but that's probably closing the gate once the horse has disappeared over the horizon.

Just for you here's some information about the relative armed forces:

Aircraft.
Iran: 551 Total.
Fighters 186 (121 ready)
Fighter/bombers: 23 (15 ready)
Attack helicopters: 13 (ready 8)

US: 13,2098 Total.
Fighters 1854 (ready 1,391)
Fighter/bombers: 896 (672 ready)
Attack helicopters: 1000 (ready 750)

Navy.
Iran: 101 Total. Carriers 0
US: 472. Carriers 11

Manpower:
Iran: Active 610,000. Reserve 350,000
Us: Avtive: 1,328,000 Reserve 799,000

They are not being "swept aside" and if it does come to war it will mean more death and more destruction which is something I've never ONCE supported (and AGAIN, the briefest glance at what I post would show that) but you are talking at me like I have and do and I seriously resent the accusation.

Other than that point out where in my post, or ANY of my other posts, I have ever supported the apartheid state, the US and their wars.

Pointing out that Professor Marandi had abandoned his usual reserved, factual style (again something I've often admired and posted here because I thought people should see and hear it) for a slightly more jingoistic stlye where the US will be swept aside and swept out of Iraq and the world economy brought to its knees doesn't suddenly make me a supported of the US and it's war machine.

If that's not good enough, I refer you to my previous imprecations.
