I so hope he is wrong, but fear he is not. My friend believes the fundamentalists want to bring on armageddon. What do you think?

A personal question Kris...Do you have children? I often wonder how this affects people's view of the future of mankind.

Nope. I wouldn't want to bring them into this world, thanks.

What I fear happens so much is that people like you are the ones who should be bringing children into this world. Might make the world a better place.

I'm thinking that our children are the ones who will be working towards preventing any Armageddon scenarios ... at least that's what I hope for. Bringing children into the world brings hope for the future. Of course, it's hard not to think that way when I look at my daughter and her friends. Beauty and Hope. That's how I look at it :)

For me, the answer is yes, and I am quite concerned about the deteriorating socio-politcal fabric of our world. However, Western Civilization has endured worse challenges. There may be a feted inner core (sorry, couldn't resist ;) ) that would love to bring about Armageddon, but honestly, I don't think it's of any real, imminent threat.

unproven allegations that "U.S. planning for possible attack on Iran" = "the fundamentalists want to bring on armageddon"? wow, nice.

anyway you can't bring on armageddon you silly rabbit. 9 out of 10 evil overlords fail because they don't realize this. :D

I seriously doubt Bush could get the support of the American people for a war in Iran. Information is probably getting gathered in Iran. I'm sure this part is true , but what Bush may want and what will happen are probably opposites. We have a lot of soldiers in Iraq and money resources tied up there.

Did he have the support of the American people when he invaded Iraq? Some, for sure, but I'd be willing to bet it certainly wasn't a concensus.

If Bush starts another war that will be the last straw for me as a citizen of this country. I'll renounce it and move somewhere else. I think Iran is a problem that will take care of itself. The youth in Iran are very pro-west and pro-democracy. If we were to attack Iran all it would accomplish is to turn the Iranian youth against those things. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this is true. Bush is a narrow minded myopic idiot. I hope he chokes on a pretzel.
