(98,883 posts)Oh wait we already did that.
Hmmmmmmm, but we sure showed Saddam he can't threaten us didn't we? Doesn't matter if there were no WMDs and millions died
Since we have already done Iraq, and encouraged an 8 year war between Iraq and Iran, I guess it is between North Korea and Iran, tough decision
Personally I think Kim Jongs threat to the U.S. Are more dramatic, but of course I am talking about threats made to the U.S.
Actually I really sympathize with those that want a more agressive stand against Iran, like war for instance, that I strongly encourage them to join a military that feels the same way, or if they are too old the least they can do is push their children or relatives to join and fight.
I also would like those wise asses from Havard and Yale who conceived that we overthrow the Democratically elected government of Iran in 1953, to join the "fight"
Their analysis of the situation has been consistent. Yes, consistently wrong, but that is beyond the point
We had an opportunity during the Cuban missile crisis to nuke away. Esteemed folks like Curtis E Lemay wanted that first strike so badly, but no, Kennedy through various intermediaries worked to defuse the situation. Missed opportunity I am sure some would say.
