    You can't bring a country's military down with surgical strikes.



    I agree with you. The government has a strong military, and the thing about our country is that the government is a ideological one whose believers believe the "supreme leader" is God's choice. It's much harder to beat a military who believe their leader is something like a prophet, and that dying for him will mean dying for God, becoming a martyr and having an eternal life in paradise.

    There is also this thing you must understand about Iranian people. Many of us don't support the government, and prefer systems closer to western ones. But if there is an attack on this country, many that don't support the government will also join the army to stop invasion.

    The people here have very diverse ideals and schools of thought. A war in here, or an occupation, or even a revolution would be catastrophic...the country would soon fall into a deep civil war situation.

    I've come to believe, after seeing many stuff happen to myself, my family and friends...that the only way out for Iran is reform. Reform supported by the supreme leader himself. Any other method would result in chaos. This can not be done if there is a war going on.

    Agree.
  4. I;m predicting right now, that Obamacare is going to die 5-4 in the supreme court.
  6. On a lighter and weirder not, there is actually a push right now for the U.S. Navy to name a ship after Robert Heinlein.

    For those of you who don't know American warships are traditionally named as follows.

    Battleships: None in service anymore but states.
    Aircraft carriers: Usually important figures, or previous aircraft carriers (Enterprise). In WW2 they were often named after battles.
    Subs: Depends on type and class. Usually fish, states, citys, or figures.
    Cruisers: In the past, citys and figures. The current Aegis cruisers are named after battles.
    Destroyers/Frigates: Figures. usually some type of hero or leader. For instance, the U.S.S. Michael Murphy which is under construction right now is named for a Navy SEAL who died trying to save his teammates during the disasturous Operation Red Wings.
    Amphibious ships: Depends on class and type. Military facilities, WW2 battles, and famous ships have all been honored with ships of these types being named after them.
    Supply ships: Citys.
  8. Who's Sergei?

    Well, I think it's damn stupid to believe it.

    I don't consider the U.S. the bad guys, even if I don't always agree with you, I sure consider the U.S. a great country.

    Not positive but about 70% sure it is Like A Songs real name. Since we don't get along most the time, I've never cared what his real name is or how to spell it.

    Sergio. Sergei is a slavic name. I don't think he believes the conspiracy theory.


  11. Weird that I put Sergei, as I did remember that he is from Spain.
  12. I'm thinking of starting a petition to have the Navy start a new investigation into the loss of the U.S.S. Scorpion.
