[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"I don't see how that'd breed any less Bin Ladens than any other events."</blockquote> Well, first of all, it's "fewer", my dear English major. I hate when people confuse "fewer" and "less". Now, to the point. "Interference" in Iran may indeed piss off terrorists. (Honestly, I don't know what bin Laden thinks of Iran. On one hand, it's a Muslim government, which he likes. On the other hand, it's Shi'a, which I believe he doesn't like.) But no-one said we should refrain from doing every single thing that might irritate some extremist somewhere. We shouldn't just sever all ties and start pretending the Mid-East doesn't exist. But we should start going about things the right way. Invasions, sanctions that only hurt the regular people, calling countries "evil", and unquestioning support of Israel in everything are not the right way. We need to be diplomatic. And if that still makes a few wackos want us all dead, fine. There'd be no pleasing them, anyway. But at least we'd know we didn't deserve it in any way. [/QB][/QUOTE]
