This is the same logic that is losing in Iraq. Don't we ever learn! In WWII, many innocents died because of their leaders; and in Iran, they elected this animal. We need to not worry about those very civilians that empowered this animal and worry about the rest of us who love peace and a world free of a nuclear Iran.
What makes you think Iraq is being lost? Are you basing your opinion on what you see in the news or what a few pundits happen to say?
Iraq may continue to be volatile and even violent for many years, but they've tasted that freedom that comes with self-determination, and I don't think they're going to forget that.
