Iranian ICBM'S??

[AKIron]

President Bush decides to take a break and go out to sit in a local bar.  A guy walks in and asks the barman, 'Isn't that President Bush sitting at the end of the bar?'

The bartender says, 'Yep, that's him.' So the guy walks over and says, 'Wow, this is a real honor!  What are you doing in here?'

Bush says, ' I'm planning WW III.' 

Then the guy says, 'Really?  What's going to happen?'

Bush says, 'Well, I'm going to kill 140 million Muslims and one blonde with big tits.

The guy exclaimed, 'A blonde with big tits?
Why kill a blonde with big tits?'

 

Bush turns to the bartender and says,

'See, I told you, no one gives a toejam about the 140 million Muslims.'

"We didn't start a war in time once, therefore we should always start one regardless of the circumstances at the slightest sniff of trouble!"

Good point, I obviously shouldn't worry so much. After all, it only cost the world ~72 million people that time. Shouldn't go over maybe ~3-400 mill once the nukes start flying around.

WIKI:

The total estimated human loss of life caused by World War II was roughly 72 million people. The civilian toll was around 47 million, including 20 million deaths due to war related famine and disease. The military toll was about 25 million, including the deaths of about 4 million prisoners of war in captivity. The Allies lost approximately 61 million people, and the Axis powers lost 11 million

There are too many people anyway. We could afford to lose a hundred million and not notice.

Seriously though, I find the constant bleating of 'Remember Chamberlain!' in response to any criticism of militarist policy or a call for diplomacy rather ironic.

The point about appeasement is that it defied rational thought, was embroiled in emotive over-reaction and used hindsight as a mechanism to set foreign policy.

The rush to war over the slightest issue defies rational thought, is embroiled in emotive over-reaction and uses hindsight as a mechanism to set foreign policy.

You're right... we haven't learned anything at all.

Can't agree with your analysis.

I don't think appeasement defied rational thought at the time; in hindsight it did but (as always) the initial case could be and was made that the terms of the WW1 treaty were too harsh on Germany and thus many trouble signs could be overlooked or explained away.

I suppose the hindsight is that after the soon to be eclipsed bloodbath of WWI it was worth trying anything to avoid another world war? And this was also an emotive over-reaction?

The signs, signals and speech of the Iranians are very similar to the situation years prior to rollin' into Poland. Nutbag leaders with a divine right to rule rearming with the very latest in weaponry whilst  plainly naming the Jews as a target for genocide?

Building more centrifuges isn't helping Iran appear less threatening to world peace.

If those hundred million happen to live in the contiguous united states I dont think you would be so glib.

[Toad]

Well, you never know; he doesn't live in the US!

[VERTEX]

ok, make it western Europe then.

i'm not worried, obama said when he is prez he will just go and talk to them, he will tell them all about hope and promise and the world will be at peace.

[Angus]

Dowding, are you sane? 100 mills, no nation or cultural cluster would bear that for quite a while.
The 72 millions of WW2 where the top victims were from the USSR and China surely caused a worldwide impact, still lasting and still causing trouble....

Anyway, always have a hunch that the Iranians are targeting the Danish press......

Weeeeeeeeee

Don't worry, we are going to die with bilions , and Iranians will help  with that:

 From Isaiah 13:

    12I will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold
         And mankind than the gold of Ophir.

Isaiah13:17 
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
13:18
Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

Medes
