This is a positive development. A war between America and Iran would benefit Muslims.

[James Dahl]

And with the stroke of a pen, a million lost lives and a decade of misery and civil war is declared for Iran
Noone should applaud this, this is a failure of diplomacy of the first order. Both sides could have easily prevented this.

[Grant]

It takes fewer votes than that to oversome a presidential veto.

I wonder how much of that is a direct response to Ahmadinejad's humble and wonderfully truthful speeches?

Yea, another destroyed Muslim society would be great for Muslims. We could add it to the list:

Afghanistan
Somalia
Iraq
Palestine

Yeah, that's what Muslims need alright.

The more muslims attacked means the more muslim enemies for uncle sam.

Muslims will fight together and that means only one thing. More dead americans.

"Muslims will fight together and that means only one thing. More dead americans."

No, it means two things. More dead Americans and more dead Muslims. And Americans are much more efficient at killing than Muslims are.

[*Arabman]

[And Americans are much more efficient at killing than Muslims are.]

So, you admit America is a monster that's excellent at killing Muslims?

[Steeler [Crawler2]]

No, killing Muslims is good. And it will remain good until the Salafists of the world back the fock off and recognize American hegemony.
