IMHO - Terrorism is a criminal act and should be treated as one. I do not know of any country in the world where premeditated murder is legal. Even if it is used by tyrants it is still not legal. This includes breaking into a guy's house, shooting him and dropping the body into the ocean. That is murder, not war.
Obviously you don't have a clue about the enemy. They aren't traffic violators as much as you want them to be.

The last time I checked, Republicans were in control when we went into Iraq. It seems sort of stupid that people would be forgetting that. We might have jumped the line, but shouldn't you be blaming your precious partisan buddies? Should the Republican party ever come to a sudden stop, your head would go clean up their backside.

Brother! Preach it on the mountain high!

Venezuela is a good one! Chavez has Uranium Mines in the northern part of his country ... you know - the stuff that makes those Nukes real bad.

but don't worry - you are helping support it with every gallon of CITGO gas you buy!

CITGO is part of the Chavez Industrial System just like the Uranium Mines

So we see what happens when playing nice with terrorists

You seem to forget that NOT playing nice brought probably the Worse attack on American soil EVER!
To ANYONE who thinks that the strategies of the past WORK...... GO VISIT ground Zero and read the names of the innocent victims killed because of failed past Govt. involvements.
Good for President Obama who is actually thinking about EVERY possible option and NOT just how to "shoot em up" in the middle East.

How I wish Iran could evolve into a thriving parliamentary democracy with a popular and validly elected prime minister. Oh wait they had one and the USA overthrew it.

I for one am NOT shocked about Iran's behavior. I don't know how you can make a blanket statement like that. It is inherently untrue.
Obama has been courting Iran the minute he stepped into office - you remember don't you? Unclenching the closed fist?

He sat silent as Iran murdered protesters in the streets, as Iran provided weapons and support to the Taliban and terrorists in Iraq, as they directly and indirectly have fought our soldiers and killed them......and still, he sits on his hands, sues for a "dialog" and hopes they will back off. Instead, Iran is hip deep in the radical in Egypt and Libya.

Usually, when a bully smells weakness and doubt, the bully gets even more aggressive - this is what we've seen with Iran and obama's joke of a foreign policy.

Maybe you should ask OBL how nice the President has been, oh wait you can't, the President off'ed his arse. OK, ask OBLs righthand men, oh wait, same problem. Maybe you could ask the US Citizen turned Terrorist about how nice the President is, oh wait he is also dead, something many righties whined about. One second the right whines we are in too many wars and the next they whine we are not in enough, jeeez I really wish you people would make up your minds

Ah yes it's our fault Iran is plotting to attack in the US and that they are arming insurgents. I forgot the battle cry of the left.
