True enough. But can a nation stand pat when their opponent who is not a state but a terrorist organizaion sits on its border with 12k katushas, plus anti-ship missiles, along with the ability to import more and more of these and others from iran thru syria every day. Add to that the coming of nuclear iran and their apparent readiness to share advance weapons systems with terror groups.
I thought the fact that Iranian reps were at the NK missile tests was very telling. There is an axis of evil but iraq wasnt part of it. You guys were right on that one as an axis implies a working arrangement that apparently NK, Iran, Syria and Hizbollah have OR al Quaeda and the Taliban had. The fact that we screwed up in iraq however presents us with an american iraq syndrome that iran is counting on to protect itself. I think you might agree with that.
