IMHO, the Mullahs are completely nuts. But also, our sanctions & threats are driving Iranians further into a paranoiac religious fervor that says if they are going down, they are going to use what they have to take down everything & everyone they can with them. It would make sense that Iran would try and disrupt the world oil supply -- which would hit us the hardest --in order to strike back at us.

We are putting Iran in a no-win scenario -- essentially poking sticks at a cornered and crazy dog, then acting shocked at the dog's response and using that response for more stick-poking. All he is saying is, "Quit poking sticks at them".

There may come a time when we have to do something about Iran, but the first thing we should do is to stop exacerbating the problem -- unless we are prepared for the result of $5 a gallon gasoline on this flagging economy and another war that we can't afford right now, and probable Iranian terrorism here in the US.

Ron Paul's is completely rational thinking on this. Nothing crazy here.

Finally, a Ron Paul / Iran apologist who actually thinks she makes sense.

Amen

We are pulling out of Iraq, and slowly out of Afghanistan. And it is the insurgencies that Iran supports, which have kept us there so long.
Turkey is not our friend these days and have not been since 2003. Until the recent revolt in Syria, Turkey was moving closer to Iran. So your map is BS. And Iran's nuclear program precedes all of this.

Because Iran was such a sweetie back in 1979, gentle, peaceful and totally rational before we had all those bases in the region.

Perhaps he could pull the other one, it has bells on it.

So maybe we should have given Japan the oil so they wouldn’t have bomb Pearl Harbor?? Just using your logic..
