Fair...who cares about fair, i'm an American. The deal with Iran prior to 1979 was all about the Soviet Union...nothing else. Nobody cared on either side what they had to do as long as they could do something to try and destabilize the other. If that ment fighting or supporting proxy wars, dictators or subverting governments, so be it. We didn't do this stuff in a vaccum...we had the Soviet bear to deal with. Iran shouldn't have nukes because they're not stable. U guys all assume everything is on a level playing field. These guys have a long history of supporting terrorism, commiting acts against us and our allies. I don't really care why they hate us, I have a good grasp of history. The point is that they do, which means they hate u to Bserker, and they would rather see us go. I don't advocate an invasion because it would cost the lives of more Americans and our allies. I am all for supporting groups like u mentioned...better proxies then our own troops. SOF fought for 10 years in Central and South America.....worked out fine. I don't recall any ridiculous parades or protests calling for death to Iran..in fact I don't think I've ever heard Bush say "Death to iran". Regime change sure...but not Death to Iran. Most countries are their to provide a vibrant economy and want peace for their people. Some don't, like Iran and need to go. Treaties, scraps of paper are worthless with people like this. History has shown us that time and time again that we;ll come out on the short end of the stick. Topple them from within or persued the mullahs to get rid of Amedinijad, whatever,......put ina moderate who says a few nice things about Israel and we'll forget the whole thing. Pull the plug on nuke power or come up with a better solution to ensure they can't make bombs.
