Re: I read the news today, oh boy
Wow, a post from you that actually makes sense and isn't wreaked of liberal commie BS. I agree completely.
Let the politically correct people cry bloody murder all they want. In this case, I'd rather have a few assassinations than a nuclear holocaust.

Re: I read the news today, oh boy
In all honesty, i expected you to take a stance that principle dictates you'd rather have a nuclear war than assassinations. Practically all liberal commies I've talked to about this issue has taken such stance. It's hard to wrap my mind around this, but they truly honestly believe assassination is worse than a nuclear Iran and possibly a nuclear confrontation between Iran and Israel.
Like I've said many times, a lot of what the extreme liberal views just don't make sense to me anymore. And I consider myself a liberal. I think the problem is people want to be more politically correct than they want to make sense.
I know this is going OT, but talking about nuclear war is already OT. At one of the group discussions I attended, some people, including myself, started to get annoyed at all the fuss with politically correctness. Someone, an asian guy no less, said the statement "east asian people tend to eat rice". Immediately, the liberal crowd descended on him, telling him such a statement is offensive. Myself and several others started questioning their reaction. Is there something wrong with eating rice? It's a statement of fact, not stereotype. If you look at the statistics, east asian countries really do consume a hell of a lot of rice, way more than anywhere else. So, to me, by being politically correct, the liberal crowd is becoming nonsensical. It seems to me like they care more towards not offending people than making sense. What's funny is their reaction towards the statement about rice eating actually couldn't be more offensive to asian people. The extreme reaction tells the rest of us the liberal commie crowd think there's something wrong with eating rice. It's like trying to avoid talking about down syndrome in front of someone with down syndrome or someone who's got a loved one with down syndrome.
That's what I mean by liberal commie BS.
Added by edit.
More along this line. I am absolutely convinced that the reason the current gay rights movement is gaining so little ground is because of the politically correct approach by the liberal commie.

Re: I read the news today, oh boy
In a way, absolutely, given that they're in our position. Think about it for a moment. You're posing the question while ignoring the situation surrounding the issue. I don't think the Iranian government can make it clearer that they want Israel to disappear off the face of the Earth.
What you are doing is you're making an argument in a vacuum. I've seen plenty of creationists try to do this. Make an argument ignoring everything else surrounding the issue.
We don't really know if it was the US or Israeli that arranged the assassinations. But if it was the ISraelis, then they are justified for self preservation.

Re: I read the news today, oh boy
At no point did I suggest this is good vs bad. Now you're using the creo tactic of black and white. Gotta go now. Will explain later.
