http://www.internettrafficreport.com/asia.htm cut one undersea cable, and the entire nation is silent.
It's not just in Iran, but across the Middle East (with the exception of Iraq and Israel... gee I wonder why?), as well as large sections of Asia and northern Africa. They say it's four undersea cables now.
hey rat whats your beef with American imperialism? (u cite Rochester, Ny as your hometown) On behalf of America, I'm sorry for any innocent Iraqis or all other innocent lives that are lost, but I support all conquest that makes my home nation powerful and strong. (I didnt add an exclamation mark b/c I thought it might be disrespectful to the tragedies faced by other nations)
If you're so fond of it, then why aren't you over there fighting? And how has it made the US more powerful and strong? We are beginning to see the same thing happen that has happened to empires all throughout history. They eventually begin to collapse and fall under their own weight. The US has bankrupted itself fighting these wars, as the divide between the rich and the poor continues to grow. So I don't see how you can say it has made this country "powerful and strong." I am not benefiting from any of this. Are you?
okay okay buddy, one step at a time. Not only shall I submit to one of your points but I agree that perhaps the middle class/lower class is getting fucked in this "crusade". But!!!! While I am pissed at that, take a look at it for the whole of America! answer this my wise friend! Theoretically, pre-Iraq II, there is a chance that Islamist fascists (Iraq/Iran/saudi etc...) band together and form a huge empire and combine their powers. Meaning we have a huge fascist empire that is fundamentally against us! B) We conquer/occupy Iraq, and thus preventing Russia/China from gaining a threshhold over the region. Meaning, We... Get oil. They.... Don't!. "If you're so fond of it, then why aren't you over there fighting?" --Pressed Rat Thats a fucking rhetorical statement!!!! That statement is a perfect example of a staple of American politics, just fucking admit it. Thats the reason why your a piece of shit (cuz u use the same tactics of the very people you denounce!!!!) Thus like me, perhaps other people should take your comments with a grain of salt. (with all due respect that is = P
Personally anyone who doesn't like it here can leave. Then we can ask you opinion about that country after they massacre you for a free trip to heaven. Islam is the key issue, the radicals are just following their faith word for word where the peaceful muslim isn't that muslim after all. They aren't to be our friends even. They are to enslave us, convert us or kill us, but never treat us with dignity or respect.
Wrong. I was just at the Iranian president's website. http://www.president.ir/en/ The outage isn't complete, but it is widespread. And here's something to think about. If we were to attack Iran, blinding it in such a way would be one of the first orders of business. They say these cables (3 cables at last count) were cut by ship's anchors. Maybe. Maybe not. x
Maybe they're against us because we've kept this whole area under lockdown for decades? Ever think about that? You need to entertain the fact that America has a dark side. One thats getting out of control in the world. People are scared of us now, and they're taking measure to protect themselves. x
