Is that your well considered opinion?
No oil, but a great deal of strategic advantage...
...After all do we see the US posturing against that well known democracy in Saudi Arabia?
i can imagine its no fun to live under dictatorship, however
its the obligation of people living under that dictatorship to remove it if they want.
other countries getting involved just makes it a longer mess, just look at irak, america wasted a trillion dollar to remove a sunni dominated government to install a shia dominated government.....what was the point?
unless a country is a threat to you, dont get involved, iran is not a threat to the americans just like irak wasnt, which is why i cant understand their mass hysteria, no country in the world is a military threat to the americans. however they have several economic threats, like china, russia, brazil who are dominating latin america more and more, and potentially even the EU.
for them to waste time and money chasing camels in the desert be it irak or iran is just the action of a confused nation.
the only interest i can see in the desert is oil and they get that anyway
iran cant stop the americans from getting it.
i think the russians and the Chinese watch and laugh as the americans chase ghost all over the desert as the other two are getting stronger and stronger.
I think the hysteria has to do with appeasing the US people.
You know fighting 'the war on terror'. I don't think it is that simple to say it's down to the people. These are in majority are uneducated, poor and oppressed people living under a rule that still favors barbaric methods (stoning, torture, death penalty etc) of dealing with those who want to even question the authority.
Though I agree the Iraq situation was quite farcical. I think its the duty of those with the power (US and others) to reverse the plight of these people and step in. Though in this world they need some 'reward' for their troubles (oil etc).
I understand I'm living a bit in fantasy that these problems are easily solvable, but I don't agree with leaving these governments to their own devices.
iran doesnt have oil thats why they need nuclear power
Wait a sec he said that people's actions caused the hurricane
how is that different than the man-made global warming brigade? The only difference I can see is that in his case God is merely an intermediary.
really? 4th largest oil reserves in world + 2nd largest gas - but dont take my word for it

now ask yourself why anyone would get suspicious of a nuclear programme promoted by a leader who has repeatedly called for the elimination of another country (enough links already)
