If there's no sanctioning mechanism for states that don't pay attention to the Court's rulings, or alternatively, opt to drop out of OAS and thus aren't beholden to the court, what's the point? Optional justice really shouldn't be an option.

And international justice, save that which is backed up by force, is a fallacy, with more historical backing than you can shake a pointy head at.

We always have hope that Dean Wormer can put Iran on Double Secret Probation. Neutral

Sonny, you can't invade and occupy other countries that haven't yet hurt yours.

There's a big hole in Manhattan you should see. That's where the 'hurt' was and countries harboring terrorists have been told the consequences.

/how soon they forget

but that was not cuased by Iran. it was caused by a group of people with the same beliefs with no international border.

that's like saying if you arrest every Italian organized crime will cease too. you can't go after everyone that does not beleive in your own personal belief, relgeon. that mentality is exactly the way to start a war.

(note i am partially itialin and only using this as a stereotype example, i have nothing against the italians.)

If a countries "personal beliefs" advocate harboring terrorists, I guess you're right then. But our commander in chief has issued the warning, no one should be surprised out there.

If they "tolerate" the terroroists the political folks can/should be held responsible. this however is hard to do in border towns where people border hop. any permanent structures set up, such as a training camp, should be detryoed. i doubt they need permanent structures though to learn how to push a body bomb button.

Do any of you think we shouldn't target Iran next? Or shall we just wait for another 9/11 style attack on American soil?

I'll answer your question with a question: Don't you think Israel will act before we will?

Good question. Obviously don't know that answer, but would guess that Israel would act first.

That's what I'm guessing too.

According to The Associated Press, "Iran Military Begins Biggest Ever Naval Maneuvers":

"TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's armed forces began their biggest ever military maneuvers Friday to demonstrate 'national solidarity,' state-run television reported.

"The maneuvers in the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean are the same that a plane that crashed in Tehran on Tuesday -- killing 94 crew and passengers -- was heading to. They also come amid concerns over Iran's nuclear program and its hard-line policy toward Israel…

"'The maneuvers are aimed at testing the preparedness of the armed forces and demonstrate national unity in defending the country,' a state-run TV announcer said without elaborating.

"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad drew international criticism after saying Thursday that Israel should be moved to Europe and questioning whether the Holocaust took place. He has previously called for Israel to be 'wiped off the map.'"

Meanwhile, the U.K. Times Online is reporting, "Israel Readies Forces for Strike on Nuclear Iran":

"ISRAEL'S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to be ready by the end of March for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran, military sources have revealed.

"The order came after Israeli intelligence warned the government that Iran was operating enrichment facilities, believed to be small and concealed in civilian locations.

"Iran's stand-off with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over nuclear inspections and aggressive rhetoric from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, who said last week that Israel should be moved to Europe, are causing mounting concern.

"The crisis is set to come to a head in early March, when Mohamed El-Baradei, the head of the IAEA, will present his next report on Iran. El-Baradei, who received the Nobel peace prize yesterday, warned that the world was 'losing patience' with Iran.

"A senior White House source said the threat of a nuclear Iran was moving to the top of the international agenda and the issue now was: 'What next?' That question would have to be answered in the next few months, he said.

"Defense sources in Israel believe the end of March to be the 'point of no return' after which Iran will have the technical expertise to enrich uranium in sufficient quantities to build a nuclear warhead in 2-4 years.

"'Israel -- and not only Israel -- cannot accept a nuclear Iran,' Sharon warned recently. 'We have the ability to deal with this and we're making all the necessary preparations to be ready for such a situation.'"

If you thought the spike in oil prices was bad with Katrina, just wait until Israel cuts loose on Iran. We'll be longing for the days of $2 a gallon. Neutral

Better buy oil now folks. It's coming sooner rather than later.

Does anyone honestly believe the Israelis will let a man sworn to destroy them build an atomic bomb??

Don't worry G. Kofi is on the job. I'm sure he will work things out with them.

I'm predicting oil at $120 a barrel shortly after the bombs start falling.
