Iran Question: Does anyone think that our recent problem with Iran was set in motion to aid George Bush?
I do not think the recent Iran issue was set in motion to aid George the 2nd. I think it was what it was. The Iranian leadership did not get what it wanted, so backed off without firing a shot. This is good. As for George the 2nd: he is already on a major losing track, and public opinion in USA is about to turn sharp against his admin policies. There, the major issue is very poor management of this entire flawed effort. YET, it IS a civil-religious war in Iraq. This kind of insanity is not in resolution, because our armed forces are trained to WIN, not have hands tied — done because of another flawed agreement with the Iraqi government. // As for getting the oil cut off: that will provide tremendous incentive to switch to alternative energy sources. The benefits?: reduction in global warming, reduced dependence on foreign sources, further increase in technological advances. It’s another potential win-win.
