I'm pretty sure the idiot assholes who thought up the infamous "Bush Doctrine" only meant it to apply when the United States attacked another country. Like when we felt threatened, or we wanted that country's natural resources, or we just wanted to inflate the already obscene profits of the MIC (or better yet, all three!).
And by "we" I mean the wealthy interests who own our government.
But the citizens of our nation should wake up to what's happening. Republicans in this country are forewarning Iranian leadership that they'll sabatoge any treaty and wage war on Iran at the first opportunity. Iran has every reason to feel threatened. Seems to me our Republicans are provoking Iran into their own version of the "Bush Doctrine."
Hopefully Iran will show more restraint than Shrub and Darth Cheney did.
It is any wonder that so many in this world hate America?

It is dumbo logic. But, with Bush admin, that was standard procedure.

taking up that crushing burden, because ... WE CARE.
