cool another discussion on the war

let me first say i have been against this war from the start.
but... i also realize that since we are in this war we CANNOT just up and pull out. that would be the worst thing we could possibly do. if people think it is a crazy situation now just think what the world will be like if iraq is unable to defend itsself against iran and what the ramifications of iran taking control of iraq then the rest of the middle east will be. once iran controls the middle east they will control the oil. without oil our military will be useless. tanks dont run on air. wich will open us up for foreign invasion. simply put our military is mechanized. and this is just one scenerio. next think about $20 - $30 a gallon gas what is that goin to do to our economy? the iranian army is no joke. they are hard fighting soldiers. so this is within the scope of possibility. i am not in favor of a war with iran, i do not agree with many of the policys of the US, but i do relize that when we crippled iraq we dug a very deep hole that we just cannot abandon. we have to help rebuild a goverment that is cabable of defending itself. the iraqis, no matter what the feelings toward us were ,was a buffer.

one more thing we supplied a few weopons in the early 80's to the iraqis but these were outa date and goneby the early 90's. they used the ak-47,supplied by china and ussr(also undoubtably the best assault rifle EVER desined) t-72 tanks, russian design, scud missles , russian design. also does anyone remember the iran-contra affair. the kuwaitis, who we liberated from iraq, asked russia for protection in the gulf when they discovered that we supplied weopons to their enemy the iranians.who by the way still use the f-14 .
point is the middle east is a sticky situation that we just cannot abandon at this poin in time

sorry if this s kinda meandering as to i tired and still have to go to work

I really cannot believe some of you people. DO some history for Christs sake, its fucking important. The sactions we put on Iraq in the early 90's doubled infant mortality and killed hundreds of thousands of women and children. OUR POLICIES FUCKING KILL PEOPLE!!!! If Iran was occupying mexico our CIA would be killing their soldiers, military enlistment would be through the Rating: 5
