Bombing in Iran

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,251843,00.html

Quote:
TEHRAN, Iran — A car loaded with explosives blew up near a bus carrying members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards in southeastern Iran on Wednesday, killing 11 of them and wounding 31. An Al Qaeda-linked Sunni militant group reportedly claimed responsibility.
I feel like I'm watching a football game and hoping both teams lose.

Hey, after we build a fence on our own border, and create an alternative energy source, can we build one around that entire region, blockade it, and airdrop weapons and ammo till there is only one tribe left, and negotiate with them?

TR-
The fence or wall around our border would have to built by 'undocumented workers' as the low bidders for the project, and it would line the pockets of a few pol;iticians, which would lead to there being a few strategically placed holes so the corrupt politicians could keep their 'undocumented workforce' intact. Oh, and the fencing material would be manufactured in China by slave labor and the government would pay for it with a credit grant (allowable debt repurchase) from the Chinese Government. Security provided by the Russian mafia.

Yes, my cynicism and sarcasm have reached new lows after reading the news today....

Would be nice if we could start an insurgency by proxy in some of these states (see: Syria and Iran) and begin blowing up some of their interests.

I will be probably be jailed as a right-wing subversive -- even though I am generally a moderate independent -- only because according to the dims I stand about a 1/4 mile to the right of Attilla or Ghenghis Khan on a few issues, imagine that, me to the right as a FOG QP...

Know of any good 'campgrounds' in Montana, or Idaho, or one of the Dakotas?
I may need to book some time there after the next election.
