North Korea, like Iran, supposedly has Nuclear weapons. North Korea, like Iran, is feared by the U.S. North Korea, like Iran, are places that, out of fear, Republicans feel like we need to bomb.
God, has anybody learned anything from Pearl Harbor? Or even our Atom Bomb droppings on Japan?
Bombing just keeps everything going, in fact it makes the feud between those countries worse.
If we bomb them, they are more likely to bomb us.
If we bomb them, they see us as cowards.
Also, let me explain the physics of this, we think that they have Nuclear Weapons, so we get Nuclear Weapons, and we bomb them. Makes perfect sense, right?
Wrong.
If we drop a few Nukes on them, and let me just point out, that we don't know if they have Nuclear Weapons, and we're just assuming, 'cause, y'know, all Muslims are Terrorists.
Right now, there is about an 100% chance that no, they don't have Nuclear Weapons. But just to be sure, we should assume that that 0% is right, and go in, spend 10 billion dollars a month (and they wonder why our debt is so large), realize that there aren't any, but they'll still stay in Iran, to make sure that they aren't making non-existing Nuclear Weapons (and yes, "Iraqi Road" still wasn't enough).
But back to the point, if we bomb them, we are imposing a threat that is doesn't exist, we need to have Iran see us as a good country. Charitable, forgiving, and genuine.
If we bomb them, we are bad people.
To them, to the world, and to me.
How do we do this?
We give aid.
Iran has a lot of people in need of Aid, and if Ahmadinejad sees that we are supplying aid, it will change our image, slightly at first, but later, by a significant margin.
Also, we half to do it sincerely.
If we don't do it sincerely, and Ahmadinejad knows that, he'll just think that we are trying to suck up.

Election Fraud (?) in Iran
Iran, ever since the Bush administration, (God am I happy that those years are done) has been the only country the world that they hate that they haven't invaded.
Iran has been a country that ever since the years that the U.S. decided that all Muslims were terrorists, has been on the list of countries that the U.S. wants to eliminate.
And with the recent stuff with Iraq, that has fueled another hate of Arabs.
And since Ahmadinejad was in the Presidential position most of the time Iraq was invaded, the U.S. hates him.
Unfair? Yes.
But don't get me wrong, Ahmadinejad has many, many problems. Such as he is a Holocaust denier.
So with the Iranian Presidential Election on its way, where the Election was between Ahmadinejad and someone else, you can see why the U.S. was so thrilled and exited to get the results.
Who exactly was this "someone else"? Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the former Prime Minister.
Mousavi is considered a much more reform figure than Ahmadinejad, and was supposed to be a favorite amongst young voters. Young voters who, if they were basically unanimous, could decide the election.
When the Washington Post took a poll, it showed Ahmadinejad leading by a 2-1 margin. Two thirds of the country.
However, early voting spoke otherwise. It had a lead towards Mousavi.
So, at this point, it could go either way.
On my opinion, neither source has much use.
Nationwide polls are rare for Iranian people, so they may have felt as if the Government was going to come and get them if they didn't say that they were voting for Ahmadinejad.
And most people don't vote early, most people vote on election day.
On June 12, millions of Iranians lined up to vote for someone who was going to help lead their country for the next four years.
And when the results came in, millions of Iranians were surprised.
The election showed a strong victory for Ahmadinejad.
Mousavi demanded a recount.
In just a few days, thousands of people around the world were protesting, most of them showing picket signs that said "Where's My Vote?"On them.
Although Mousavi, and thousands of people worldwide demanded a recount, it wasn't granted to them. And Ahmadinejad was sworn in.
Was there election fraud involved, well, based on the polls, no. However, in statistics, it showed Ahmadinejad and Mousavi close on young voters, which wasn't expected, it was expected that Mousavi would completely destroy Ahmadinejad in that field.
Another thing that fueled protest was that Mousavi lost, by a great margin, in his home district. Which is very rare for a serious competitor in any serious election.
Another election fact that I was suspicious about was that Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran wasn't going to let Ahmadinejad loose, who he has favored all along.
And lastly the fact that there was no recount that was granted to Mousavi makes me think that the results of the recount would probably in Mousavi's favor.
