As you are aware, there is a low level shooting war going on between iran and the U.S. in Iraq. The a-thing would also feel emboldened. He backed down the U.S. They ran from iran. It would strengthen him and his standing with the clerics immeasurably.
Your problem’s right there. You’re not thinking with your brains about the issue. You’re responding emotionally and that’s exactly what Bush and his “WMDs” and “mushroom clouds” wants you to do.
Out-of-proportion nationalism and patriotism can be very dangerous. In fact, used properly those concepts can be abused in the same way a religion is. Case in point; all that flag waving that got you numb enough to swallow the “Iraq-is-a-threat” speech.
Should I be the one teaching you about sticks and stones…?
Fuck Ben Laden. He may “claim” victory in Iraq, but why should you care? Terrorists that attack you are not camel riders waving swords in the name of Allah. They’re college graduates and have no need for a country to regroup or train in. Making a bomb is not that hard for anyone with a good chemistry background and a working internet connection.
And now I realize that by the “a-thing” you mean Ahmadinejad not Al-Qaeda. No matter…
Fuck Iran. Ahmadinejad is gone is two years time anyway. Iran will never invade Iraq for fear of international reprisals. They’re already taking enough heat as is. If they get to have friends in Baghdad so be it. You put Iraq is in Iran’s sphere of influence by removing Saddam, now live with it. Nothing you can do – short of installing a dictator – will change that.
You realize that your country is very strained by this war, and it’s not getting much better despite the surge. Protect your borders instead of torturing your troops and alienating the Iraqis even further.
I have to admit, lixy, I consider you a guilty pleasure. Most malignant people I completely ignore (vroom (sp?), pookie, jtf, limbic, etc.) You are a pus pimple, yet, I cannot stop myself from responding to you.
I try to get over you. However, I’m addicted.

lixy,
Quick question: Are the suicide bombers mainly college graduates?
Who do the “college graduates” (what a horrible thing to say about colleges) recruit?
Who would be more likely to be influenced by an al qaeda/iran win?
Thanks in advance,
JeffR
