Who has been the biggest thorn in our sides since 1979? Who led the taking of our diplomats? None other than the President of Iran who now threatens the world with Islamofacist nuclear missles. Dude, this is geo-politics 101. If we stay singularly focused only in Afghanistan we're conrnered. But if we take out Saddam and are able to establish a non-sectarian or at least balanced government in Iraq we then have Iran surrounded. It's a global chess match. And Iran cannot use oil as a weapon against the developed countries,yes, including us. Besides, Afghanistan presents problems with Pakistan that, right now, are better left unaddressed.

Why play that kind of chess when we have smart bombs? We didn't need to be in Iraq to apply pressure to the Iranian government, or even to invade. Shoot, that jerkoff Hussein probably would have helped us invade Iran, quietly of course. He hated them. We're in a worse position to invade Iran. We're in a worse position to even just bluff them into into believing there is an imminent threat of invasion from us. We're too busy fighting in two other countries now. We've just emboldened them and all the other rogue nations. If this is what we are teaching in geo-politics 101 now maybe we need a new textbook.
