Nice quote, but Iran has been the cause behind terrorism that has killed Americans from Teheran to Beirut to Baghdad for over 30 years. They are the nexus of Islamic terrorism.
They have meddled with us.
It is time they were paid back, especially for the IEDs and weapons that have taken the lives of hundreds of our servicemen in Iraq.
And that, George Washington would not only agree with, but he would act upon it.
Only because we have been meddling w/ them...whether it be putting The Shah into power back in the 50's or 60's, putting our military bases on what Muslims consider to be holy soil, having our Marines in Beirut, our involvement in Iraq (@ least twice that we know of), & who knows what else. Had we taken George Washington's advice decades ago, we wouldn't have had to deal w/ what we have now.
Actually, this is a legitimate point. Interfering in a lawful war makes one a belligerent nation. And, IMO, the acts of the Iranian state with regard to the Iraq war are considered acts of war against the United States. Furthermore, by any standard set forth, the assault on the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in the 1970s was an act of war, too.
