TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's president on Tuesday dismissed a year-end deadline set by the Obama administration and the West for Tehran to accept a U.N.-drafted deal to swap enriched uranium for nuclear fuel, and claimed his government is now "10 times stronger" than a year ago.
The OP has this neocon fantasy that we are the World's dictator.
4000 dead soldiers and 1 Trillion Dollars squandered in Iraq and they STILL want to start wars and try push other nations around.
Well, shall we start with a few facts to set you on the right course?
1) In October 2008, candidate Barack Obama said: "If we can prevent them from importing the gasoline that they need and the refined petroleum products, that starts changing the cost-benefit analysis" of pursuing a nuclear agenda.
2) On December 15th, the House passed the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act by a mind-numbing 412-12 show of bipartisan support
3) The Democratic controlled Congress proclaimed in the aforementioned Act that "Iran is not interested in a diplomatic resolution."
4) Barack Obama has curiously refused to say whether he would sign the act after it passes the Senate. (Most Presidents know that the mere threat of signing such legislation would be leverage - but not Barack Obama - he's too inexperienced to understand such logic)
Therefore, we can conclude three things:
1) There is overwhelming bipartisan support for cracking down on nuclear-ambitious Iran
2) Barrack Obama does not have the testicular fortitude to defeat Iran's nuclear program (Candidate rhetoric is beat by real-life current events once again)
3) Iran is laughing in Barack Obama's face
So, are you still sure that it's a neocon wet dream to punish Iran? The Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act and it's overwhelmingly Democratic supporters disagree with you.

who is they? who is starting the wars now?
we also have this news today:
Hugo Chavez orders military to shoot at US aircraft
President Hugo Chavez has accused the US of violating Venezuela's airspace with an unmanned spy plane, and ordered his military to shoot down any such aircraft in the future.
as the elite in power lose their grip on financial control, with no real economic recovery in sight, we can expect to see escalation of aggression in different countries with enough "tough talk" for everyone.

Which war has Barack Obama started? What he's mainly trying to do is clean up the mess the last guys got us into.

Hugo Chavez is a tinpot dictator who's been trolling out this kind of faux-sabre rattling for a while now...so who knows how accurate his claim is. But on the other hand--if we were sending unmanned spyplanes over Venezuelan airspace, wouldn't Venezuala as a sovereign nation have the right to shoot them down? If it was a Venezuelan spyplane over Colombia, they'd be all over the incident...
