And then again, I could be wrong. BUT I DON'T THINK SO! Haven't read the Gwynneth Paltrow link yet but I'm sure he must be the fount of all wisdom--- but I WILL reserve judgment until I have read it. No LH, the Iranians aren't mad and they aren't stupid. They aren't so stupid as to commit a naked act of war against the US. They do, however, have a vast cadre of TERRORISTS and a certain amount of plausible deniability, to carry out their aims---As they are doing right now in Lebanon. They are actively involved in their expressed goal (regardless of what Mr. Gwynne Dyer may have to say on the subject). Footnote: Appeal to authority is one of the informal fallacies.

Ever since the Grand Mukti (sp?) of Egypt (whose grandson? nephew? was Arafat) met and confered with Adolph Hitler in regards to the "Final Solution" the Jews have been hard up against it. And the Koran makes provision for and encourages lying with the infidel dogs if it suits their ends. Infidel dogs, that would be you and me and all the other swine eaters. Less then human, you and I.

Don't you understand that these people are praising their god and strapping high explosives onto their CHILDREN. They ARE blowing up innocents. Their targets ARE innocents. It's to provoke TERROR. Get it????? Israel is their focal point and first consideration but they have a soft spot in their hearts (sic) for YOU TOO! They won't forget to take care of you if they can---by what ever means they can. You know, the Communists preached the inevitability of the dialectic and that the ends justified the means but if they had one tenth the dedication and commitment that the Islamic Fascists have we'd all be living in a Marxist Utopia right now or perhaps in some Gulag near the Arctic Circle. Wise up people. There is real evil out there and they are proving it every day.
