Fu-k me. That sociopath would do it too.

Some people just don't learn from their mistakes.

It's widely acknowledged that going into Iraq was a huge mistake. So what should we do next??? Let's hit up next door! We'll have better luck there.

Gotta wonder how long till it's North Korea's turn.

The Bush / neo-con clique is having so much trouble at home they likely feel they need to unleash some MAJOR distractions Twisted Evil

Desperate times.

Oh, lookee, lookee, all the leftist alarmists are coming out of the woodwork again. Nothing but terminal termite tripe.

NEWSFLASH:

The U.S. has always maintained a naval presence in the Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz is of major strategic concern and always has been. War games are a common occurrence, and all the major military powers engage in them regardless of international conflicts that coincide with them.

That said, assuring a strong presence in the region is a matter of national security, which is frankly none of your business if you're a non-American unless something actually happens.

Oh, I know, you'll say we make it our business because we don't want to see another war. Fine and dandy; let's hear your gripes against the Iranians for provoking the situation by ADMITTEDLY sending advisors and arms into Iraq and seizing British sailors. Until you do, your clarion call rings hollow as a bellyache.

Wow, let's take the RUSSIANS at their word. Whatever Putin says is the truth eh? I man Russia couldnt seriously have it in for the US, could they? Thratening Poland and the Czechs with missiles because they want to cooperate with Washington and launching into anti-US tirades..well, that didnt really mean anything.

why be so mean about it?

Thanks for letting me know there's nothing to worry about. You're right, Bush would NEVER do a thing like that. I'll just go put my head back in the sand.

Three things:

1. 'leftist alarmist'--- by that you mean we're the ones saying terrorist are everywhere behind every corner and we need to scorch earth them or they'll get us here? Or maybe you mean we're the ones saying we need torture, suspend rights and pass laws with extraordinary measures???

2. Yes, it does matter to the rest of us what actions the US take. for many major and minor countries there is a disproportionate volume of trade with the US, without the US to sell to or buy from economic havoc could result. So when the US might be taking up another disastrous war, that could lead to the collapse of the US economy, then, yes, it is the world's business. And all that is ignoring all the security concerns and turmoil in what might be called the major strategic region of the world. Oil prices through the roof, an unstable and perhaps dramatically reduced supply of oil. I could go on for a LONG time. The point is, that American actions, especially military ones, have a GLOBAL impact. That's why, despite what the yanks on this board say, every person on this planet has the right to criticize American government policy/actions.

3. Putin, last I checked, didn't lie about WMDs, firing of attorney generals,... again, the list could go on and on. Do I trust him, no, but to call into question his credentials for veracity when talking about the Bush admin is problematic.

Chucky, perhaps the US should win a conflict first before it goes and starts another, I know thats crazy talk, but its a thought.

exactly.

for the record, I'm not leftist, and I don't necessarily oppose military action in Iran.

However, if we do, we need to do it right. We need to wake up to the fact that we are fighting a proxy war against many countries, "religious" organizations, etc and go after ALL of them. That's the only way we will win sheyat.

Attacking Iran will result in the same mess we currently have in Iraq, just on a bigger scale. Who are we fighting again, the insurgents?? Where are they from, Insurgia??

The Russians are an interested party. They have scientists at Bushehr.

Psyops. Not particularly effective unless the US was actually considering a strike.
