[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Highway Hoss: [qb] If our government had any sense, we would be establishing communications with the moderates over there and giving support to them. Such a policy would be more effective in dealing with radical governments than brute force. [/qb][/QUOTE]Hm.. what makes you think that we're not doing that, besides the fact that you won't find info about it on the commondreams website? Have you forgotten the events after the quake in Bam? And what makes you think that our support for Iranian moderates won't be (or even isn't already) portrayed as just more US meddling? I too, would like to see the Iranian people overthrow the hard-liners. But the result of that aid inevitably being traced back to US influence, well... I don't see how that'd breed any less Bin Ladens than any other events. Especially if, as you say, governments with close ties to the US are what enrages terrorists. [/QB][/QUOTE]
