It would appear Iran will have their nuclear bombs with delivery vehicles ready before the UN can complete their 17 resolutions and ten year waiting period....

> Name a very rich person that has gotten their by directly stealing from the poor. That's at least twice you've dodged this question. Try the lumber or railroad barons of the 19th century. Try the Southern plantation owners whose slaves provided their livelihood. Try 20th century corps. relying on slave labor wages in Central America after the lower classes rejected those wages in the US. The list is endless and should be obvious to anyone who has studied American history in non GOP schools. And it occurs on many different levels. Some people pay half their wages to rich landlords for their apts. when 30% is considered the ideal number. It is very difficult to go from rags to riches in this country........contrary to the myth in popular culture. Most of today's rich are scions of those lumber, oil, mineral and railroad barons of previous generations. And that ripoff occurs in other ways...........jr. got into the Harvard MBA program with low Cs from Yale. What lesser class person with better grades got cut to accommodate the rich and pampered son of Bush I? The cliche: the rich get richer off the backs of the poor is as true today as it was when it first was suggested.
