    And really, what does Iran have to offer in the way of peace?

    Obvious counter-offer: More than khallow does? Quit mongering the war, khallow! We are men of action, lies do not become us! And just because fomenting war is a profession with a long history, that does not mean you can get Florin to go to war against Gilder by killing a Princess Bride! You keep using these words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean. You are a political lightweight, khallow. You should send a letter to Jared. The screaming of the eels always gets louder when they are about to feed!!

    I wasn't an option. And what is Iran really offering? It sounds like a nuclear arms race and mini-cold war to me.

        "We" is not Saudi Arabia. They can't count on the US to always be around to protect them. Nuclear weapons would be a counter to Iran's superior military power even if Iran also has nuclear weapons. Turkey and Egypt may well decide they need nuclear weapons as well due to Iran. It's not that big a region.

        That's because your head is filled with mass media garbage.

        Or a better understanding of the military problems of the region.
