Thank you for being honest about your dislike for the USA. I mean that. It is tiresome when people hide behind vague references. I applaud you for being up front about it (though the Nazi reference was probably a bit over the top, don't you think?).

I thank you also for proving my points about moral relativism and complacency. You do not see significant threats in that area of the world. Understood. You would rather we (the present day "allies") not be involved there and let them sort things out. I'm guessing you do think we should talk with them, understand them better, and maybe negotiate solutions to whatever problems may exist.

There is a very good chance your vision will be what happens unless someone (Israel) decides that Iran is too dangerous to have nukes. The US certainly isn't going to do anything about it any time soon. Neither will the UN. Russia will play neutral or back Iran. China will back Iran for now. So chances are, nothing militarily will be done.

When the mushroom cloud from a bomb supplied by Iran, N. Korea, or China is rising over some city in the world, I will be here with the ghost of Neville Chamberlain (I am sure he has figured it out by now) to say "told ya so" lol.

Wait...if it's DC the fallout will probably get me in which case look me up when you get to the other side and we'll have a pint .

"The Nazi reference was probably a bit over the top, don't you think?" No. I thought it was irrelevant to an analysis of the current world political situation, which is why I suggested that you should think more before using it, with your 'appeasement' analogies. I haven't called anyone 'evil' either. And where exactly have I come out with 'moral relativism'? Do you actually know what the term means? I have no 'dislike for the USA' - what I dislike is people who take it upon themselves to tell the outside world what the US thinks, while at the same time telling the US population what it ought to think, and then claim to be defending 'freedom' or 'democracy'?

Are 'middle eastern radicals' a threat to world peace? Yes, quite possibly, but so are supporters of US quasi-imperialist tactics, and uncritical supporters of the State of Israel. And the latter have more weapons.
