Iran didn't feel BAD for us...they were scared sh#tless of us.

They saw how we went into Afghanistan and cleaned out the Taliban in 6 weeks.

They had some "mutual interests" with us and they had reason to FEAR us.

We had ALL the trump cards at that time. If we had opened serious diplomatic discussions with them we could have possibly changed the entire Middle East.

BUT...we had the idiot Bush and Cheney in charge and they weren't interested in diplomacy. THEY just wanted to "crush" everybody and show how tough we were.

Well...they ended up showing how "vulnerable" we are rather than how tough. They've empowered Iran and N. Korea and every country on the Security Council at the UN.
