Mushroom Clouds Are Looming (?)
Ok, I'm going to go out on an politically-naive limb and say that dropping nukes on Iran is probably not the super best of cool ideas. In fact, it kinda sucks balls. If you're so moved to declaim such an activity (and are of the personality type "US Citizen") please click here and rock out with the MoveOn petitioning.

"Irregardless of MD's feelings on the matter"
??? wha ???
firstly, "irregardless" ain't a word. "regardless" will do just fine, signor gill sans.
secondly, what are these feelings of which you speak? cuz i'm searching my brain and finding nothing related to "nukes + iran" that i've ever expressed.
lovingly but still confusedly,

and for the record, i'm against dropping nuclear weapons, anywhere, anytime, unless (i suppose) a very extreme circumstance arose, far more extreme than anything even barely on the horizon now.
that is an statement in the abstract (and any important political/miltary decision is irreducibly tied to its indigenous contexts, and thus the opposite of abstract) but as a general rule, the abstract holds pretty good for me.
nuclear weapons are as nearly all-bad as anything can possibly be.

note: MD is referring to an earlier version of this post, which i altered because it was mean. apologies to all....
I was wondering about that too - ended up wasting 5 minutes scouring MD's site - "he said what??"...
for a sec I thought this was a mis-timed april fool's gig...
yes, april 12 was the original, pagan april fools, before the catholic church, as usual, tried standardized everything to its current april 1. it was a battle for millenia before the pagans said, "fine, church, you can HAVE your april 1st! we'll keep on with our secret traditions of april 12, hahaha!" paul and i, typically telegraphic with each other, instantly realized that we had needlessly shed our pagan selves for too long and in a moment of self-reactualization, remembered our true being and thus pulled the wool over all's sweet eyes. and then it all passed, and we returned to our post-pagan existence, dumb to the sequentialization of modern life. but no worries, it was refreshing, actually.
loving and clearheadedly,
md
