I hope so...diplomacy and trade are always better than suspicion and sabre rattling.

America would IMO be a much better country had we not stepped into any number of other countries and attempted to control their destinies and instead focused on controlling our own destiny.
Man, you're hurting a lot of feelings with this stuff. LOL

The Iranian people wouldn't thank us for helping to topple anyone in charge. It doesn't work that way. Haven't you people learned anything after Vietnam?

Fanatics like Hussein, Gaddafi, Mubarak, Assad? Never seems to work out well.

By the way Assad may have killed more of his people than the others combined, moral to the story is never trust a dentist.

Anytime we take out a leader there are unintended consequences, even if that is a possibility do we really need a civil war in Iran, is there not enough on the worlds plate. I noticed even Northern Ireland took a step back, we need less crazy in the world not more wars.

I understand we didn't treat Iran great in the past by employing a dictator that wanted nothing short of complete power over his people and we pulled the strings, therefore I can empathize with them on that, but that was the past. Once they took over our Embassy, then we shot down their plane, things changed dramatically for our relations.
