Iran develops nuclear weapons. What, me worry?

[ticktock]

Steve, please don't take this the wrong way but honestly, how old are you?

I've been wondering this myself.

 

[Cool-Beans]

Steve is 39 or 40. I think. I have no idea, though. Just guessing.

Why are you guessing?! Gosh, you crack me up.

I'm guessing too. 26

What?! You should guess too. Whoever wins can get a Mickey-shaped Rice krispy treat.

The US was in Lebanon as part of a multinational PEACEKEEPING mission.

If foreign troops were on US soil, and foreign warships and jets bombed US territory, you would be ok with that if they called themselves a "peacekeeping mission"? I would fight them with any weapon at my disposal, with my bare hands, and with my teeth if necessary. And I'm a coward!

 

[SteveInBrooklyn]

But what's really interesting is that we have to go back to 1984 to find an alleged incident of Iranian aggression against the US.

Steve sounds a lot like my kids: well under 25. They are college-age idealists, who still appreciate Mom's CC.

Why do you always take the side that's fighting against the US? You can't even call us fighting against Japan (who attacked us) as defending ourselves.

Why not?

The Mickey rice krispie treats suck. If I won, I'd want some of those gummy bear Mickey heads. I think Goofy's name is on the bag, though. Maybe Goofy makes them? Not sure.

You should guess, too.

I don't think Steve is going to tell, though.

When you fight foreign troops on US soil you are fighting FOR the US, no matter what they call themselves - peacekeepers, multinational, or crap on toast. So you would be ok with it if foreign troops came to the US as peacekeepers, and you would call it "fighting against the US" if Americans stood up to them. Wow..just, wow.

What'll happen if Iran develops nuclear weapons? I think nothing will happen. Let 'em have nukes. No big deal.

.
Wow. But, if I remember from other posts, you have issues with law abiding Americans owning a firearm?

Iran can have nukes, no big deal? Americans can't have guns?

Nevermind.

Govts have lied in the past, they lie today, they will lie in the future.

Does this include the current administration?

The trick is to correctly evaluate what the govt tells us. Asking "Why?" is a good first step.

Need to borrow my tin foil hat?

I'm going for 16 and I want an ICEE because I agree with Cool Beans about the Mickey treats.

Nevermind.

I am against gun control. I did say the I would never buy a gun for myself, but that's only because I prefer to choke people rather than shoot them.

Geez...I can't believe you all. I have a client who always gets a Mickey treat every trip. Personally, I do not eat them but she loves them. I figured they must be yummy! Oh well. Gummies from Goofy for you if you are right. (I will refrain from any goofy remarks used with the CB name. )

I'm going for 16 and I want an ICEE because I agree with Cool Beans about the Mickey treats.

16? Whoa. That's a young guess. But OK. And I can't send you an ICEE. If I could do that I could send Sonya a Kaki Gori from Japan. If Steve is 16, you will have to pick another WDW treat!

BTW, I leave tomorrow at 7:30pm. So, is he is going to tell, he'll have to tell soon.

He might be mad at me. but I'll blame CB. She guessed first.

Why would he be mad? I intended no offense. And there is certainly nothing wrong with being 39 or 40. Well, 40 maybe. Forty is very old. Thirty-nine, on the other hand, a very different story. 39 is a whole other Oprah. Still youngish - "Late 30s", very ... so much better than "Early 40s".

And if he were mad, you'd be welcome to blame me. I wouldn't care and would tell him what he could do with his madness. But I doubt that he cares at all. I wouldn't. You could guess my age forever and I wouldn't care (so long as you guessed under 40 ).

 

[Barbossa]

I don't believe that they intend to wipe Israel off the map. Not at the expense of their very existence.

I agree. If a nuclear weapon is detonated and Iran is even remotely suspected, that entire country will be turned into the world's largest glass sculpture.

That said, though, I'd rather they not develop a nuke. If they do, I don't think even the U.S. could hold Israel back from waging a full scale bombardment of Iran. That would not be good.

Well, I'm 51, so I guess that I'm Methuselah.

 

[Cool-Beans]

Sorry. I recently turned 39 and am fearing 40. I don't really think you're old. I just like to keep reminding myself that I'm not 40 and therefore am not old. (39, youngish - not even close to old!)

Come float with me in my bubble (like that Wii Fit girl on her water) down the river of denial...or at least don't burst my bubble.

 

[Buckalew11]

I'm 44 and it sounds older than I feel.

He might not be mad about the age thing, just that we're posting on his Bomb thread. My DH works around bombs so I know nothing, N-o-t-h-i-n-g about a nuclear bomb!!
