Iranian terrorists? Iran had nothing to do with 9-11. The terrorists who attacked us are still at large five years after 9-11 and Bush has no interest in catching them.

Iran wanted to make peace with us in 2001 and elected moderate pro-western leaders. Shut the hell up about Iranian terrorists. That's just scare tactics adding fuel to a fire we can't afford to burn. There is no evidence whatsoever that Iran has ever attacked us, with terrorists or without. And the biggest troublemaker in Iran is the guy Bush got elected. Without Bush Iran would keep electing moderates. But Bush doesn't want peace, he wants war and wants more oil for Halliburton and Exxon.

The radicals in Iran can get thrown out now by the Iranian people. We just have to keep supporting the moderates in that country and give them reason to trust us again. But not if we keep threatening Iran. That just makes the Iranians support the radicals more. Besides, we have no military option against Iran beyond dropping a few bombs which could prove to be totally counter-productive.

Use some common sense once in awhile, would you? The results of Bush's neocon strategy backfire every time because he just creates more enemies.
