Haha. Way to go statist idiots.

Voluntary at the start. But then quickly it'll become compulsory. What do you expect from the benevolent master with a big stick?

moderators are for pussies.
it's like having that uncle you barely know have to watch over you while your parents are away.
you dont agree with him.
dont recognize his authority.
but he is the one holding the big stick.
in the end it just means BORING.
a community that cares about that community is a self-correcting organism.
the people on the sift who participate CARE about the sift.
so any shenanigans is usually short lived.
install moderators and you rip the heart out of what makes this place pretty damn special.
i like my video experience with a dash of conflict and a pinch of drama thank-you-very-much.

i am not too concerned about power plays or over-reach.
it would be the stagnant gray dullness that would bother me.
people are interesting.
moderators are not.
so...
hell no.

bunch of hairless apes swimming underwater with really big sticks

bit of *eia going on there whacking the tiny whole with a big stick, no?

Gotta say I agree with Winston here. The only way for Israel to survive as an independent country in the middle east is with a BIG stick.

If French Canadians were lobbing rockets into New England for YEARS.. and the U.S. kept saying, "Stop it now, or we're going to have to do something about this..." and for YEARS nothing was done because the rocketmen were hiding in an old folks home or an orphanage. How many rockets would it take to bomb that building? The people there are obviously not eager to turn in the men with rockets, how would you tell friend from foe?

This is Israel's ONLY choice in dealing with this. It is ugly, it is horrible, and no one enjoys seeing children being killed. But someone please give me a reasonable suggestion on exactly how to stop these people? Eventually, if things get bad enough, anytime a civilian sees someone with a rocket launcher walking up the stairs, that person will know what's about to come down on his home and will beat the crap out of the guy, or report him to someone who will beat the crap out of him... but until you give them a reason to do such a thing, you cannot expect people in Gaza to do what is best for Israel just out of charity. For the longest time there was no downside to letting people lob rockets into Israel... now there is.

this isn't happening? i'd be surprised if something like this went down. I'm not very afraid of the Canadian military. It stands at 60,000 regulars, with 20,000 reserves. With 3000 troops in Afghanistan, and a military suffering from decades of Liberal neglect, with equipment deficits nearing 15 billion dollars needed in replacement parts, aging equipment, and a land mass smaller only than Russia to take and hold from a citizenship that is mostly anti-American, they would need U.S. military assistance to pull off this public relations disaster, further worsening the outlook of a population that wants nothing to do with religious fundamentalism, big stick politics, and narrow minded elitism that dominates American culture.

What a moron. He talks about whipping out a big stick and hitting Iraq with it. Well, that's exactly what we did. And look at us now.

Make love not war you two :-D I'd like to look at it as "speak softly and carry a big stick" . We can work on stem cells, cancer, aids, poverty, and twinkies once we are nice and safe behind our exploading weaponry, deliverable through any/all means necessary. WOULD YOU LIKE SOME BOMBS WITH THAT? :-D

No no, its speak softly and carry a big stick, not carry a twig and then cry like a bitch.

America loves to break out the big stick. Here are a few examples.

"Or we can follow the examples set by Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman and Reagan and break out the big stick."

I think your historical references don't really pan out here, Iran has not attacked anyone recently, or seceded from the union.

Incidentally which army are you suggest doing this with? last I checked ours was already deployed beyond capacity.

Now if you are planning on just an unprovoked air-strikes, that sounds brilliant, since we can't back them up on the ground we will just start a war and run home hoping they don't follow us.

Perhaps this is the neo-con plan to hit somebody who can follow us home so the administration can say "see, they are following us home, just like we said". Of course the media will fail to recognize that response to an unprovoked attack on an internationally recognized nation state and "terrorism" are two different things. But I suppose we are used to this, it's like the osama/sadam switcharoo.

Remember the only things Iran is doing "wrong" are things we do all the time

1) talk about destroying other governments, Israel for them, Afghanistan/Iraq/Iran/North Korea for us.
2) developing nuclear capacity, theoretical for them, well developed for us, and we use them on civilians.
3) Providing material support to resistance fighters in other countries, Iraq for them, and just about everywhere else for us.

Iran's crime is that they are too much like the "USA", maybe they are just trying to be "#1"

We could wait until a major American city is nuked before increasing sanctions and using sterner language condemning iran.

Or we can follow the examples set by Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Truman and Reagan and break out the big stick.

The world isn't fearing crazy Americans like it should. Fear = respect = staying #1.

For those that think Iran is harmless, that's great news! It will make the pilots of the F-22 Raptors we send to take out their military targets more relaxed.
