no foreigner will ever settle there.  Maybe the China that i'm thinking about is the eastern provinces.  I'm confident the PLA can handle the terrorists in "East Turkestan" (Xinjiang) if they start doing something fishy...

Japan would be a nice place to live in peace but they only let few gaikokujins[/] to live there (less than 5% of total population)

And in the Philippines... that country is in bad shape.  Almost all of my relatives from my father's side left that country in early 90s.  It's so bad that the Philippines have to deal with the JIHADISTS, COMMUNISTS, and the people within the government (destabilizers).

Bernard Lewis, picked up on the 8/22 theme in the Wall St. Journal yesterday (I'd link directly to the article, but WSJ is subscription only). Lewis is easily one of the West's leading scholars on the subject of modern Islam.

Maybe you should have quoted the whole article Seagoon, because Lewis finishes with a statement that undermines your past contention that the problem is with the root and branch of Islam and not a disturbed minority as I keep reminding you.

In the long term, it would seem that the best, perhaps the only hope is to appeal to those Muslims, Iranians, Arabs and others who do not share these apocalyptic perceptions and aspirations, and feel as much threatened, indeed even more threatened, than we are. There must be many such, probably even a majority in the lands of Islam.

Iran airbursts a nuke high in the atmosphere.  No damage, but quite a light show.

It would have to be very high for the emp not to do any damage.

No damage. Unless you count the radioactive fallout.

The U.S. has airburst alot of nuclear weapons.  No lasting damage.

No damage when the burst wasn't over anything, like a fleet of ships that were damaged or sunk when it was.

I think it it would be almost as much of a mistake for them to detonate a nuke over Israel without causing damage as doing one that does. That would almost surely provoke an attack from Israel. No middle eastern country will survive a no holds barred war with Israel.

umm, since this was dug back up...

I don't ever remember seeing an article where the Iranian President said the sky would light up over Israel on August 22nd. Where did you guys get this from, and how come I don't recall seeing anything about it in the AP or Reuters?

I don't think he said it. Some are speculating that's why he delayed his answer to the UN until the 22nd. Sounds possible to me though, if unikely.

The 22nd is just around the corner.



I "dug" it up because of the current celebration among Israel's enemies. Especially the one that claims Israel must and will be completely destroyed, you know, the president of Iran. Is he a man of action or hot air? Well, that and I was enjoying some pretty good margaritas last night.

Interesting phrasology.  I guess that in case Iran does n00k Israel, they will be evil genocidal tards.  And if they don't they would be gutless cowards.

Spintacular!
