I think if you attack before someone hurts you, then, suddenly, you are the bad guy. Why? Because people are prone to make mistakes about what will happen in the future. Our "intelligence" on Iraq should have proved that to most people.

You can, of course, choose to react before you have been attacked, but I don't think that's wise. That is not to say I don't believe in defensive measures, but I don't believe in "retaliation" for events that have not occurred yet.

I struck me as you thought the US was the problem and we should not be afraid of Iran. Saddam used what limited missiles he had, I don't see it as a stretch for Iran to use their missiles or continue to advance their technology and use it at a later date.

I don't think we should wait until attacked to respond.

I got no problems with putting up a big anti-missile defense shield to stop the Iranians from lobbing missiles across the Persian Gulf.
