Answer me this-why does America tolerate the existence of hostile Syrian and Iranian regimes intent on arming themselves to the teeth and checking American support in the region at every turn? It isn't because of lack of strength, and it isn't because they care about upsetting the Arab street, (see Iraq). Iran has been funding the Hezbollah, since, oh, 1979. We do nothing. NOTHING. Iran funds and even provides soliders for the Iraq insurgency. We do NOTHING.
Count me confused. I hope we continue our "dialogue" with Iran to "persuade" them not to develop a nuke-bomb. I am sure they will "promise" not to use it on Israel.
I am not necessarily talking invasion-but no "democratic" experiment in Iraq can possibly work with these two countries on its borders. What is the point, I say, do something right or do it not at all. Iraq will not spread democracy in the Mid-East simply by exisiting.
I see no hope in the foreign policy-knuckleheads now running for President. Going to be a long year.
