You are a fool who dreams of World War III but also a coward because you refuse to enlist or send your son to join the insane fight.

What are we really fighting over anyway? Neither Iraq nor Iran ever attacked us. We're stuck in the middle of a 2500 year old civil war grudge now between Islamic factions, also arguing over oil rights. Of course Iran is up in arms after Bush called them "evil" and invaded their neighbor. Also, Bush has totally devastated our Army and MArine in Iraq. All we have to spare are bombs and bombs don't win wars. Also, if Bush declared war against Iraq itn would be like Nixon and Cambodia in 1970. same exact thing, trying to expand the war instead of ending it, as should have been done then and must be done now.

Iran may be up to no good, but they were relatively harmless to us before Bush-Cheney came into power. In fact, hypocrisy reigns as Cheney illegally did business with Iran during the 90's, and the Reagan bunch armed them.

In 2000 the word was Iran was moderating and willing to start re-joining the family of nations. They still had a problem with Israel but otherwise they were willing to start cooperating. But Bushies didn't want them to be friends, only enemies. Why?

It is perhaps their dream of oilfields from Iraq to Asia Minor. It is a huge dream of Dick Cheney's and Exxon's. And Iran is in the way.
