Reply #48: Does it really matter what they are called? Take one less Empiric moment

and consider the *tension* that the Iranian government is under. Remember that we are sending our FIFTH carrier to the Persian Gulf and pResident Bush is presently all pumped up into his hyped-up "I'm a goin' to war" mood state as HE conducts HIS news conference to a submissive press corps.

I'm not advocating taking sides, merely taking a moment to UNDERSTAND exactly why Iran is behaving as it is. I dare say, if we were in the same circumstance as a country, we would behave in a very similar manner.

Do NOT let your unwarranted fears push you into advocate a bombing of Iran. It is wrong and we all know it to be the worst response possible at this point in our history.
