I just watched HBO's special on the Daniel Pearl kidnap and murder and I recommend that anyone who happens to read this blog, download and watch it. It made me understand the utter futility that jihadists and terrorists of all stripes should come to terms with. All of their acts of violence against innocent people is evil! You will never achieve one iota of what you hope to gain by murdering people that you perceive as your enemy. If you used all the money and all your efforts in a civilized and constructive manner you would be far better off. Their suicide bombers are thought to be brave and are promised instant paradise, but they should instead question why their handlers are not willing to sacrifice their own lives for their cause?

Winds of Change.NET: The Case for Invading Iran

The current regime in Iran has proven time and time again that they are not friends of the Western world and with their proclivity to support terrorist organizations with vast sums of money along with modern weaponry, if they should continue on their current path towards developing nuclear arms, once achieving their quest, would they not give these weapons to their Muslim brothers? For instance, a dirty fissile devise that could kill hundreds of thousands and contaminate cities for thousands of years! Are we willing to risk our cities to the whims of whatever mullah enjoys the will of the Iranian population at the moment?

I still think that President Bush made a grave mistake when he invaded Iraq, but perhaps it could be used to our advantage by a rapid pull out of our troops leaving the Iraqis to solve their own political and cultural differences. The chaos that this would lead to will directly draw the Iranians into the conflict and once their troops are committed the U.S. should invade Iran and force a regime change in Tehran after destroying their capabilities to develop nuclear arms. Of course you would want the UN to condemn their weapons making policies first, and if they refuse to comply, send in the troops!

The Arab nations have so much hatred and animosity towards one another that they will have their hands full killing one another that they won't have the stomach for attacking the West! However, if one of them should, they can count on the wrath of the West to rain down upon them, thus weakening them to the point where their Arab brothers will come in a finish the dirty work!
