Iran

I think the entire Middle East should be nuked or taken over. That place has been a problem for centuries and the fact that we are giving them billions of oil dollars every year probably isn't helping anything. I cringe every time I fill my car/truck up. In fact, I cannot wait until we need a new car so that I can look for a hybrid or flex fuel vehicle. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to support America's farmers versus the Middle East.

I was reading an article the other day about how much money the Middle East is making and what they are doing with it. One thing they are doing is building a ton of stuff and diversifying. They are building a resort somewhere that will have the tallest building in the world, designed by a Chicago architect/engineering firm and built buy Turner who is out of New York. Ain't that ironic. They blow up the World Trade Center and then build a building that is bigger than it. Meanwhile, almost 5 years have gone by since 9/11 and we still don't have anything built like the World Trade Center. Oh yeah, they also own 5% of Ferrari, 3% of Daimler Chrysler, and a ton of other companies. If the magazine wasn't in a doctor's office, I would have had the article framed to remind me about this every day.

My buddy flies F-18's, and he is going out on a carrier in a month that is headed to the Middle East. He said he will be out at sea for less than 6 months, unless Iran decides to be stupid.
