Reply #19: Iran is who we should have attacked in 02, not Iraq in 03 [View All]

[Neil Lisst]

Unlike Iraq, Iran has been actively supporting terrorism all over the globe for two decades, including the 9/11 hijackers. If the US had bombed selected installations, maybe mined the ports a while, in 2002 or 2003 as clear retribution for Iran's involvement in terror activities, I would not have opposed it.

But now we're three years into an Iraq invasion, and the lapse of time and the negatives of the occupation have made attacking Iran more of a problem, less of a solution.

I think Bush sees Iran as a threat to HIS peace plan for the mideast, which is his fantasy of Afghanistan and Iraq was mini-Americas.

This is where Bush paying attention the first 40 years really would have paid some dividends.
