<< How ironic that Iran, the country that lost 200,000 lives from the war with Saddam, should oppose the U.S! >>

How ironic that a person with your education would not be able to understand that the government of Iran is a very repressive regime, that hates America.

When you first heard that Iran, just now, opposes America, was it a very big surprise to you? Did your mouth drop open? Did you gasp and say, "How can it be that Iran doesn't like America. I thought that Iran was always a friend and ally to America"?

<< Not one single neighboring country to Iraq approves of the Iraqi government, and yet the support for the U.S. comes only from Jordan and Turkey, and it is lukewarm at best. >>

You can't look blindly at the Middle East, as if all of the regimes are honest, democratic, freedom lovers. They are corrupt, depraved dictators. The backward, despised Arab nations hate anything that isn't Arab.

<< The U.S. is making a diplomatic blunder of major proportions by antagonizing the very support that it needs to eliminate Saddam. >>

I agree with you here. The Arab nations are so backward and stupid, that America can probably dup them into anything, if we really try.

<< The polls show most Americans support a military action against Iraq. The stock market also shows what most investors think of it. >>

You conveniently ignore the stock market bubble, which caused absurd valuations. Stock valuations are under many other pressures, besides the war.
