Plenty of people in the U.S. want war. For example, I just watched "Borat" the other night, and that idea was backed up by a crowd at a rodeo cheering him on as he spoke of keeping up the fight until every Iraqi was dead.
Russia and China have allied with Iran in order to deter the U.S. from attacking the country. Now Iran is trying to do the same by issuing statements of power. You can't blame a leader for trying to defend his country.
Everyone in the U.S. has been waiting for GW to make another excuse to enter Iraq ever since he added them to his "Axis of Evil." We've been expecting this...
What a profoundly stupid move on the part of our executive, eh? How do you think we'd be reacting if a country with 20-100 times our military might put us on their "axis of evil" right as they were invading and setting up bases in Mexico - doing away with another country on their "evil" list?
If WW3 starts because of this, I'm sure that history will perceive the U.S. as the aggressors... just as Germany was in WW2.
It significantly bothers me that a good number of U.S. citizens are still buying into the propaganda of the current U.S. administration.
