The great Satan.

[RICHARD]

The great Satan is at it again.

The United States sent some aid to the earthquake victims
on Bam, Iran....

At last count there were almost 35,000 people killed and countless others hurt. 35,000 people will fill up your local sports venue.

Some aid efforts, notably one led by former Red Cross head, Libby Dole, were turned down by the Iranian government.

Here in the US we get a same magnitude quake and we lose 3 people with 10 hurt....thanks to the building codes and the fact that the government doesn't insist on keeping us poor and illiterate..

Or maybe being in league with Satan has it's privileges.

:rolleyes:

[mugsy]

YOU'VE got to be kidding!!! They turned down the aide? I hadn't heard that. I did hear that our old buddy Osama sent a message to us about Brittany Spears! lol

Israel offered but were also turned down.

There have also been reports that some people were turning down transfusions of 'Jewish blood'.


Poor baby,

I guess living in a cave isn't becoming of the leader of Al Queda...

Tsk, Tsk Osama....I always thought that you were a little tougher than you seem to be..but then again a whole year of camping and running for my life would make me bitter, too!

He's pissed off that Brittney can makes videos and he just sends out audio tape. Get some implants and a cheesey wardrobe and you'll be back in business...
:rolleyes:

I hear there's a nice little bunker in Iraq that's now available.;)

[mugsy]

Are we feeling a bit testy tonight?? lol

Osama simply doesn't like us because we have what they don't....oh yeah...and we're infidels. :rolleyes:

As for Brittany....if I hear one more report about her marriage and anullment, I may have to do something drastic.

[2kitties]

OBL said something nasty about my girl Britney??? Just what I needed- another reason to hate him.

lol, When OBL moves in we'll get Saddam to come over and decorate his spider hole......Like that program "guess who's coming to decorate"




Close you eyes Osama.........

We've white washed the walls and put in a new fan...

Now can you guess who came over to help us out???


Mugs,

Testy???

Me, Testy???

[trayi52]

Well gee, you would actually hate some poor cave dweller?;) That hates us women with a Passion? We are only women!! Guess he don't like the fact that we wear the pants and he is stuck in his cave with only nightclothes to wear.....and he has to move a lot, no cave to call his home for very long at a time.....;)

yes, something about your girl brittney's LV wedding... which, I gotta say has my eyes rolling so far back I look like Reagan from the Exorcist....:rolleyes: :D

[Soledad]

But don't you think that it would be hypocritical of Iran to take the U.S.'s money if they're so opposed to everything we stand for?

Just a thought....

[mugsy]

Don't take it....doesn't matter to me....just don't whine about how evil we are and how rich we are and and and.....


just a thought...

[Soledad]

No need to get snarky about it. I was just trying to bring up a point.

:rolleyes:

[Corinna]

It hasn't ever stopped them before to take our money and aid. Or any of the other countries that hate us. End of soap box

[gini]

Snarky? I am going to have to look that one up!:D

[mahayana]

The other side of this, 35 or 40,000 lives being snuffed, is that it has nothing to do with anyones political beliefs.

Come on, these are women, children, babies, old men, students demonstrating against the regime...an unimaginable amount of innocent life destroyed by nature. The scene in Iran is horrific to the max, and your response is shallow and what???

This is 2/3 of the lives we lost in Vietnam, 10X what 911 took...does it really matter what country it happened to?

I have Iranian friends. They are crying.

[Soledad]

It's hard for me to comprehend such a massive loss of life.

Well put Mahayana...
It doesn't have anything to do with people's political beliefs. Theirs. Or ours.

[gini]

We have a large Iranian population in Los Angeles and they are devastated by the loss of life in their homeland.

Here, we had a large earthquake and sadly two lives were lost.

We seem to measure the loss in dollars rather than lives.

I cannot fathom losing your entire family in a matter of seconds let alone losing a huge portion of the population of a city.

[trayi52]

Very well said Mahayana!! I couldn't agree more!

[mugsy]

It is a horribly tragic event and I grieve for the families and friends who lost loved ones and homes. I think because the area that was hit was so ancient that contributed to the huge loss of life since there was no defense.

I think Richard's point was that our government offered to send aide to the area both money and people and supplies and the Iranian government turned down the help. I don't think was meant to be a political statement, just a frustrated statement that the help was offered and it was turned down.

I hope and pray that the needed help will arrive from SOMEWHERE. Those people are suffering and need some relief. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

[2kitties]

If I'm a victim of this disaster and my government turns down aid from other countries- I'm PISSED! I think the fact they turned down the aid is just testament to the assinine politics of the regime.

Head down to a local sports arena and count the seats.

Put a son, daughter, mother, father, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew
in each..Then you figure that for every seat there is, there's a mom and dad...

It's has nothing to do with politics.....It has to do with STUPID
people running a country..

By the way,

Iran did accept some US aid but turned down other attempts to
help the people there..

But then again,
I'd be kinda pissed that THE GREAT SATAN was trying to come into
my 'hood and make the people see what a benevolent, caring bunch of people live in the US.....

It may just offset the all the bad stuff they teach about us..

Maybe we really do suck, we stupid Americans just don't realize it.

How would I look with horns and pointy tail?

Iran didn't refuse all US Aid, just the aid which came with an official delegation. In other words, we'll take your money, we just don't want any american presence to stir up the moderates any more than neccesary. There are US relief workers in Iran, (civilian and military), but Liddy Dole was too much for them to handle.

Yes that's true, but you don't want to spoil Richard's fun now
do you ? ( Oh, It was Elizabeth Dole, so probably Lizzie, or Libbie?)

[RICHARD]

just to pull us back to the original thread.............

Earthquakes are a real shocker.

You say to yourself, "I know what I will do....."

BS

I am sorry that the people in Bam have suffered so much and it angers me that the powers that be see what kind of aid they will
get....

Until you have lived thru a quake you cannot imagine the
way your world can be literally turned up-side down.....

I heard one person describe it like this...

Paraphrased here....


The one thing that you always can count on, the earth beneath your feet, is no longer something you can depend on............

Send them prayers and a dollar, should you find it in your heart.....


Kindness knows no politics.



You guys rock!
