...not surprised someone with so little knowledge of anything related to iran or the middle east needed to resort to personal insults, kind of goes with the territory for liberals...

desertdetroiter and the rest of you warmongers - about 45 years ago some Vietnamese peasants trying to defend their villages killed, using Chinese Communist Weapons, at least 35 of my buddies and damn near me. By your logic we should have attacked Communist China. How do you think that would have worked out?

We have even less reason to attack Iran. That they threatened the Sunni Arabians or the Likkud in Israel is not good enough for me.

It is NOT time to attack Iran or any other country in the Middle East. It IS time to wash our hands of the entire region and let the religious fanatics and the oil industry thugs figure things out or start the Forever War. If that happens we can sell weapons to both sides and recover some of our losses.

Far from naive but tired of paying for war for the profit of the few at the cost to the many.

Okay, whenever you're ready to live like a peasant in SE Asia let us know.

As it sits you elected an antiwar president who is now in more countries than the previous war president and if you elected the pope next he would continue on the same path too. All the while preaching about democracy and human rights.

The alternative is giving up, laying down and becoming an Asian prostitute to earn your living. And it will be a miserable living at that with your average of 6 VDs.

Just because the government didn't deliver your fair share of oil to you after Iraq fell doesn't mean they didn't do it out of their own self interest.
all that money spent and we have NOTHING to show for it. iraq is still unstable, with corrupt leadership, and afghanistan is a quagmire. did we expect any different? look at the federal reserve-unwilling to account for the money that was stolen from the american people and "LOST".

AMERICANS SHOULD BE OUTRAGED.

and i suppose that is better than developing our own oil reserves?

what a waste of money and resources for america to go around the world to get what we have at home.

i see obama is trying to destroy coal production in this country also.

we can be a 3rd world country at the rate we are going, even with fighting all the wars everywhere.

Yes but at least we'll still be making our own destiny.

The alternative is having to share and play nice with all the countries we've tried to overthrow numerous times.

China hasn't forgotten about Operation Tropic.
