It'll be interesting to see if we deal with Iran in a hypocritical way or not.

hypocritical? As soon as Iran begins snubbing multiple UN resolutions over a period of 12 years, sure.

Not even

Even. World a safer place, WMDs, terrorism.

If you are going to spout the "UN is meaningless" line, don't fall back onto the broken resolutions and realise the real reason we went into Iraq - described prior to this sentence.

It might take a while but I think we will... in some ways, what we are doing in iraq IS dealing with iran... they, like syria, seem a lot more co operative these days.

Exactly. Base of operations. "We mean business" message. Brilliant strategy.

I think a lot of the people whining the most here see that too but simply are incapable of admitting they were wrong so focus on the errors made.

Not everything needs to be answered with invasion. Iraq was a hopeless situation to deal with. Saddam played too many games.

Iran and North Korea are different situations. With NK I fully believe the Chinese will deal with them and put the smack down on Kim. I don't think China wants nukes in their backyard held by a madman.

I think pressure in the Middle East will escalate, whether it leads to war with Iran I have no clue, but I think some of those countries might start thinking twice.

But hey, I'm just a silly American that wants to control the world, so what do I know.

its amazing the slobbering nonsense that a brainwashed person will spout to try and justify his programing.

How does moving north from Saudi Arabia to Iraq make a better base of operations?
How does invading Iraq make a clear message that invading Afganisitan doenst?

I hope you get to talk to a double amputee war vet in 10 years and tell him that his sacrifice was to make a secure base of operations and send a message.

Iran will have to get in line or be next in line. the good thing is, many Iranian terrorists are getting the snot kicked out of them in Fallujah. I read that over half of the dead terrorists there are Iranian.
