U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice -- speaking during a visit to England -- said the United States was prepared to send humanitarian assistance if it was required.

The only thing we should send them is fully loaded cruise missiles , I've never felt sorry for that bunged up islamic turd farm and I never will . If the Iranians I lived around in Kookifornia are representative of the breed then the next earthquake they have could flatten the whole GD country and I wouldn't shed a tear . [:@]

Don't confuse Iranian civilians with the lunatics running the government. The people have hated the theocracy since the beginning, but it's a third world country, and the mullahs in power have the force necessary to maintain control.

Aught , Iranians are among the biggest jerks there are from my experience , even the civillians are jerks . I despised them when they overran our embassy in '79 , I despised them when I lived among them , and nothing has happened to change that opinion since then . Stupid , arrogant , pig headed , and generally the worst that the islamic countries have to offer , they are every bad thing you've ever heard about Arabs and more rolled into one populace . I've met lots of Middle Eastern people in my travels , and most of them were nice or at least civil to me , the Iranians never were . (hocccckkkk ptoooie !) [:'(]

I don't think Iranians are jerks at all. I can say that they will never, ever admit that they're wrong, but I'm the same way. [&:]

There's a culture shock, but the people are essentially good. And they're not Arabs (and they will take great offense if you call them such). Just remember that trash exists in all cultures, and unfortunatelysometimes those are the people we're stuck living and working around.

The Islamic fanatics are part of the older generation, but the younger Iranians will have a lot to offer in the future.

Since they always claim natural disasters that happen here are punishment for our evil ways, what about the quakes there? Does it go both ways, or is it just another one way street?

Now would be the ideal time ,and if neutron bombs were used it would also leave us parked squarely on the second and third largest proven oil patches on earth . The largest is right next door to the second , and the second has thousands of heavily armed US troops on it and is under our control . It could only improve the region IMHO .

That's all I got to say about thaaat ...
