Provoking Iran into war

Actually, I have talked to some Iraqis. Some when the war started, and again since Saddam was eliminated.

The consensus is, It was a big mistake politically, for Iraq. They agree Saddam was a dictator and a bad guy, but the alternative was worse. Saddam not only allowed, but embraced (for the first time in their history) a very westernized culture in Iraq. Unlike its Arab neighbors. Saddam's Iraq was not bullied by a sub-culture of religious zealots. Each person I have talked to has said basically the same things. When the U.S. presence is gone, Iraq will be eventually (if not immediately) ruled by religious hardliners.

They also believe strongly that any attempt at a legitimate democracy in Iraq is a pipe dream. Iraq, through its history has "never" been a democracy, it has always had an imperialistic ruler of one form or another. As such, the three religious factions (who will never agree on any aspect of communal life) would need one single entity to dictate the terms and conditions of any semblance of peaceful co-existence.

That unfortunately is what has created every dictator since time in memoriam. We all hope not, but we all believe that history has a bad habit of repeating itself, just as water always seeks its own level.

I'm sure their answer would be much better off now, did you read the link on Saddam Hussein or are you just spouting off something someone said. "Dubya is a global tyrant" can you clarify what that means or are you just once again parroting off something you heard somewhere, do you know what the word "Tyrant" means or are you just ignorant and the word sounded cool to use. If you lived under a tyrant they would come to your house for posting such crap, drag you into the street and shoot you in front of your neighbors as an example or maybe do as Saddam did many times and rape your Wife in front of you and kill your children then torture you and cut off a limb or two as an example.

Threats are made in every school playground around the world everyday, would you want to attack there? American Intelligence (oxymoron?) led the world to believe WMD's existed in Iraq. If you were to ask the Iraqi people if they were better off now or under Saddam, I wonder what their answer would be. Dubya is a global tyrant, Saddam was localised to the gulf.

There will be no war with Iran everyone involved realizes it would be a disaster for all involved. America does not have any army and Israel got it's ass kicked by Lebanon, Iran is much greater in power than Lebanon and Israel is surrounded by Arab countries. America can't clean up after a hurricane, or take over Iraq let alone handle Afghanistan how the hell is it going attack Iran. The brainless leader of America has depleted all of his credibility as well as his armies on stealing oil and illegally occupying other countries. He is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

So you have access to inside information that shows that they are going to use these funds to start a war, if Iran drops a view warheads on Israel then is it ok to get involved? or do we have to wait till they have nuclear weapons and drop one on us and believe it or not your “Stumbling towards disaster – again” heading is meaningless to those of us that feel that Iraq was not a mistake and take the threat of a Nuclear Iran or Iran in general very seriously.

Why not try the unthinkable, elect someone that is neither a Democrat or Republican. Someone that might actually have the best interest of America and its people, rather than their political parties agenda at heart. This government and its two party system just sucks.
