I totally agree with your support for the US mission in Iraq to support the new government. Who knows what they will say about us in 3 or 5 years once we are gone? I hope they don't turn into a Persian puppet of the new Iranian regime, which is opposed to Israel and the US. I hope that the government maintains a good balance with the Sunni governments around them to balance the Shiite influence in Tehran which continues to be such a pain in the ass. Going back a ways, you corrected several points about Iran's support for Sunni Hamas and Sunni Palestinians. Iran's intention is so totally transparent as a state sponsored agent of terrorism, along with Syria. Why else would a Shiite state give support to a Sunni terrorist network that encourages death to all Shiites as apostates and second class Muslims? Iran's own President comes out and makes public cries for the elimination of Zionist influence through the destruction of Israel and the US. I find it rather shocking that Iran's Shiite Persians put their own glory above all other Muslim Shiites in order to support the backbone of Sunni Salafi terrorists that condemn their own religion. I think the only way we are going to pull out of this hole is to expose Muslim cultures for the intolerant traditions they practice. They are masters of deception and identity in so many ways to escape justice. We have to drag these countires into the 21 st century one by one to establish a level playing field. We certainly can't give Iran the luxury of nuclear weapons as long as they live in a psychotic universe of self determination against their enemies. I think they find their history of butchery and intolerance have kept out Western influence so they don't have to compete for their own resources. They are living in the Dark Ages because they like it that way. They have used religion as a way of beating away all progress from their society so they can live like a bunch of medieval barbarians. The only thing we have to do in Iraq is make sure the government stays in place. That is a long term victory for this country. I hope we can keep reducing our troops long term as the Iraqi government builds it's own security force to offset our reduction. We need them there to keep Iran from walking all over the ME. The President's comments in Iran probably did more to preserve our military presence in Iraq than any other event since the war started. I don't even think the Sunnis would want us out of there at this point.
