I think you know the answers to your own questions, but here's my opinion on what you asked:

1. Politically it is impossible right now to do to Iran what needs to be done. Just look to your left, and thank them for stopping us in the WOT. Better to finish what we started in Iraq completely and then move to Iran.

2. State hasn't actually accomplished anything at all since its' inception. It's called Foggy Bottom for a reason.

3. Lastly, about Iran again - the administration is doing many things in international circles in an attempt to avoid the huge loss of civilians that a military response would entail. Preferably, we'd just arm the students and let them take care of the mullahs. The pressure being used right now on Iran is through the UN. (Like they are effective?)

4. Those training camps are inside Iran, making them a less than easy set of targets to hit. See #1 above.

Your points are well stated and sensible.....it's frustration you hear in my questions. I'm tired of our military getting killed by this vermin - I just want to smash something thoroughly and a training camp sounds like a good start --- wherever it may be.

Good points on Iran and State. In the final analysis, one would have to say the engagement has been the only constant. Iran, since its takeover by French interests, has posed a constant threat to American interests. I personally think the USA should bankrupt France and then finish putting the political screws to Iran, and then the French as well. This would have positive effects in both the Middle East and Europe.
