From Sinsear-
Coupla problems there... first off, suicide attacks are characteristic of Sunni radicals, not Shia, the Iranians being the latter... That is who we're talking about, right?
This whole thing with the Iranians is just another case of trumped-up pre-emptive war, and we know how justified that was the last time, and how well it's working out...
The part of it all that leaves me scratching my head is just how gullible and well indoctrinated some people must be to believe the Bushistas, at all, particularly wrt the mideast and the Iranians. They miss the Shah- he was their pal, their puppet, and his secret police, SAVAK, was a model of the "efficiency" they love so much- so effective, in fact, that the only organized political entity capable of running Iran when that regime fell was the Iranian equivalent of the religious right, the mullahs...
But, of course, wingnuts firmly believe that problems with Iran began with the occupation of the US embassy almost 30 years ago, when they're much older, dating back to our installation of the Shah in 1953... and our unflinching support of his brand of repression and brutality in the interim...
There's nothing wrong with Iran that bombing them won't just make worse, given that much of the reason that Iran's hardliners are still in control is that they're being propped up by hostile outside rhetoric, mostly from the Bush Clan and the Israelis. Iran has her own patriots and threatening their govt just strengthens their resolve, brings their blood up...
And I think it's important to remember that starting a war is easy, but that finishing one is another matter entirely, something that our short-sighted neocon friends apparently haven't considered...
