This is what I really despise about you chickenhawks, a completely ignorant understanding and twisting of history. Why don't you look at the reason, and not just the cause. That's probably far over your head though.

so your thinking is , we supported the shah in the 70s so now in 2012 Iran cuts off oil to Britain due to our support of the Shah.

Well the great thing about freedom you have the right to think in any direction you want

Well said.

Make no mistake about it. There are right wing Israelis in this forum that want US citizens to fear Iran, so they will go to war with Iran for Israeli interests.

What would the US have done if Iran had done this to us?

I agree that our foreign policy is not the greatest but I know of to much good that we have done to start pulling punches towards those who hate us. Many times I have thought.....maybe if we had flooded Iraq with medicine instead of bombs we would have made it better and saved thousands of lives...but I sit somewhere apart from the decision makers....but I do think that maybe would have been better. Am I glad Osama is dead? You bet. Could he have been guided through assistance from the US instead of subjugation the Saudi dissidents felt in the 50's? Maybe so....

But Iran is a whole nother' thang. Bullies with a big stick...OIL.

I get that you like the military and all, but maybe actually learning about other countries would be better in helping us deal with them, instead of simply placing them into one of two categories, good or evil.
