Oh, nothing.
do they even have the long range capabilities to get us? I hear they can get to Israel.

Iran and North Korea (which claim they can reach US soil with Nuclear Weapons) is a delicate string they are walking on right now with how the US handles it.

I'm tired of them asking kindergarden questions and giving hand-jobs to every public official that matters!

What Twitter is doing is proving Fox news right, and we're watching the weakness of our current administration's foreign policy play out just as they predicted it would 8 months ago.
I don't really follow any network news because it's all terrible. I agree that CNN is probably too far left, but my main issue with them is they are a fluff network... the TV equivalent of USA Today... light entertainment for people who want to feel like they're watching the news. Kudos to Fox if they are actually following the topic, but any time I watch it, their analysis makes me want to barf. You'll probably consider me a communist or something, but NPR is just about the only news I can stand/respect.

They don't have the missile tech to. But they do have a navy. And airplanes.

I don't think you're a communist. I totally agree with you on the media for the most part. NPR does have much better world news coverage than most, and you're definitely not getting all the American Idol, Jon & Kate plus 8 and cookie dough headlines with NPR, but NPR is tossing BHO's salad and heralding his silence as "real change" and a "clever strategy". I've got a problem with that because that reporting doesn't jive with what I see for myself. There isn't one thing I've seen this president do right yet.

I'll admit that my political and financial views are right on par with Fox, but it's not because of Fox that they're like that. I call it as I see it, and I saw right through BHO from the start. He's using human life in Iran as a bargaining chip for negotiations. What he's doing is making true enemies of the freedom fighters protesting in the streets in order to maintain political ties with the ones killing them. The FRENCH condemned the election and bloodshed in the streets and beat us to the punch. Does anyone else find that odd? Where is the leadership in the US? Where did it go? So what if he takes sides now... day late, dollar short.

I watched the video once thinking nothing of it but then the sounds of that one particular man realizing that she aint coming back is heartbreaking. Im reading this book that Ali sent me in and it covers another perception of death. But when you see videos like this, its hard to visualize it the way its written in text. That is some heavy video dude - watching a person die. I dont know if I want to click the link to the student shot in the head because Im afraid Ill have bad dreams.

Id ALSO like to point out that Iran is charging people a bullet fee of $3000 to each person they shoot.

Just FYI

I think obama did the right thing to stay quiet... because just look what happened when the UK chimed in and pulled some political moves (filing complaints, meeting with embasaddors, pulling out their embassadors etc.)

"On 19 June 2009, the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei described the British Government as the "most evil" of those in the Western nations, accusing the British government of sending spies into Iran to stir emotions at the time of the elections" .. now iran is thinking of "downgrading" UK-Iran relationships.

If Obama acted then it will be the US that is recieving those attacks..
