Obviously, we don't agree on Iraq. Not in the slightest. As for Iran...What do you think would be a legitimate provocation?

Obviously, most of the Western World is 'not amused' as to the 'head' of Iran saying that "Israel should be wiped off the map".... If the fruit bat does that, would that be provocation enough?

I personally believe most things can be resolved diplomatically, and if they can't be, it's always better to wait for a legitimate provocation before using force.

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love. [Martin Luther King Jr., December 11, 1964]
