Time to close the border.

Let's do it here, too.

I'm glad we're protecting Iraq's borders.

How about America's?

They are without a doubt the epicenter of all of this Islamofascism.

Yep. And they're next on the list.

Take out the first 50 murdering Mullahs and their war toys, and the good Iranians will have Mullah heads on pikes all over Iran.

Now that sounds like a plan I could love!

Just clean out the hornets nest and let the people get a taste of freedom. Freedom is the elixer that the moulas and sheiks fear the most, that's the legacy I'd like to leave.

Plus, free societies will become wealthy and buy American goods and we could use a cheap oil supply, heh.

Give a few countries over there a taste of freedom and the others might just follow. It happened in Eastern Europe, once one or two countries got a taste, it turned into a domino effect.

"Give a few countries over there a taste of freedom and the others might just follow. It happened in Eastern Europe, once one or two countries got a taste, it turned into a domino effect."

This should be our greatest legacy, and our most earnest prayer. Once the gennie is out of the bottle even Islam won't be able to put the cork back.

"...liberate all of the middle east!"

After Iraq, then Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and maybe a small portion of eastern Iran should then be set aside for a Palistinian state.

And finally, we should make OPEC as irrelevant as the UN.

IMHO, Iran isn't that far from willing to turn into a democratic republic again. But they also aren't that far from launching a massive assault if they feel threatened.

I'd recommend focusing on Iraq,..Iran will come in due time and probably on its own.

That ball is in China's court; do they really want to have a city the size of Shanghai full of fallout?

Aren't the prevailing winds toward Japan

"President Bush long ago determined that the Iranians had the fortitude on their own..."

And it would be counter-productive at this stage of the game for the US to assist the Iranian opposition in too obvious a manner. Later, however...

But, don't forget, it's not about the oil. It's about democracy and liberation.

I like this Capitalist/Democratic "Domino Theory".

4 more years of Bush and what will the world be like?
There is no one who can stop us.

They are probably there to make sure Iran doesnt send some Jihadist revolutionarys into Basra to try and start up some kind of Islamic republic like Iran.

Had a buddy send me an e-mail today, suggesting that since we have probably stirred up the whole hornets nest of terrorists by invading Iraq, that we use it as a base to launch our all-out war on the regimes that support the terrorists. Let them all come and meet their maker in the sands.
