Reply #4: you know who else is evil?

[THUNDER HANDS]

the people who run Saudi Arabia.
the people who run China.
the people who run Pakastan.


but for some reason we're buddy-buddy with them.

Evil is relative. And those three nations are a worse threat to our national security than Iran. But Iran is an easy target, much like Iraq was. And since Saddam is dead, a new boogeyman needs to rise to take his place.

This Iranian leader is a egotistical blowhard, but he's not the only bad man on the planet. Just the next guy to focus our anger on and pretend that once we topple him, all will be right with the world and the middle east and the "war on terrah."
