(...) lol And who exactly is this president of "Iranin";-) Actually, you have outed my laziness, as I didn't care to look up how to spell (looking up, now....) Ahmadinejad, if that is even what you are talking about. Are you referring to the fact (...) (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Tsk tsk tsk John. You (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong) have told people before to addess the US President by his proper title as opposed to George Dubya so I would expect the same courtesy extended to the Iranin President. Tim (19 years ago, 8-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) I did say "seriously".... If in case you are serious (which I seriously doubt), then there is a problem with your solution-- the Iranians apparently thought of that already and have substantially decentralized their stuff, making a 1 shot (...)

I'm thinking not, and so I suspect that the seeds of violent intolerance are sown elsewhere. I have a (...) (19 years ago, 7-Feb-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
