Oscar agenda
    "Hollywood loves Islamic terrorists. Especially Palestinian ones. And they don't care for Israel, either.
    "That's the message we got with [last week's] announcement of Oscar nominations. Oscar turns 78, and dementia in old age has apparently set in.
    "Both Steven [Spielberg's] 'Munich' and pro-Hamas Palestinians' 'Paradise Now' (Best Foreign Film) got nominations for Oscars. ...
    "But the most meaningful award, box office returns, gave both movies a strong thumbs down. Both movies, which legitimize Islamic terrorists, were huge flops. ...
    "?'Syriana' -- which also paints Islamic terrorists as nice people who had to do it because we made them lose their jobs on the oil fields, so they had to turn to extremist Islam and homicide bombs -- also got nominated (blowhard George Clooney as Best Actor).
    "Oscar also loves gay agenda films, too, apparently. Not only did 'Brokeback Mountain' get eight nominations, but 'TransAmerica' was also nominated."

Edison wished he could stuff the genie back into the bottle. Once a country has the means to produce nuclear weapons they will feel compelled to produce them. I am not against Iran have a bomb and allowing New Zealand* to develop them. I am against any new members of the "we own a device that can only be used to destroy massive numbers of people and make land uninhabitable" club. I wish we could go back.

In a way the problem is similar to the criminal behavior of one or more members of Congress regarding the politicization of international counterterrorism. Eight represented members were told of an important secret program to protect us from terrorists. One criminal decided that they knew better than anyone else. They let the genie out of the bottle, and now US (and by proxy international) interests are compromised.

Iran has a terrorist as their President. They are not the model of stable democracy. One more unstable dictatorship who would schedule secret flights exporting their terrorist WMDs to Syria under pretense of flood relief. So, one unstable dictatorship gives the WMDs to another. Each link in this weak chain increases the risk of terrorists getting WMDs.

One other problem: Iran has been the largest state sponsor of terrorists for over a decade. Do you really want them to light up the ME?
