I agree. It's the regime that are the extremists, not the people.
Bombing Iran would probably turn the Pro-American Iranians against us.
I think we're going to run this risk with a blockade of the Gulf, too. The average Iranian will feel the hardship, not the regime.
We need to finance and support regime change. The nukes aren't the problem, the people in charge are.
However, the "Arab" street or a united Islam are not neccesary to consider.
I love the Persian people, and most of them love us contrary to thier daily brainwashing.
We can't go into Iran right now but we CAN let Israel destroy thier nuclear facilities and then gather forces at home for retraining while Iraq stablilizes.
Our number one problem is not that we are "over-extended", it is that we have been too nice.
Iranian private groups are openly advertising on the streets to hire anti-American suicide bombers. The Mullahs are not stopping this. I say seal the border now, warn EVERYONE that border crossing is an act of war. If they cross the border, all crossers will be annihilated.
It's not as difficult as you think. The only thing lacking is WILL. As far as the fear of a United Islam being to much for us, LOL!
If they are as tough as they think they are, then maybe WE will stop treating them like lambs and unleash the full force of a no-holds barred military campaign againt them. There is a very REAL shadow war going on against the West. My point is that if they ever got the upper hand, we would go nuclear. If one portable terrorist nuke goes off in the US, we will go nuts. Oh, and I'm not worried we will lose. I'm worried we will wipe them off the face of the planet. They confuse America with the rest of the west. WE will NOT be conquered, EVER. They should worry about the American "Street". That's why they put out the propoganda messages to influence us. I'm influenced all right. Influenced to destroy them.
I find it amusing that you can't see the wider geo-political scene that is going on. For example, what do you think China thinks of our War On Terror?
BTW, don't you think we ARE financing regime change in Iran? Think behind the scenes. We are not going to tell the AP about it, LOL!
Arioch7 out!
