Bomb Iceland instead of Iran

Written by Uwe Reinhardt, Columnist
Published: Monday, April 9th, 2007

The conservative press, and reportedly the White House, are chomping at the bit to bomb Iran. A much better idea would be to bomb Iceland instead, in a "shock and awe" spectacular that could be staged as a win-win-win deal ...

    Are you sick or what? Iceland is a peaceful nation. The police don't even use guns. It is a neutral country.
    You must be on drugs...do something with you life instead of making insane remarks.

    Hi

    Well it looks like you aint that good in enviromental problems. If you keep building up other country's you will natrually fall yourself. You guys are actually on a free fall state in the economy. And america is bringin the world down with it. Soon the dollar will be nothing more then paper bills and iron coins with no worth. As the money was in germany 1936-43. And remember who helped finance the wars. Attackin Iceland is an attack on Europe. You just simply are a nutcase.

    Your stupidity is hilarious! Bomb Iceland? And what will that do? Its not the whole nations fault that people aren't getting their money! It's the idiots that rule the banks fault! The situation is very heartbreaking for us Icelanders, we don't war with anyone! Our country is under control of some really stupid man!

    One real good reason to bomb iceland: the iceland government is now refusing to comply to their financial obligations with regards to Icesave / Landsbanki. First Iceland harvests billions from the Netherlands and the UK via saving accounts, then Iceland (not just the bank) refuses to pay back.

    I hope this article doesn't give Gordon Brown ideas! At Iceland's request, British jet fighters regularly patrol Iceland's borders (mainly because Russian military planes enjoy buzzing Iceland). However, these same British jets could potentially take out terrorist training camps, such as branches of Landsbanki...

    obviously bombing Iceland would do a lot of good for the humanity:
    first- all nations would know that one cannot escape after stealing the money from the wrath of bomber jets.
    second- that would give a sense of satisfaction to the nations abused by Iceland (britain, netherlands, germany and their savers)
    third- Iceland could claim that it was punished enough and could forget its debts
    fourth- Icelanders would wake up that they are not alone in the world and long tentacles of justice (and bomber jets) can reach them
    fifth- all of the things mentioned in the article (bombing would make everybody happy)
    sixth- a few hundred Icelanders would die, but it would make millions of Brits, Americans, Germans and others happy. it would make much more people happy than unhappy - therefore it is good.
    seventh- it would be good for promotion of Iceland as a place of extreme tourism
    eighth- nobody knows about Iceland
    ninth- who cares about Iceland
    tenth- Icelanders like wars. all their history is full of fighting- vikings killing each other and raiding other lands. they were the first ones to invade America. and recently they tried to provoke Britain in so called "cod wars".
    therefore Iceland has to be shown what real life is and what war means. I think no reasonable person would argue with statements above.
