I love it when people pretend like Muslims started this whole series of conflicts. Everyone seems to forget about when we overthrew Iran's Democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. Oh and we overthrew him because he wanted Iran to profit from Iranian oil. That seems like a reasonable thing...right? But no we wanted our oil companies to be in charge of the oil fields. So what do we do, we overthrow the Prime Minister and put a puppet government in his place.
Gee I wonder if that may have pissed them off...
I realize this happened 50 years ago, but they haven't forgotten like the majority of Americans have. Just think how you would feel if we weren't the all powerful country we were and someone decided to overthrow our government so they could better profit off of us. I don't think I'd forget or let my children forget.
Oh and war with Iran would be suicidal. They have money and guns and planes and tanks and the whole nine yards. What did/does Iraq have? Suicide bombers? We can't even win a war against sand people. I don't see how we could win a war against a country that would actually be prepared to fight back with modern weapons. Oh and if we were to attack them, everyone in that country would take to arms. When Iraq tried to invade them, they had children going into mine fields to disarm mines.
So um yea don't advocate a war with Iran. But hey if you want a draft go for it. That way you and all your loved ones can go die for a war about oil. Oh you didn't think this was about oil. How foolish of you, it's sure as hell isn't for peace.
Oh and completely unrelated. How can the rest of the economy be in a recession, when oil companies are making record profits....and if they are making record profits, why does the price of gas continue to go up?
