I doubt it would be that hard...
You just do NOT understand Islam. You want to overthrow a Shi-ite Imam in a nation that is close to 100% Shi-ite? That is the stupidist idea I have ever heard in my life. The entire nation, women, children, cripples, old men, dogs; they would ALL fight the American occupation. It would seriously be a .5% minority that we would put into power after overthrowing and imprisoning the major religious and political leader of Iran.
On a side note, I was watching Fox News yesterday and the guy on Fox and Friends was talking about the Lebanese soldier who probably deserted the army. The Fox News anchor said "The soldier thanked God (eventhough he's a muslim) that he got back safely after being held hostage." WHAT THE **** IS THIS ******* ****! It's the same GOD! If you said that about a Jew there would be hell to pay, but no, it's ok to just completely blast Muslims and call them godless; good job douchebag.
Regarding Kerry and his "ties" to the british royal family....so what? Why does it matter at all who his great great great great great cousin twice removed was? It doesn't influence him in the slightest. And the Yale Skull and Bones Society, yeah big deal! It's an extra curricular organization, it's not like they have some secret agenda to rule the world; if everyone had to obey and stay true to college buddies or what they believed in in college, the world would be a messed up place. It won't be the same if it was Kerry, although I also admit that I don't like him all that much.
Another thing, everyone is predicting a close election, but I really think that no one is counting on minorities and youth to turn out to the polls like I think they will, plus when minorities are disenfranchised and turned away from the polls (especially in swing states such as the Great State of Florida), there will be hell to pay in the form of lawsuits; I don't think anyone will do that this year. I really think Kerry could run away with this election.
And finally I want to know why we consider "flip flopping" on issues a weakness. Do you really want people in charge who are so arrogant that they believe they are 100% correct every single time and that nothing can happen to prove them wrong? I guess the old saying "it takes a real man to admit when he's wrong" doesn't apply to politicians, which I think is a shame.
