Let’s get this out of the way first-Iran is a nutjob country with ridiculous leaders.
That said, I saw a map of American military installations in the region. It runs up and down both the Eastern and Western borders of Iran. Imagine if a country with which we had previously been at odds having military along the entire Canadian and Mexican borders of this country. That is the Iranian situation currently.
It is understandable they feel slightly anxious.
I was in that same thread yesterday...it was a good map driving the point home...
Who can blame the Iranian’s for reacting the way they are...Russians are reacting the same way as well in Eastern Europe.
That’s what that little spat between Putin and Bush was all about back at the Olympics...when the Georgia stuff blew up.

What really caught my attention with that map is the fact that Pakistan is not too far from Israel, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, etc....and they have nukes. Those are in a compromise position as we speak.
The entire world IMHO is running on “edge” right now. I think that is what Ron Paul is trying to get across to people. A kinda “cool our jets” message I guess...

I wonder why ronpaul never brings that up in his tearful pleading for understanding of poor wittle Iran?
They started a war then but we were in no way suppose to respond or consider them a threat.
They have been ranting for 30 years how they are going to kill us but that was only because we were going to build bases 20 years in the future. Apparently they have crystal balls.
History began before yesterday.
