Religious zealots and fanatics are a blight on all of civilization. Those who practice certain forms of Islam or any other religion that refuses to modernize with the times are doomed to rot in their own misery.
Have we not had enough killing and war and death to last for eternity? What has ever been solved by more destruction? Targeting innocent animals is unconscionable and disgusting by any standards. Those people need to be made to suffer the consequences of their own ignorance and stupidity.

The government of iran represent an oppressed people and the young man looking for his dog is what I expect a Persian to do
1 Corinthian 13:13
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” and the love even that shown by a dog is more than exists in the oppressors of iran

Iran has not been a threat to any of its neighbors since the latter days of the Persian Empire in 1747. In fact, the only wars it has been involved in since then were purely defensive ones. Iran resisted succesfully the rising colonial powers of Imperial Russia and the British Empire, losing almost half of its territories in the process during the corrupted Qajar dynasty. The only other modern day war that it was involved in was the 8 year defensive war against Saddam’s Iraq (which BTW were supported by the US). In fact, if the CIA had not overthrown the democratically elected prime minister Mossadegh in 1953 and replaced him with the corrupt US puppet, the Shah, the current mullahs would never have come to power. Call it blowback!

All who talk of a pre-emptive strike today on Iran are just being ignorant if not outright murderous or insane. Iran, as opposed to the US, Israel, India and Pakistan, IS a signatory of NPT (nuclear non-proliferation treaty), and therefore has every right under the treaty to develop a peaceful nuclear capability.

As far as religion is concerned, like most religions in this world, Shi’a Islam falls in the bottom ranks of morality and of no useful purpose to humanity. The sad fact that the ‘impure’ dogs (and other animals) have had to pay such a toll is just another tragic example of their moral depravity.

Nicholas,

Dogs have nothing to do with why the West should or should not drop bombs on a supporter of world terrorism who is attempting to develop nuclear weapons as you well know, and nobody is making that argument. There are good arguments for attacking Iran as the lesser of two evils, but I would bet that in your mind there is never a good reason for war.

Choose to be passively incinerated if you wish. I would prefer to act preemptively in self-preservation. Unfortunately, your death means my death and that of millions of others. For that reason, we must deny you your choice if Iran refuses to obey the nuclear non-proliferation treaty to which it is a party.

Maybe too many people die from infected dog bites. Maybe this is simply propaganda.

It is not however a reason to drop bombs on a sovereign nation. The West assumes that the nuclear reactors are a reason, and Iran’s disagreement is not a reflection of the state of dog pounds.
