On the Iran earthquake

Michael Demmons, Doc J, and Professor T have concurring opinions about the earthquake in Iran that has killed at least fifteen thousand people. It is more than understood that modernization holds the key to ensuring that a region that regularly has earthquakes would be a relatively safe place to live.

What I would like to know, and pardon my waxing cynical over this — and I do mourn for the dead in their country as I would had it happened here — is how long before the mullahs use this as an opportunity to issue such lunatic statements attributing the quake to Allah, as a sign of his displeasure that the Iranians have not done enough to ensure our destruction?

    I hope they do something that stupid. Their people are under no illusions about them. They just haven’t become angry enough yet.
    Faster please…

  • Or they’ll blame it on some new jewish earthquake ray.

  • Ozama Bin Laden says:

    Yes I agree

  • Darshan Parikh says:

    I doubt if they will do that. Everybody does that to some extent after such an unfortunate event. Even I did that when the Earthquake of 2001 in Gujarat hit and I was out of it. I see it was one way to releasing your distress, I know its not enough though.

    They probably would blame it on Allah, but I dought that they would think of it as a sign to fight us again.
