Iran - Born to be Wild Interesting comment BB. Yes I can believe the Iranian youth could appreciate the USA. But there is maybe a problem here....Your "end zone dance" over the Turkish control of water to the ME... Message 17917167 Water is not owned. It is borrowed. Every civil engineer knows that. OK some dumb guys in Israel are "mining" it so there is no natural replacement but that is not "normal". If some one upstream of a river cuts off water supply, then I would argue that that is illegal. The argument is very obvious, though I am not a lawyer. Fact is it doesn't matter I am not a lawyer. So why does Iran and Iraq want to possess Nuclear weapons? If I lived there, and some country like Turkey wanted to destroy the country by cutting off the water supply, I know where my vote would go. Get those nukes and counter the threat with another threat. Russia (the true defender of the working peoples -g-..just joking...) will maybe save them. Brute force on the ME water issue is a loser imho. It will turn the world into fused glass from nuclear explosions more likely.
