"Nobody is sitting in Iran today developing nuclear weapons.
Tehran doesn�t have an ongoing nuclear weapons program. But
somehow, everyone in the West is talking about how Iran�s
nuclear program is the greatest threat to the world. In many
ways, I think the threat has been hyped.
Yes, there�s concern and Iran needs to be more transparent
with the IAEA. We still have outstanding questions about some
of the research they�ve conducted, and we still need to verify
that there aren�t undeclared activities taking place inside of
the country.
But the idea that we�ll wake up tomorrow and Iran will have a
nuclear weapon is crazy. We just haven�t seen any indication
of that.�

It's hard for me to believe what you just said, Rich.
My position has always been for equal rights and justice for ALL human
beings under the international laws the USA has stood for and signed onto:
Human Rights belong to people collectively. To believe in rights
for some and not others is a denial of the humanness of people
worldwide.
Our famous words, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness," did not declare that some men
(and women) are without unalienable rights.
Likewise, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, created by the
United Nations in 1948 and signed and ratified by the U.S. Congress,
specifies in its preamble that "recognition of the inherent dignity and
of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family
is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world."
-You're the homophobic bigot who doesn't think gays should have equal
legal marriage rights [including the title of 'marriage' itself] with
heteros.
You're also the anti-Islamic bigot xenophobe who simply cannot recognize
that Israel has for decades unjustly abused and oppressed the
Palestinian people as a whole - including issuing them different legal
rights in the Israeli courts.
I used to have respect for you, but you have shown yourself to be
nothing more than an ideological xenophobe and homophobic bigot.
Nope. I see shades of ideological xenophobia and homophobic bigotry.

This has nothing to do with Judaism and is therefore off-topic.
Your IP will be informed.
Like I said, they'll laugh at you.
You don't have a clue how usenet works. For someone who claims to know
law, you're dumber than a sack of dog shit.
For you to suggest that either Duwayne or myself are anti-Semitic is a
clear indication of your willful blindness to the facts we have both
presented.
Like Mormons [or any other entrenched ideologues] who have been exposed
for their bigotries, hypocrisies and transparent denials, you resort to
making up insults that have no basis in reality.
I can only speak for myself but from what I've seen of Duwayne's
material, he like myself, stands firmly for *EQUAL* rights and *EQUAL*
treatment under international law for *ALL* human beings.
You indeed ARE a bigot.
The fact that you ARE a bigot is plain and obvious in the exclusionary
'except for' positions you have taken against both gays and the
Palestinians. You have excluded each group of human beings from *EQUAL*
rights and *EQUAL* protection under international law.
It's assholes like you who perpetuate divisivenesses and hatred in the
world.
== My statements stand as fact: "You're from a dying off bunch of
xenophobic and homophobic bigots, Measures - plain and simple.
I thought you had a bigger vision than that kind of limited
small-mindedness. You don't. You're a classic bigot."
>> I thought you had a bigger vision than that kind of limited
>> small-mindedness. You don't. You're a classic bigot.

Ah, no, it's assholes like YOU who are going to DESTROY IT.
Homosexuality is a pointless and destructive deviant BEHAVIOR condemned
(along with every other deviant sexual behavior) by God, not a "race" or
"gender;" and God says NO ONE BELONGS IN ISRAEL EXCEPT ISRAEL.
That makes YOU the "asshole" in God's book.
