ParticipantMarkmax: Who is attacking “whom”.
That said, if you think the US Navy is even remotely worried about the Iranian navy, you’re sorely mistaken. Trust me, the US Navy and USAF have that entire area dialed in, targeting-wise. If the Iranians decide to get stupid, they’re gonna get lit up like a Christmas tree. And they won’t like that because Muslims HATE Christmas.

This is exactly my point. Iran is not a threat to us. Why are we are we putting on a million sanctions on them and trying to provoke war with a defenseless country? There are probably 1000 Nucs aimed at Iran right now. Israel has a missle defense system. What kind of sense does it make to get so worked up about these guys? They can barely control their own population. If you realized that the Iranian GOV controls the population because they point at the US as a threat, and we continue threatening them, we would stop. The youth would immediately uprise against the GOV because they lost the power of fear. The youth of Iran already hate the GOV because of the unemployment rate and huge income disparity.
Of course the NEOCONs are going to come on here and say look at the threat of Iran, they want to blow Israel off the map. It makes no sense at all.

I don’t think that’s the point mm33 is trying to make with his map.
This spells it out more clearly:
I’m certainly not a Ron Paul supporter, but I think the video makes a powerful point.

Perhaps you meant to say:
“If the US decides there needs to be an ‘incident’ that ‘gives us no choice’ but to ‘defend Americans’ (and American interests) …”
Remember the Maine!

ParticipantWhy is MM allowed to peddle his political nonsense on this blog without a single contribution to anything housing related. This isnt a political blog or a general economics blog. Its a San Diego housing blog? Arent there plenty of political blogs for him and his noise?
This isnt about censure. Its about a lack of relevance to our primary focus that we seem to be getting more and more distracted from every day.

Last time I checked this was a “San Diego Housing Market News and Analysis” not a “real estate sales” blog. I’d say something that effects the nation’s economy is much more appicable to the local housing economy than realtor’s opinions on the housing market.
If you think Nation building doesn’t affect our economy here at home you have a lot to learn my friend. Our debt levels in housing and war are financed through the Federal Reserve. This is 100% economy related. Read Rich’s latest article:

Dude, you’re sounding like a politician, the ones you say you hate… Introduce you’re own completely unrelated topic, and when questioned about how it’s relevant to the current discussion, tie in 0.0000001% to something remotely close to the topic…Kinda like how politicians debate, as we have seen lately….
You’ve been kinda quite about Ron Paul lately…What gives?

ParticipantThis is not and never has been a real estate sales blog. Its not a political blog either which is all you bring. The weather affects the housing market, seismic activity in CA can affect the housing market and so do lots of other things but that is not what this blog is all about. It is about following local housing market news and analysis. Hell, who wins the Super Bowl could affect the housing market as well as the Aztecs Basketball program but again we dont discuss those things every day ad nasuem either.

When the author of the blog writes an article about our nation’s debt levels and we explore a topic that is dramatically expanding the debt levels, I don’t know how that’s a reach. Why wouldn’t we naturally expand the topic of debt levels to see where the money is going?
You are correct I am attacking one of the reasons why we have such high debt levels. It isn’t political it is fact. Only a NEOCON trying to protect the expansionist foreign policy and the ever expanding military industrial complex would see this as political.

GuestIran is not a threat to us, not by a long shot.
But Iran has regional power aspirations. Unfortunately, we screwed-up in Iraq; and our screw-up enabled Iran beyond their wildest dream. That’s the stuff of serendipity.
So now, we are at covert war with Iran trying to put the genie back in the bottle. But it’s too late, IMO.
The National Iranian American Council has good writings on the topic.
http://www.niacouncil.org/site/PageServer?pagename=NIAC_indexDiplomacy and commercial ties are the only productive ways to deal with Iran. More commerce with the West will cause Iran to open up more.
The cost of peace might be to have a nuclear armed Iran…. That’s worrisome to Israel whose survival is already demographically at stake. But we need to worry about America’s interest first.
I agree with Ron Paul. We need to scale down the military.

ParticipantWe all have plenty of places to discuss the economy and the debt levels. Most and probably all of this read numerous other blogs. We come here for SD real estate and it annoys me that we are losing that focus. We can all find the political and economic stuff numerous other places on the Internet. Nothing about that is unique. What is unique about this site is its focus on a micro market that you cant find any where else. You are taking away from us and it sucks. You suck.
