Come...Hi Chey. Nice of you to stop by and comment.<br /><br />Come to think of it, the US and/ or Israel might have a lot of success if they just went ahead and <a href="http://www.imao.us/docs/NukeTheMoon.htm" rel="nofollow">Nuked the Moon</a>. It's a plan so crazy, it just might work!<br /><br />Joking aside, nuking Japan at the end of WWII, as shockingly horrific as it was, probably <i>saved</i> a million lives. Sometimes, a nation must do what it must do, cold-bloodedly, in order to prevent an ever-increasing body count and bring an end to the madness. <br /><br />War is never the answer, except when it is.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-39722099646386209252014-11-21T21:28:55.375-08:002014-11-21T21:28:55.375-08:00There is an interesting mix of sane brilliance and...There is an interesting mix of sane brilliance and murderous bullshit here.

Israel's most recent treatment of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip due to "Operation Protective Edge" - heck, even their general treatment of the Palestinians in past 50 years - should certainly make any morally sane person wary of their possession of nuclear weapons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-16191652762635387682014-11-20T19:34:35.633-08:002014-11-20T19:34:35.633-08:00I hear there's a penalty for taking the Lord&#...<i> I hear there's a penalty for taking the Lord's name in vain....</i><br /><br />Half the distance to the goal line and loss of down.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-7638297803335133112014-11-20T19:24:44.039-08:002014-11-20T19:24:44.039-08:00I once heard the parable of the sower described fo...I once heard the parable of the sower described for modern ears as, "the kingdom of heaven is like a radio set to a good frequency, but the devil comes in the night and turns the dial to some noisy static." <br /><br />Speaking of which, Obama is talking.Joan of Argghh!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14729682908266300507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-28774587080913177742014-11-20T18:21:03.610-08:002014-11-20T18:21:03.610-08:00it must be something even "higher" and m...<i>it must be something even "higher" and more fundamental than a dead baby.
