That's total BS. Iran has never attacked the US. You people are trying to invent a self-destructive needless war because you've all gone insane. We The People will stop you. You're really becoming war criminals. Bush has no authority to expand a war into Iran or anywhere else. If he tries, he will be stopped. The funds will be cut off. Only about 12% of the American people support Bush expanding the war, and those people are all ignorant morons who don't listen to the military experts. PS: There has always been some degree ofn terrorism against western imperialist nations in third world countries. That's been going on for hundreds of years. In fact the early christians were "terrorists" against the Romans. It probably goes back even before that. The real terrorists are in Afghanistan and Bush is now withdrawinmg US troops from that country. Iran has not sponsored a single terrorist attack against the US. They are not innovent and are a thorny problem to deal with, but Bushies have only made that problem worse, much worse. The current Presdient of Iran was elected because of Bush. Without Bush, Iran gradually moderates again. Bush is the problem. He has gone insane listenhing to a bunch of lying ideologue chickenhawks, not a single one of whom personallym knows anything about war.

This article (linked below) lays out the major players and some of the strategies and consequences to be imposed on our 20,000 "surge" troops as they try to take control of Baghdad. We can't count on the Iraqi army troops maintaining their allegiance to a unified Iraq. Our troops will be caught in between the Shiite/Sunni civil war and the fickle allegiances of those supposedly working with us. Bottom line, we invaded Iraq but Iran will win the war. But, Iran does not want its Shiite allies to win too quickly or too decisively as to do so will bring in a lot of sympathetic support for the Sunnis, so they will maintain us in a quagmire for as long as possible while killing Sunnis and doing ethnic cleansing of Baghdad and other cities to the point the Sunnis are quite isolated. When will the revenge killing stop? When will the Sunnis capitulate? When will the Shiites agree they have done enough and now control the country? To what degree will the Kurds go along with the Shiites? You can see that our main problem lies with Iran. Can we get them and their thousands of sympathizers in Iraq to go home and mind their own business? What should we do? observer.guardian.co.uk I think our "surge" only prolongs the inevitable. We should redeploy to Kurdistan, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (or whoever will have us for a period of time) and leave and let the Shiites and Sunnis have their civil war. Then, at a strategic point come back in and pick up the pieces. What do you think?
