And here comes the irony...
The Iraqi people would have electricity, water, and functioning markets and schools IF the Iranian President would quit arming opposition groups!
Could he have been greeted by the Iraqi's that he is arming and helping to kill Americans and their fellow Iraqis? Probably.

    Agreed for the most part. But ya know....to be fair...when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor we responded by invading Italy.
    But yes...the harm is done, the invasion happened...so maybe instead of blaming Bush over past mistakes that created the current crisis...just maybe, we can criticize Iran for once for continuing and escalating the crisis?
    Nah...that would be too easy...it's much easier to blame a Republican.

        Thanks raat, you have documented a decades long effort by Repugs to disrupt the world! Repugs are truly the terrorists of America, and should be declared so!

      Shouldn't the blame fall on the individuals that caused the problem? This is the major problem with our country both sides of the current political spectrum. No accountability and everything is left to plausible deniability.
      "But ya know....to be fair...when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor we responded by invading Italy."
      Could you explain the relevance of this statement? It is completely bewildering. Are you trying to compare the US attacking a country that declared war on us versus a country that didn't? Wow.

        wtagg, your intent was good, but your analogy was flawed since Italy had aligned itself as an Axis power and because the greatest threat was in Europe! The Japanese had overextended themselves and could do no furhter damage!

        He was trying to use the analogy that we were attacked (9/11) and we then attacked Iraq is equal to Japan attacking us then we attacked Italy. The difference is that Iraq did not declare war on us. Italy did declare war on us (Dec 11, 1941).
        I was demonstrating that his comment had no real relevant tie to the Iraq situation. Maybe you misinterpreted what I was attempting to point out.

      "But ya know....to be fair...when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor we responded by invading Italy."
      ?????
      December 8, 1941 - U.S. and Britain declare war on Japan.
      December 15, 1941 - First Japanese merchant ship sunk by a U.S. submarine
      Didn't we liberate N. Africa before Italy?
      Escalation? Wasn't the troop "Surge" an escalation?
      What proof do you or the Bush Administration have the proves Iran is sponsering the insurgency? What about Saudi Arabia, I understand more weapons come from there than Iran.

        "I understand more weapons come from there than Iran."
        ...and from our own country...
