No “good example” will do any good here. Ghandi’s methods worked because he was opposed by the British and not the Nazis or Commies. The Chinese actually fought the Europeans and the Japanese, they just did not fight them effectively.

There are a lot of people in positions of power in the world, in Iran, the Arab countries, China, Russia, and even some at the Quai d’Orsay, who think the 20th Century was so much fun, with its genocide, world wars, mass murders in the name of insane ideologies, mass famines in the name of those same insane ideologies, and continental wide impoverishment as a result of those insane ideologies, that we should do it all over again in the 21st Century. Unless they are stopped early by force,covert action, or democratic revolutions they will bring about another Bloody Century.

For example, there is no diplomatic carrot or stick that will convince Iran to drop its nuclear arms programs. The utility of such arms for Iran’s goals is too great to make any alternative attractive. Furthermore, Iran’s Pharaohs do not think they need to pay attention. Any diplomatic punishment, they believe, will soon be followed by the abject humiliation of the countries trying to restrain Iran, and they will come crawling back to Iran begging for forgiveness, eager for new contracts and profitable business. That’s the way it has been at every diplomatic attempt to restrain Iran since 1979, why should the next one be different?

War is coming. If we wait for the enemy to strike at his own convenience it will be a bigger and bloodier war than if we preemptively destroy Iran’s war-making capacity first. Which do you prefer: bigger and bloodier and later, or smaller and less bloody and sooner? There will be no third choice, unless the Pharaohs of Tehran are overthrown before they get nukes. That does not seem likely now.

I try to find out a solution for this problem, but it is too difficult. When the forign army entered China in 19 centrury, what the buddad did is to burned themselves to restrict this kind of voilence. What Gandi did was sitting and staying hungray. Nieight I agree with this kind of solution.

But i do feel, somebody should withdrew from the game of making problems on purpose in order to increase weapon selling. only think about which are the biggest countries in weapon selling business?!

I believe I just read a notice that the US is going to forge a strategic partnership with the Lebanese Army. Wonderful.
