Iranian Nukes

"Mutually Assured Destruction" only works when both sides are concerned about going up in a cloud. Iran and the extremist Islam sect have made it clear that they harbor no fear dying 'in the name of Alla.' They consider it martyrdom and are looking forward to the day they get however many virgins it is they get in heaven.

Even though the USA may be at odds with China and other countries around the world, the MAD threat holds them at bay because they are sane. If Iran, Syria, and some northeastern African nations had nukes, they would chuck them at their enemies the first chance they got, and die with the satisfaction that they took out some of the 'infidels' with them. Much as a suicide bomber.

Corporations are not Socialist

One thing all of you posting about how Corporations = Socialist Government. Being part of a company in a free economy is a choice. If you feel oppressed by your boss or underpaid/under-appreciated/make-up-your-whine-of-choice, quit, go get another job, or even start your own business, become your own boss.

If you are stuck in a socialist regime of government, you have no choice. You do what they say you must, and that's the end of it. Your only option is to uproot yourself and try to find a free-er country/society that will take you in.

At present, your options are pretty limited in the latter as more of Western Europe moves further and further left. Eastern Europe knows better, but they don't have all the infrastructure in place yet from years of third world USSR status.

But it's ok. Keep comparing private companies to socialist government. It's obvious you know what you're talking about because all rich people are evil and only out to screw you.
