A free Iran is not a danger to any one and it will also make Mideast safer.

It's more and more clear that ONE of the objectives in taking Iraq was to establish a forward power-projection base in the ME to replace Saudi.

But now we have the rather challenging problem of establishing some sort of Gummint in Iraq.

Your line of reasoning leads one to ask: does Soros have financial interests in the CURRENT Iranian gummint?

'Tis true. But then again, some things are still worth doing, even if they aren't cheap and easy.

"Your line of reasoning leads one to ask: does Soros have financial interests in the CURRENT Iranian gummint?"

Any country that hates America and wants to destroy us or hurt us, probably has some sort of financial interests with George $oreA$$.

He is probably the reason that the Mass Murdering Mullahs went from the $ to the Euro for payment of their oil last year.

One further wonders whether Soros is speculating in oil futures. There is simply NO supply problem, albeit there is a refinery-capacity problem....

"and also friendly bases in Russia in the north. "

Russia is friends with the current regime in Iran. Russia would not allow attacks to occur from their soil targeting Iran.

"I disagree just because you forgot that most Iranians are Pro-America and the people there are opposing the regime too!"

And so it appeared that was the way the Iraqi's were prior to us invading. Except for the Kurds the rest of Iraq is not actively supporting us.

By "anybody" I wasn't referring to the posters' comments (there are people who post at this site who say they'd like us to "nuke" just about everybody) but to what I read to be the strategic plan of the folks in charge.

I agree that invading Iran would not only be far too expensive in blood and money, but stupid as well. For geographic reasons if for no other, the most natural alliance in the Middle East region (other than the USA and Israel and you'll find plenty who'd disagree with that as well) would be one between the United States and a Free Iran. A lot of (maybe a majority) of Iranians know this.

There never has been a shortage of oil, just too much power in a cartel called OPEC.

Also, the Watermelon Jihadists of America and their members in Congress have been outsourcing our oil supply for two decades. I wonder who has been financing them?

We have to address the lack on new refineries in America. I think that it has been two decades since a new refinery was built.

You are dead wrong. The Iranian hate us more than the Arabs. They have pounded that hate in them non-stop for several decades now. The Iranian government is buying time while building their nuclear bomb. They are playing good cop bad cop with us. They say their "moderate" leaders want to friend with the US, yet the real power is in the hand of the majority the radical hateful clerics.

You have NO idea what you're talking about, or just bored and looking for an arguement.

There are a few thousands good and peaceful Iranians; guess what they live in LA.
