Linkster, as always your post is based on information that you can actually support in an intelligent way but what needs to be said in response to Lazonby when he's clearly pointed out that he reads only headlines and gets information from Fox News?
Iraq was a major stabilizing force in the Middle East but now they have no army to roll into Iran. Iran is also in a bad spot with US troops on both sides and so many not so friendly places having nukes.
They also see that the only reason Pakistan is not occupied right now is because they have nukes.
Saber rattling is good for those in power as it helps them stay in power. We can clearly see this from our own administration. The war in Iraq was the only thing that kept Dubya in office and of course it made a few responsible for it wealthy beyond their dreams. Hatred is a very powerful force.
My concern is that Iran may be pushing us because they think we can't afford another war and I think they're right. Dubya has given away our security by putting us in debt. China has far more pull in this country's policies then people would like to believe. If they stop loaning the US money or even stop producing for Wal Mart this administration losses everything and the US falls on very hard times.
