‘Buchanan nails it. Iran is a Third World backwater, not a grave threat to the United States.’

Be sure to tell that to the parents of dead US soldiers, courtesy of Iran manufactured IED’s.

Those who pushed for war against Iraq certainly didn't tell us our boys would be coming home in body bags four years later. These are the same people pushing for war against Iran. We should consider how well their prior predictions worked out in evaluating what they are now telling us about Iran.

Don't blame Ahmadinejad for something that should be laid squarely at the feet of this administration. Iran became a far more potent threat to the region AFTER the U.S. invasion of Iraq than it ever was before.

For the life of me, I still can't understand why the U.S. would go out and topple a largely secular Ba'athist government in Iraq and replace it with a Shi'ite government whose relations with Iran would be far more amicable than Saddam Hussein's had been. Heck -- Ahmadinejad couldn't have done any better for Iran if he were sitting in the White House himself.
