Be
ar in mind that EVERY event dealing with Iran has its roots in the CIA led overthrow of the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953. Why did we do it? The brits didn't like that Iran was playing hardball over oil.
This little piece of what the CIA calls "Blowback" gave the Iranian people nearly 2 decades of tyranny and opression under the Shah's brutal regime. By then many began to explore their faith more deeply and the seeds of Islamic fundamentalism were sown allowing for an overthrow of the Shah.
Then to add insult to injury we backed Saddam Hussein in the war against Iran. We now have 42 military bases ringing Iran and we sit and wonder after 50 years of meddling and the 42 bases why they might feel more secure in their homes with a nuke.
If you were running Iran what would you do? We need to be OUT of the Middle East yesterday. We marched in, we can march out of all 42 bases in an orderly and safe manner.
I couldn't get the trailer to play so could you give me the Readers Digest Version?
War is good for the economy.Rumors of War?
Jefferson was essentially correct when he advised "Trade with all nations, alliances with none. We need to head back to that.
Ironic thing is Iran seems not to be taking their own advice. They are directly meedling in the internal affairs of Syria. And then they wonder why Syrian rebels snatch up Iranians every chance they get.
However I do think our Foreign Policy is far to heavy handed and we need to scale back our overseas military activity and build up our Diplomatic Corp and clandestine services (CIA) in order to get more and better information that allows our diplomats to be more effective. We have the power to render a nation into rubble in a matter of days should we desire to.
