Apparently, only 7% of our oil imports come from the Middle East. Most comes from Mexico and Canada. So what does that have to do with Iran? The main import we have had from Iran since their revolution has been Iranian refugees. As I see it, there have been massive migration away from bad regimes in the Middle East. 3.5 million have gone back to Afghanistan since we removed the Taliban. Soon, Iraqis will be able to go home. If we don't help 3rd world countries improve, they will move in with us.

I think the U.S. needs to become more active in its support of Iranian pro-democracy forces--or at this point, anyone who is against the mullahs including the Kurdish minority. Supply them with money, propaganda support like broadcasting stations, arms and military training and mercenaries. Do everything the regime is doing to the U.S. in Iraq. Create chaos inside Iran and they won't have as much time for mischief against the rest of the world.

Fricking liberals like Friedman can't get away from their left wing agendas. He should have stopped after about the first 7 paragraphs.

Merry Christmas and thanks for all of your great threads re the Iranian situation.
