“They are acting Logically and Defensively.”
This conclusion is a product of his inductive reasoning. To get here, RP must believe Iran is convinced the US will attack them.
To wit, RP made this analogy. If Russia invaded Mexico, and were positioning themselves along our border, would it be reasonable for the US to take a defensive stance? IOWs, does Iran not have the same right?
Indeed they do. But when Iran threatens to wipe Israel off the map, what’s that got to do with their borders and our presence in Iraq? Some might argue it’s a defensive threat. Ok, right now we can’t reach you, but we can reach Israel. Don’t mess with us.
Course, when they can reach us with their nukes, I figure they will try.
This is a difficult situation. Success nor failure in Iraq is not the end all or begin all. Success in Iraq will not end terrorism. The root of terrorism lies in SA. It’s branches are spread around the globe. And yea, right here in the good ole USA. Bin Laden in his latest alleged video gave us he biggest clue yet. He said, “follow the money.” Well I did. The money and the terrorism flows from SA.
MY question to you jrooney, and anyone so willing to answer, why is the US govt ignoring the complicity of SA in 911 and worldwide terrorism? Then I have a follow up question.
