For liberals; Okay you've spoken harsh words to the Iranian strongman and asked the hard questions, now what?

Question

You've identified the real bad guy (it seems like the students knew who it was all along though they talk otherwise). Now what action do you take to stop him? Remember, talk is cheap.

Sageands... I suggested nothing. I asked what you are going to do now that you know who the bad guy is.

pensterx this had absolutely nothing to do with George Bush! Seek help immediately before you betray something important.

plenum 22 you are a sick individual, you ignored the real question, you hate Bush pathologically, and you've never seen a White House press conference or you would have seen insulting questions.

Nola girl the people of Iran don't hate Americans. Who told you that? Even the biased polls done by the Iranian authorities show that they like us and our country. My source? My uncle who lived in Iran for 2 years.

Skeptic seek help immediately. The doctor has spoken.

Willow your answer reveals your ignorance. I didn't say anything about atttacking Iran, you did. You also think the only thing that the military can do is kill 100,000 people. Think outside the box! You also had to throw in the gratuitous Bush comment. Stop hating.

Final Word before I close this out. It seems simple; questions were asked, you all seem pretty happy that you were, shall we say rude, to the jerk. Wonderful, but what action are you going to take? So many responses and how few of you answered this simple question. It seems obvious that for most liberals talk is action and that is all that you are good for. I'm thankful that there weren't so many of you back in the 40s. We had people of action in those days.

Answer 1

Here is what I saw. An evil man who got gang banged after he thought it was going to be a civilized debate with an idiotic Ivy League President who suddenly decides I am going to lambaste him. Evil president goes back home in anger. "How dare he treat me like that! How dare they blah blah blah! Tell Osama we will hit NY in 3 months from now and not 6! We'll show them!" Those idiots!!! Crazy idea? Crazy thoughts? Maybe. But damnit I was there 9/11. My company lost 14 people including my boss and I am doing everything I can to get the hell out of here before we get hit again. I think that damn bozo idiot who should have never let that garbage step foot at the school and giving him a platform just gave us an early death sentence. And to think that was my dream school since I was a child.... NO MORE!

Answer 2

Who elected the United States to be policemen/judge/jury/law makers of the world? We are bankrupting ourselves in Iraq, and now you suggest that we should take action in Iran because there is a "strongman" in power?

Remember that many consider the United States to have violated international law by invading and occupying Iraq on some weird pretense of WMDs. Clearly, if they had WMD capability, they would have used it against invading troops. To many international critics, the US is behaving worse than WWII Germany.

Now, on some weird pretense about nukes, we are planning an invasion of Iran? Let's take back American from the money grubbing corporations who are profiting by the occupation, and stop the insanity. You must have some GE or Halliburton stock to be talking this way. Obviously, you do not have family in the military right now.

I agree that talk is cheap. It's a lot cheaper than invading and occupying another country indefinitely, just because it adds to the bottom line of a large multinational corporation. It sure does not benefit the average American or Iraqi or Iranian citizen.

Answer 3

Let's find an excuse to invade first. (Weapons of Mass Destruction is a good one.) Control the media and use Fear tactics and Patriotism to bring naive citizens along. Go in without a plan. Destabilze the country at the cost of America's Sons and Daughters. Make a fortune doing it. Give more nations a reason to hate us. All of this while making a huge profit for yourself and the administration and not really doing anything to help America. OH WAIT THAT IS WHAT BUSH WOULD DO.

Answer 4

How many countries has Iran invaded lately? We have killed hundreds of thousands with our nuclear technology. Bush talks about this so called "Axis of Evil" yet he is the one starting the wars, building military bases all over the world and supporting dirt bag dictators. New studies are out that states nearly 1 million have died in Iraq due to this war that we started. Yes, we started. Only a fool still believes this war had anything to do with WMD's or 9/11. Our nation has been so dumbed down that we believe that Iran will support Al Qui'da a Suni group!!! Itsn't that ironic when Sunnis and Shi'a are fighting each other in Iraq (so the media says). Just think of the mad logic.

