All are valid points and real problems. Censoring sattelite imagery
from one source certainly doesn't help with any one of them, it only induces
a false sense of security. And we're now a very long way from mounting
an attack on those swastika-lodged seabees.

I fail to comprehend how outspoken animosity towards Iran from
another Head of State with strong backing from another set of
religious fundamentalists could have any positive effect at all
in that matter. Its akin to ... er, wait a minute, I was just about to
invoke Godwins law. Think I'm gonna get back from out to lunch
and start working, this list deserves better. Suppose the swastika
pattern has a bad influence on me, sorry 'bout that.
