Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Do you have any idea of the consequences of a nuclear attack, ON ANY SCALE!?
Do you really think this country is the only one with nuclear weapons?
Do you have any idea the amount of damage even a retaliatory suitcase bomb can cause in this country?
Do you think we'll get away scott free like we did with hiroshima/nagasaki if we just start blowing the crap out of other countries??
Whoa, chill out dude. take a joke.
Other countries have nukes but besides the US Russia and China, I dont think many or any have ICBMs

Haha, what is then ? James Brown ? At least Canadians know how to spell, we surely didn't get that from you great American Citizens 
Iran produces 4billion barrels of oil per day to the global market. They shut the taps we see a bazillions threads whining about the cost of gas on ceg.org and the entire US [censored] and moans yet again.
Iran is not the paper tiger everybody make them out to be, especially given the global oil economy. Add to the fact that El Presidente is whoring out his country for a few kickback dollars by selling his ports to Arabs that would see no better joy than Western Civilization destroyed.

Don't deny that Canaduh probably has the same proportion of people who misspell or misplace words every now and then.

The grief and suffering of an Iraqi family losing a son lining up for a police job (#1 targets, hundreds killed) or a mother at a marketplace bombing is exactly the same as the grief and suffering of a New Jersey family losing someone in WTC.
Who do you think you are to decide whose life is precarious and whose is not ?

Maybe if you were to atleast talk to people that have been to Iraq or actually have been there yourself, you might see it the same as he does.
You have multiple groups in Iraq that are clawing for power, and to keep it to themselves while stepping on everyone else to get there. Muslim against Muslim, it matters not. It's a big angry ant hill, and it's been that way for a lot longer than America has even been in existence.

Life is graded on a cheaper scale in the Middle-East, as well as in other places compared to the US and other Western countries.
Visit Sudan, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone or any other area that's seen close to non-stop conflict and you'll find 6-7 year-old kids laughing while they draw up pictures of beheadings, rape, pillaging, shootings, etc., etc.
When you've got decades of conflict and violent suppression that's common to everyday life, it's certainly not surprising that a rather jaded view towards death starts to become the norm...

The murder rate (homicides per 100,000 population) is:
6.8 (1997 data) in the United States (20.3 in large cities)
2.8 (2004 data) in Saudi Arabia
6.2 (1997 data) in Pakistan
Do you want me to find statistics for Washington DC ? (btw the 6.8 in 1997 was the lowest rate in 30 yrs for the US).
I don't know what you mean by "Life is graded on a cheaper scale", but the average guy's chances to get killed are higher in Kansas City than in most (if not all) cities of the Middle-East (war zones excluded).
