interesting review, i doubt even with facts you could get democrat support to bomb Iran. It appears congress is more concerned about politics than welfare of country. reid stopping illegal immigration bill in senate is a great example of doing what is right for the country. second where is the rest of the world on Iran issue? Hopefully , we are still working on perfecting a star wars system.

But, if you were an Iranian “moderate” and you’d watched the West’s reaction to the embassy seizure and the Rushdie murders and Hezbollah terrorism, wouldn’t you be thinking along those lines? ......<<< >>>Whether or not we end the nuclearization of the Islamic Republic will be an act that defines our time.<<< >/b>
