EasySt Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Mcnamara's rule #2, Empathize with the enemy. IMHO, everyone should be trying to understand why Iran feels the need to stir up shit and not pissing and moaning about it. Apparently VP Bush and President Cheney were too busy reading "the little train that could" and missed this lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkkbound04 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Some people easily or deliberately confuse empathy with sympathy. Understanding what they're about is key to dealing with the problems caused.The 15 minutes of fame Aminijad achieved today won't hold the front pages for long.

chuckwoww Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 If anyone thinks this is just about Ahmedinajad's '15 minutes of fame' they clearly don't understand Iran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Maybe both were the mistakes. At any rate, this will no doubt bring sorrow to the board members who were begging the question about new hostilities breaking out over this incident...and, seemingly, hoping that it would.

trooper Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Damn. I was already decided to order a program package that includes CNN, SKY and Al Jazeera. Shame Fox news is not available here, that would have been the best. The live broadcasted fire show in Bangdad when the last war started looked better than the show that ened last Olympics. Only maybe a couple of more people did actually die in that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I think they got off lightly. Do you think if Iranian troops had been picked up in Iraq waters that would have recieved the same treatment? I doubt it. Huge slap in the face for the Coalition and I am sure the Iranians will frequently remind the world, who it is, that conduct themselves in a civilised manner. to Ahmadinejad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the news fails to report is that it's estimated well over 20,000 innocent women and children have been killed. But Fox News does not care about that. There is NOTHING cool about that sort of fireworks. The shame should be on yourself for thinking that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkkbound04 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Nope, its all in hand, Ahminijand will enjoy his 15mins of adoration and fame thinking that he has changed the world view his favour. What has changed, a few gullibles love the new suites issued to the service men, the girl got a few rags!! and a clear statement women had no role in these matters, that should set the feminists thinking! Soon as easter holidays are over its back to business. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
