Iran Quake

[Guitar Shark]

Iran is part of the alleged "axis of evil." But there is a humanitarian crisis. Should the U.S. government offer aid?

[Nickdfresh]

Yes.

[knuckleboner]

we did after the Bam earthquake in december of 2003.

this shouldn't really be any different.

[ODShowtime]

No. They rejected our aid offer last time so fuck them.

[FORD]

Since the seismic activity was probably enabled by repeated bombings of the neighboring country, it's the least we could do.

[VanJay011379]

Yes.

[Warham]

Yeah we should.

They will take the money we donate, then divert it to train new terrorists to go to Iraq to cause more trouble.

[ODShowtime]

I'm the only "no" so far? I guess BBB's been out today...

[Little_Skittles]

Yes do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. Acts of kindness are rewarded.

[Cathedral]

Yes, just not in money form.
send food and whatever else they need, but nothing they can easily funnel into terrorist funding.

My compassion is for the people of the country, not the government.

[Dr. Love]

Nah

I agree with that. I've heard what they really need is heavy construction equipment like frontend-loaders and backhoes to dig out the victims and clean up the mess.

more dead Middle Eastern people=less suicide bombers.

I don't recall any Iranian suicide bombers.

[twonabomber]

yet.

[Dr. Love]

[Dr. Love]

Creepy.

[Angel]

The Red Crescent already said they don't need any help.

Actually, you might have me there. The Iranians DID sponsor the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon. You know the one we did nothing about because it was easier to bomb Gadhafi? I don't believe we ever even publicy accused them of it.

Other than that, the Iranians themselves have not engaged in suicide bombing. They do, as does Syria, support Hezbollah and other Palestinian groups. However, I don't believe they have had any direct involvement with the insurgency, since "their" people have been elected to the Iraq Government.

Well, we'll never know how many suicide drivers used in Iraq were recruited from Iran, but it has to be some. They have a long history os such behavior. Didn't they used to strap platoons of kids together to run through minefields in the 80s?

Very few if any, and it was not government policy.

Yes. But they were at a significant military disadvantage because Iraq was well supplied and funded by the Soviets and assorted others. What the Iranian Revolutionary Guards did was disgusting and inexcusable, but they were desperate having only numbers to use against the Iraqi's weapons.

In any case, I think it's pretty flawed to say any of the Iranians that died in the quake were going to become suicide bombers.

Yeah there exatly what i was trying to say.

[Angel]

They already said they don't want or need any help.

[Little_Skittles]

I heard on the news this morning that the Iranian branch of the Red Crescent has stated that they can take care of it, and they don't need any help. Surprised me too.

[Little_Skittles]

Whatever and now my life goes on, coz i'm self centered. so ya.

Because they're afraid of spies.

Sorry to be so late in this thread...I had business in DC the past couple of days.

The US gave IRAN more aid than all other nations combined during their last earthquake crisis. We've seen what has transpired and has been said about us by them since then.

To borrow a phrase from FORD:

"Fuck 'em in the ass with a chainsaw!!!!"
