"South Park" does Mohammed?

South Park is going to do a Mohammed "cartoon" in next weeks episode... unless Comedy Central pulls it. Michelle Malkin has the full story.

Since Michelle isn't a regular South Park watcher, one of her readers informed her that Mohammed had already made an appearance on the show nearly 5 years ago. There were no riots, protests or big reactions back then. Interesting.


On another matter:

Iran and Terrorism

In an earlier post on this topic, I quoted some excerpts from an article about how Iran is poised to launch terror attacks on the west if anyone bombs their nuclear facilities.

A blog called "The Strata-Sphere" has a post called "Iran Worse Than Iraq and Al Qaeda Combined", which is a rebuttle to the article I quoted earlier. It maintains that the reasons given for not attacking Iran are the very reasons why we must. It's a good arguement.

I've never watched South Park. I may have to make an exception for this one... if, like you say, it isn't pulled.

If we don't take out Iran's nuclear facilities it will be the biggest mistake we have ever made, and we have made some whoppers in the past, but they will look like silly boo boos compared to this one.

If Iran is this bad without nukes, they can only be worse with nukes. The threat of Mutually Assured Destruction doesn't work with people who don't care about dying. A nuke is the ultimate suicide bomb.

I just hope that if we do strike them, it is done by suprise, without warning. Iran won't back down, and if it escalates as a media circus first, the Iranians will surround the facilities with women and children, Cindy Sheehan and assorted Moonbats will join in... ok, that last part could be and advantage, but the rest of the media circus would only play in Iran's favor.

Iran has a lot of terrible internal problems right now; massive unemployment; drug addiction; 50 percent of the population is in their 20's, restless and with few job prospects. The Mullah's have been making many unpoplular decisions.

An attack could push them under and bring about a change of government, or could make them go ballistic with all they have. But a confrontation seems just about unavoidable, and better that it should happen now than before nukes are involved.
