Quote[/b] ]<span style='color:red'>Consider a recent study by psychologists at Curtin University of Technology in Australia, who found that the level of “all or nothing” thinking predicted how well perfectionists navigated their lives. The researchers had 252 participants fill out questionnaires rating their level of agreement with 16 statements like “I think of myself as either in control or out of control” and “I either get on very well with people or not at all.”

The more strongly participants in the study thought in this either-or fashion, the more likely they were to display the kind of extreme perfectionism that can lead to mental health problems.</span>

The my road or the highway attitude seems to fall in this category too.

I always believed a clear vision is a tremendously good thing; the right side has this, they hold many truths to be self-evident and Godly. The most recent steadfast example is our Nation's holding the line in Iraq -- giving the Iraqi population time to right itself -- Iraq is rising as an educated and free Nation under our guidance. Now, Sunni and Shiah commoners alike are taking up policing duties to protect themselves from the murderous terrorists.

OTOH, the leftists live in obscurity. Nothing is sacred; everything is on the table, to include treason, treachery, graft, corruption, falsehoods, use our military's members as pawns for greater political power, etc. The lefty, liberal-socialists believe in nothing but the garnering of greater political power -- anything to drive their earthly desire for greater, corrupt power.

Well, here's today's perfect example.

Our president is a 100% &quot;my way or the highway&quot; guy. Either &quot;you're with us or you're against us&quot; I believe were his words.

So, one of our esteemed intelligence agencies issues a report saying &quot;...Hey - the Iranians gave up their bomb program 4 years ago...&quot;.

Today, our president got on T.V. and said that now we know for sure that the Iranians had a covert program to build the bomb, whereas we only speculated about it before, so this report actually supports his position that the Iranians are extremely dangerous, and we should blow them off the face of the Earth immediately.

Ok, I embellished that just a tiny little bit right at the end, but the rest of it was 100% Bush. A report that says you are a liar actually supports your position. That's proof of insanity, I think.

Isn't there a provision where the president can be replaced in the event of mental incapacity?

The White House said this:

&quot;We know that they're still trying to learn how to enrich uranium. We know that enriching uranium is an important step in a country whose desire it was to develop a weapon. We know they had a program. We know the program was halted,&quot; Bush said at a news conference at the White House briefing room.

&quot;I think it is very important for the international community to recognize the fact that if Iran were to develop the knowledge that they could transfer to a clandestine program, it would create a danger for the world,&quot; Bush said. &quot;And so I view this report as a warning signal. ... It's a warning signal because they could restart it.&quot;


Given Iranian desires, their recent hostile rhetoric, missile delivery systems and military build-up, we should all be concerned. This is especially the case when we have enriched uranium floating across international borders:

&quot;Half a kilogram of enriched uranium was confiscated by Slovak Police on November 30th. The three men arrested in this joint Hungarian-Slovak operation said that they were planning to sell the radioactive material for US$1 Million. The source of the uranium was, of course, Russia.&quot;

http://www.globalsecurity.org/securit....a02.htm (http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/library/news/2007/11/sec-071130-voa02.htm)

Does anyone really believe we, the Western Nations, are catching all of these deadly fissile materials as they're being spirited out of Russia? Get Real! Threats to Western Civilization have never been greater.

Ya'all continue to bury your heads in the sand. That's all you're good for...

May our vigilance, comprised of defensive and offensive endeavors, never be squelched by Liberals with no clue. Evil, in the form of terrorists, exists in this world to harm the innocent and create malaise.

As for Bush's real words about Iran, that was my thought as well. The report confirms that Iran has been trying to make nuclear weapons, something Iran has been denying all this time. Iran's President even praised the report and didn't deny the weapons program. So, who is the real liar here? Iran.

Given Iranian desires, their recent hostile rhetoric, missile delivery systems and military build-up, we should all be concerned. #This is especially the case when we have enriched uranium floating across international borders:

&quot;Half a kilogram of enriched uranium was confiscated by Slovak Police on November 30th. The three men arrested in this joint Hungarian-Slovak operation said that they were planning to sell the radioactive material for US$1 Million. The source of the uranium was, of course, Russia.&quot;

Does anyone really believe we, the Western Nations, are catching all of these deadly fissile materials as they're being spirited out of Russia? #Get Real! #Threats to Western Civilization have never been greater.

Ya'all continue to bury your heads in the sand. #That's all you're good for...

May our vigilance, comprised of defensive and offensive endeavors, never be squelched by Liberals with no clue. #Evil, in the form of terrorists, exists in this world to harm the innocent and create malaise.
Isn't that a long, drawn out way of saying that there are monsters under your bed?

Boo! #Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!
Open up your eyes people. #America's own land was attacked by foreigners who used jets as weapons. #These same people are actively seeking more powerful weapons to use. #Do you think they will use them when they get them? #It's only a matter of time. #
As for Bush's real words about Iran, that was my thought as well. #The report confirms that Iran has been trying to make nuclear weapons, something Iran has been denying all this time. # Iran's President even praised the report and didn't deny #the weapons program. #So, who is the real liar here? #Iran.
The report seems to say that they oince had a program that has apparently been halted. The report further goes on to say that there is apparently no data to show they are doing anything today. Thus as far as we know there is no active program.

The president said exactly what the report said. Then he added that seeking certain knowledge COULD meanthey want to start a program. he also stated then it is possible they could restart such a program.

I guess anything is possible. Any country could possibly do bad things. The question is, do you go to war over possibilities or probabilities or both ? Or do you simply continue to monitor the situation and gather intelligence which is apparently what has been done and which is probably a smart thing to do.
