It's pretty scary finding out how close we all can be to total destruction -- especially by human error. Damn scary! 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Yes, I actually remember watching a video about this in my international relations class a few years ago. Very scary. We can only hope that someone in the Middle East will exercise the same judgement when their time comes. And it will come. I unfortunately doubt it. We already know how little they value they put on human life. I don't think they would hesitate to bomb us into nonexistence.  Then again, we could always take them out first.

That is really scary. Originally posted by MaryCas:
Scary indeed. We can only hope that someone in the Middle East will exercise the same judgement when their time comes. And it will come. Well lets hope that Iran shows som responsability with their nuke program. Look : Iran on Sunday blasted as "illegal" a resolution adopted in Vienna by the watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that sets the country up for referral to the UN Security Council. The Council could impose penalties including international trade sanctions. The resolution drafted by EU negotiators Britain, Germany and France states for the first time since the IAEA began investigating Iran in February 2003 that the Islamic Republic is in "non-compliance" with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This is mainly for hiding sensitive atomic activities for almost two decades and for still failing to answer some of the agency's questions. Makes me wonder what they may really be up to. DS
