[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] First off, I'm completely against any hostile action against Iran under the current circumstances. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: 1) We tried in 1979. Carter authorized it. Carter was a Democrat, & it failed horribly & miserably. Therefore, the Chosen of God (e.g., the Republican war machine) won't try to go where the opposition has fucked up before.[/QUOTE]As you yourself said, that '79 thing was only for a hostage rescue, not a full-out anti-government operation. Unfortunately, people like Rumsfeld are probably thinking that their Mighty Republican Power is unstoppable. I wouldn't be surprised if they thought that it was a good idea to try the direct and undiplomatic route again... [QUOTE]2) Iranians are not Arabs. Iranians are Persians. It's an entirely different mindset. They don't even speak Arabic; they speak Farsi, & there's only one Catherine Bell to go around. Sadly.[/QUOTE]Yes, great shame. Despite my lack of confidence in the current administration, I assume that they're smart enough to realize the differences between Arabs and Iranians.... However, I'm pretty sure that Rumsfeld and the rest don't care at all. After the "wonderful" results from Iraq, they're probably getting awfully cocky, ready to conquer the rest of the world... The sad thing is, I don't think there's any need to make changes in the current policy towards Iran at all... granted, reforms have been going forward slowly, but they *are* going forward. After seeing not one but TWO nations on their borders getting the full brunt of American firepower, I find it very hard to believe that they're still harboring al Qaeda. After all, we've figured that bin Laden himself is probably hiding out somewhere in western Pakistan... and Pakistan's hardly been the paragon of democracy in recent years. Hell, it's a goddamn military dictatorship right now! I haven't heard anyone seriously discussing any invasion of Pakistan. Have you? [/QB][/QUOTE]
