…anyone reading the comments above would wonder just what story these people had read???

These incidents are never what they appear to be on the surface…just fancy footwork to side step all the secret services that are trying to steal info from each other…

The majority of the comments relating to this article are very disturbing.
It seems to me that the biggest evil of all is nationalism and religious sectarianism.

This nuclear scare is a way to distract us from larger issues at hand. We are not a weak species. The so called rod of god resides floating in space as we speak. Things are being overlooked here ad this surface problem that keeps arising is to do exactly what I read above; divide, distract,and displace the peons. We cannot create change as individuals, we will be made example of by opposing forces. Christians, Muslims, white, black, all titles of separatism. We are humanity, a one type of being despite solidarity. Never forget that, And we may then succeed.

Merry Christmas from an Atheist in America. I’ve been spending the day trying to soothe my head ache, stuffy nose and tired mind.

I some how have entered a loop of websites online, where every story has a link to another with just more horror to expose about the human race.

I will start by saying, I can say for certain, I despise the conservative Christians in the USA, and I despise any other bully and terrorist on the face of the earth. The USgov being the largest, puts me in an awkward position. But seeing as most stories I am being drawn to over and over are about the Christmas holiday and all things religious and political linked to it, (not so much because of “it” but because of those who have created some sort if twisted reality where nothing else matters) I am brought to the thoughts that arise into my waking mind.

I can most definately state, that I am extremely glad I was born in the USA, and I am most certain my grandparents, who immigrated here to have a better life for themselves and their families, were also extreme elated.

However, I never would or will produce offspring. To bring life, blindly and innocently into this world, or into America (which has, in my short life, gone from being somewhat respected, albeit due to blind trust and lack of knowledge, still, more than present time, to being a place or great inner turmoil and strife) would be just self-serving and the greatest act of selfishness.

When I look around the country, and the world for that matter, (I will focus on America, as this is where i have always resided) I see there are three loosely grouped “types” of people.

The first kind of an American is just your average person, pleasantly ignorant, knowingly turning away from what goes on outside their safe little world, (and who of us had not at one time been part of this groups, and who can blame people for wanting to live in a peaceful world?).

The second group consists of the extreme conservative Christians, (who have been tainting this land since Columbus gang raped the Natives and had those who didn’t bring him enough gold, have their hands chopped off). These people haven’t changed much, they were the ones who lynched Quakers, burnt supposed devil worshiping “witches” at the stake, lynched black people, and have been against any person who was not considered “white” and “Christian”, to be unworthy of equal rights.

This is quite an umbrella, because “Christian” and “white” can mean many things, like the before mentioned lynched Quakers, who most likely were considered white and followed one “denomination” of Christianity. So this needs to be expressed more accurately. The word “Majority” will suffice.

So, again, the second group consist generally of the Majority of the population at that time, always being one denomination of Christianity and of a skin-tone able to pass as “white” at that time, (to explain that a little more in depth, Italians were not considered “white” at one point).

This “Majority” also includes socio-economics, which incorporates the gender, and a few other characteristic.

It’s safe to say then, that this group comprises of; white, conservative Christian men who had and have, the most power, both politically and economically, to create laws allowing themselves to control minorities and to stay in power.

This second group is the very essence of evil, that which has become the largest terrorist organization known to mankind, in fact, they are the reason September 1st 2001 happened, the reason why there is oppression all over the country, why America is in decline, and may come crashing down, burning us all alive.

Now the third group of people, I am proud to be included in, are those who once were similar to those in group number one, just going day to day, not wanting to harm any one, just hard working, nice people. However, our eyes have been opened, usually by some earth shattering personal trauma or event that literally jars our reality, leaving us with one question.

For me, it was September 1st, 2001

That ends my rant, which I will continue at another time, most-likely somewhere else

Its time we cut off Israel once and for all. They are of no strategic importance what so ever. Its an insignificant country with a population less than Americas largest cities. Why should we defend them? They’re a strategic reliability. No more aid to Israel, no more weapon sells to Israel, no more coming to their aid at the UN. Lets let them stand on their own and see how long they last. A country of white Jews in a region of brown Muslims was never going to work anyway. You wouldn’t put an Arab Islamic state in the middle of white christian Europe would you? It was a stupid idea from the start, and I’m tired of my tax money being wasted on stupid ideas.

“…there is fear among the Americans that this advanced technology has found its way from China to Iran.”

I doubt that.

More likely the fear is among Israelis that Iran would get hold of the technology — that’s why the Israeli resigned.

Wouldn’t that be poetry, if Iran got the technology and used it to jam some justice up Israel’s arse.

Well wondering why USA is so upset. China is the new power in the region and USA had support Japan recently in their territorial dispute, by sending a ship armada and bomber to show their superiority. I suspected that China had more army capacity that USA think, especially on electronic-computer capacity as they had brake in a few time the intelligence of USA and Australia too.
