1. So I wonder: How many countries do we have to illegally invade before the world
understands that we are an out-of-control superpower hell-bent on world domination?

18. The world already understands.
The decision under consideration is "Which method to use to stop
the US that will cause the least pain to everyone else?"

2. No, Hillary was the one who was supposed to
attack Iran. She's a war monger you know. If there is an adult in the White House he just might check the pocket book before we go into another little action.

13. The link makes a big difference
Panetta isn't suggesting attacking Iran. He's suggesting attacking militias in Iraq that he says are armed by Iran and attacking US troops. The US has been in a non-combat stance, but, until we leave, if we are shot at we should shoot back. That's all Panetta is saying. So many jumped to conclusions when there wasn't even a working link.

17. And we thought
North Korea or Pakistan even the muslims will be the cause of the next world war? America seems to thrive on war.
