Nice to see food going to waste in a "3rd" (loosely) world country [rolleyes]

Why are they dressed up like doctors?

How is Iran even close to a third world country?

[Kghyutgykim]

Hmm... looks more like a bunch of foot longs lined up in a row. Maybe they should say it's a mile of sandwiches long?

By the original cold war definition they fit as a "non-aligned" country. If you're going by the perhaps more typical modern definition roughly analogous to the UN HDI then it's not doing too bad, better than nearly all of South Africa, and about on par with most of south-east Asia.

As for the sandwich going to waste, I was of the impression that everybody in the crowd was going to get a piece. I wouldn't be surprised if every last bit got eaten.

[AntonayPina]

Good. Ostriches scare me.

[Xutrsavf]

how is this cool if there is 1000 sandwiches in a row. I thought this was supposed to be 1 long one. Anybody can do this if they have a lot of sandwiches and no point

[Zwnkkvle]

Damn, they beat me to it.

Apparently you didn't see all the people waiting to eat the sandwiches or hear the commentator mentioning that after the measurement the people would be eating it.

LOL.
But really, the US would never invade IRAN. It is a much bigger country than Iraq and with a much more capable army. Not to mention that they control the Straights of Hormuz which sees 40% of the worlds oil passing through it daily.

Also, it would send Hezbollah and Syria into Israel and Iraqi Shia's would rise up in Iraq causing huge problems for the US. We don't even have enough manpower for Afghanistan, let alone Iran.

Hopefully our next president can find a peaceful and diplomatic solution.

I disagree...if we started a full scale war with them...they wouldn't last very long. Also, Israel can definitely hold their own.

We have the manpower for Afghanistan, it just was never used. There was maybe 40,000 there tops. Now I think there is about 10?

Please, don't fall into the trap of Hubris.

Obviously your not up on the latest news:

"More troops needed quickly in Afghanistan, general says"

The last thing we need is another useless war in the middle east.

You do realize the majority of troops are in Iraq? We reduced our troop levels severely in Afghanistan due to GB wanted to go to Iraq.

It still mentions nothing of full scale war or anything...it only mentions that one general wants to put more troops back in the area. The manpower is there, they just aren't sending it and your article pretty much says the same.

Well here is the the problem:

Iraq may have calmed down for the moment, but at anytime the Shia's can rise up and cause us huge issues. Just today, 10's of thousands of Shia's under the Mehdi army marched on Baghdad protesting the US occupation and referendums.

Worst of all, we now may have to go into talks with the Taliban because we cant win in Afghanistan.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...h-Taliban.html

Even Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith said that there must be a compromise with the Taliban. "The departing commander of British forces in Afghanistan says he believes the Taliban will never be defeated. "

Now, with the country of IRAN being situated between Iraq to the west and Afghanistan to the East our soldiers would be directly in harms way. You would have soldiers from IRAN flooding Iraq and Afghanistan. It would be a strategic nightmare for the US.

If it was the US vs IRAN alone it wouldn't be as big of an issue, But the US against the entire middle east would be a nightmare.
