You wouldn’t have gone to war. That much is clear. So what would you have done?
Same thing Reagan did with our enemies - deter and contain.
Reagan didn't have an 09/11/2001 level event during his administration. This comment of yours doesn't address reailty.
What would your response have been to 09/11/2001? So far you seem to be indicating NOTHING.
While we weren’t attacking Iraq, it was the biggest counterweight to Iran.
Iraq hasn't been a counter-balance to Iran since the war they fought against each other. Iran has been moving military supplies through Iraq into Syria for decades. Syria has been the benefactor for it's own purposes, and those supplies also made their way to Hezbollah and other terrorist groups. One of my big beefs during the Iraq war, was our allowing Iran to train and arm the terrorists in Iraq. We should have put Iran on notice, and put and end to that.
After we attacked, it now has a gov’t that is Iran’s closest ally. 4000-plus Americans died to make that happen.
We also helped Russia during WWII. Shall we talk about how that turned out for decades? Thing don't always turn out pretty after our wars. That's the way it goes.
Somebody who can look at the disaster that was the Iraq war and say - as you apparently do - “let’s do it again, this time in Iran”, is definitely not on my wavelength!
Yep, well I'll just have to buch up under the weight of that reality. On the other hand, those who don't want to take the action to prevent Iran from having the bomb are not on my wavelength.
Interesting thing is, the fellow travelers of those who don't care if Iran gets the bomb.
The Left in the United States doesn't care. The U. N. doesn't really care. Russia doesn't seem to mind. China is okay with Iran getting the bomb.
Terrorist groups around the world can't wait for Iran to have the bomb. North Korea is on recording helping with Iran's missile tech. So is China.
When I responded by calling you Richard Gere, his policy is identical to yours.This is the old peacenik agenda all warmed over and presented with a daisy stuck in the barrel of our weapons.
You say you want to help our troops by not putting them in harms way. Any idea what our troops will face with a nuclear Iran?
You aren't doing our troops ANY favors here.
In the long run, you're contributing to them coming into harms way down the road.
