ROFLMAO!

My best pick is a military government. I had enough of the idiots on both sides.

And please, execute Nancy Pelosi for treason.

Our military also needs to stop being soft. We need to be ruthless. By that I mean carpet bombing cities.

Carpet bombing Tehran could solve a lot of issues.. but also would be a lil immorral for those slaves they keep there.

Another fine example of Obama being a dumbass. The internet? The day after Leno? This president has class!

How many years of Republican presidency have Iran been apparently trying to develop nuclear weapons? Did the Republican strategy work? It seems like a good idea to try something different to me...:P

I wasn't claiming that Obama's webcast speech was effective but if certain people are going to criticise him for it while defending to the hilt every action and policy of the Republican party then they clearly need the obvious pointed out to them that the Republican policy didn't work! Time to try something new!

As for me, I'm not even American so describing myself as either Democrat or Republican would be beyond retarded.

Interesting... and I bet it means doom for Ahmadinejad.

I actually think that both Republicans and Democrats were doing the right thing at the right time when they were in office.

My theory was that Ahmadinejad's foreign policy was based in large part on the price of oil.  When the price of oil was higher, Ahmadinejad has power over the United States, and he can do whatever he wants, including waging a holy war against Israel.  That meant that the US was forced to take a hardline stance, because we had no power at the time... Ahmadinejad has money, so he sees himself as invincible.

But with the price of oil low, and Iran's economy in shambles, I believed he would mellow out a little bit, as what seemed to happen in October and November during the start of the financial crisis.  As a result, I thought Obama just happened to come into office at the perfect time for negotiation to be successful, as now the balance of power was in the hands of the United States.

Think of it this way:
You're playing a game of IC, warring another family.  When you're winning the war, if you come to the negotiating table, you can make all kinds of demands.  But if you're losing the war, you have to bend over and give up.

If we would have negotiated with Iran last year, when oil was at $100 per barrel, we would have needed to give Iran a ton of shit to stop their program.  Now, with the financial crisis, Iran's economy is in the shit hole, and Iran's people know it.  In addition, Iran's people know that it is their leader's fault that their economy is in shambles, because every other oil nation (aside from Venezuela) set up an OSF (a fund of oil money to store for when oil prices fall), yet Ahmadinejad spent his fund.

Now, what does this mean now that Iran pushed us aside?  It means Iran can't get the sanctions removed, so they can't spend what they've been spending for the past year.  That means less social programs, and less food and gasoline subsidies for the people.  And Iran can't raise taxes, because they tried establishing a 3% sales tax.  The result: the Iranian bazaars, the financial sector of the country, went on strike. 

What happens?  Economic collapse!  Hatred of the government by the people!  Utter anarchy, and the overthrowing of Ahmadinejad in exchange for a government whose primary concern is to remove the international sanctions so that Iran can get back into the financial system and save itself from ruin.

yeah I gotta say, it's kinda weird for a guy to make a comment out in the open like that. No straight guy likes to even have those thoughts in their head =/

I apologize to everyone for the crying kid who spams every thread I post in. I made him cry and he's not over it yet.

I'm still trying to figure out the first post in this thread. From where I sit, it's a 50/50 shot that Iran either agrees or disagrees to terms of peace. Why is it so stupid to try it? I'm not a politician or anything so perhaps I'm missing it =p

i even think some times you get your persona from rUSh lImBaUgE... and WOW he's the biggest hip-o-krite (hypocrite) that has ever existed, except for????????????????? OK he's actually the biggest one period....
but you really concern me mostly, because anyone that cannot accept that they are wrong once in a while.... the closer i get to them the less chance they have of............  lets just say lots of things can happen.
if king louie had been allowed to live... he might just have learned a life lesson.... but because of in-breading i Doubt it.
we are a people ... or we are nothing.
one stick breaks easily, for every 10 you add the ability to break it decreases, so the more you bond the stronger you are.

Was Obama's address really meant to change the course of Iran's policies or nuclear programme within one day? Judging the results of Obama's policies towards Iran within such a short timescale is as Fancsali himself would put it, retarded.
