I''m really hoping that was sarcasm. The last thing we need is this wackjob Imonajihad getting the ability to launch payloads long distances. I actually much prefer the 8th century Iran that the rest of the country resembles. These backward fundamentalist cretins need to be kept in check until the time that their citizens finally see them for the destructive influence that they are on their society and get rid of them once and for all.

The sad truth is we have helped and helped and helped and helped and it makes matters worse. Same as welfare increases dependence in the US. All life is an economic competition. Insect life, fish life, plant life and human life. All must compete. Dependence causes survival of the unfittest. Independence insures survival of the fittest.

Anyone who watched 60 Minutes instead of the Super Bowl last night can see that world leaders are more concerned about their own prestige than they are about feeding poor people in Africa.

The thoughts among world leaders is "why should I care about world hunger or poverty in my own country, when I have this "IMAGE" to maintain. Where is the "PROFIT" in it for me feeding poor people?".

This "Ferengi" approach is practiced by the Great Emperor Bush II and his neocon Fascist followers, as well as in any other country where money is souting out of their "arse".

I wonder if the founders of the world''s great religions thought along those lines???

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!

The world''s children are starving and all the world leaders can do is pisss on them.

People are fools if they would rather fight wars for the powerful. What a mess we have made of our world.
