Iran is the heart of the 'islamic' Right

[ck4829]

The 'christian' Right has the Bible Belt.

The 'islamic' Right has Iran. It is the progenitor of the terrorist movements that we see today.

If Bush knows what's good for him and America, he mustn't consider going after Iran. They got enraged after we helped the Shah, what would happen if we invaded?

What are they trying to do?

Do they want to create more terrorist groups?

1. Nope. Try Saudi Arabia.

2. Saudi Arabia serves a purpose...

All of this stuff really started with the Theocratic Revolution in Iran.

It serves as sort of a beacon to them (Both Saudi Arabia and Iran anyway).

3. The heart of Islam is everywhere

Please note that right now the U.S. is training soldiers to speak Bahasa Indonesia. Why? Islam's largest nation is Indonesia--home of some particularly nasty and successful terrorist events. Europe--almost every country has a substantial Muslim population. China--yes, there, too. Not to speak of the Middle East. If Bushco went after Holy Iran, he would unleash the anger of millions. And they would not be just us DUers.

4. I'm not referring to Islam in itself

I'm referring to the Extremist,Intolerant, Militant, etc. side of it.

Iran is a symbol to the Fundamentalists, to the #2 guys in Al Qaeda (No matter how many of them there are), etc. It is a symbol that is about the violence that can be created if this beautiful religion gets used by the wrong person.