Why invite Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Columbia only to insult him? This is so dishonorable. It he is so bad, why would you want to hear what he has to say in the first place. I am so tired of seeing these spineless cowards licking the boots. Have some integrity. Dr. Ahmadinejad is either naive and crazy or has a lot of guts to even come to a crowd of wolves.

Do your history and find out why "they hate us." America launched a coup in 1953 taking out a pro west leader in the name of oil. America has been horrible towards Iranians they have every right to hate us.

Also if you are open mind enough to want to find the truth- go to a reliable source and find out what Dr. Ahmadinejad really said about Israel, and what he said in the letter to president Bush . Just like Saddam wasn't a jolly good of fella, why should so many suffer because of the Neo Con's grand world plan and blood thirst desire to dominate the world and control the oil?

This is not a liberals verse Conservative issue. Wake up and realize that there are people who are planning a war with Iran and Syria. Israel has already attacked Syria. If you are of age, chances are the draft will be coming to your town very soon.

Answer 5

properly you ought to confess that having the liberal media encompass you like a fort, it is tough for all people with a severe question to get close to BHO. they are actually not going to permit something which will enable us to into the fact of Obama. they like to maintain human beings questioning he's the saviour. considering that such assorted libs think of he's warm for some reason and (he thinks he's merely too) perhaps we are able to communicate him right into a opposition and we are able to ask him some hard questions too.

Answer 6

As a "liberal", I first would get Bush up in a public forum and have him respond to questions as did the PM of Iran. Get Bush out of his protected, media-arranged shell and have him answer insulting questions - instead of questioners being prohibited from even entering the auditorium and then being beaten, gassed, jailed, fingerprinted and investigated for (now) the thought-crime of being a 'potential terrorist'.

Stop Iran's PM? A far greater problem, and much closer to home, is stopping the rogue President Bush!!

Bush - - HE is the enemy of the Constitution and our Constitutional Republic, much less the leadership of Iran a threat to the country... Have you read of the martial law exercise throughout the US in mid-October, yet?? Google it.... NOW!!! Confiscation of guns, property, detention of persons and using the clergy as mediators between military and populations is a part of the exercise and will no doubt be serious factors to consider if they ever come knocking on YOUR door...and too late, too, if it ever comes to be.

The problem, my friend, is that the PM of Iran is a nut - but Bush is a nut, too...Call em 'equally detached from reality' if you want to. The exception is that Bush is the leader of a much, much, MUCH more powerful, and information-deficient country and his insanity is exaggerated far more than the religious stupidity that is Iran's government (note: not Iranian people).
Moreover, Bush is at the same time implementing policies that are and will destroy YOUR freedoms with the argument that he is SECURING your freedoms. How much more irrational can it get??

I've sort of strayed from your question, but it was a good thing for him to show up at Columbia U. I suppose as a parting shot for you, I think Bush simply hasn't got the balls to go to Iran. Admit that, at least...

Answer 7

Your supposition that Pres. Ahmadinajad is the 'bad boy' is purely subjective. We all agree that he is not in the head list of most dinner parties, but his crimes pale into insignificance compared to those of the people who removed Saddam and replaced him with a 100 Saddams and destroyed a whole country and a way of life.

That statement is not subjective but TRUE... Thank you

Answer 8

*lmao*

I'm an outstanding person, but hey it is not new that the "Iranian Strongman" is what he is ... so it is really very funny to see a question like yours...what do you expect one single Liberal would do ? Bomb about 100 000 innocent kids just because that guy is an idiot ? Heck your pres is and Idiot too, but I would never think of kill any American kid for it......

Answer 9

Hell, the liberals applauded him nearly the whole time, with the exception about the gays. In fact, the Iranian media is showing in Iran that he received standing ovations from the liberals. A propaganda win for Ahmadinejad.

Answer 10

Any American institution that would furnish a propaganda platform for this murderous thug is symptomatic of staggering ignorance about our enemies in this global war on terror.
