Well, really, I have to get this off my chest....war barely belongs in the level of advancement achieved in the 17th century, and certainly has no place in the 21st. It's so sad that we've progressed so much and yet individuals still slaughter each other to serve the economic or political agendas of their leaders. Oh, and of course, it's not cannons and rapiers anymore, but machine guns, gas, roadside bombs, etc. Nice.

Don't get me wrong, I think we should go in if you have a Hitler-type situation happening, if there's a chance the free world might be totally swept away in a wave of manaical tyranny, but really, anyone who tries to pretend Iran is that much of a threat is just misguided....

Anyway, aggression can usually be traced to economic repression, anyway, which is a favourite activity of the West, i.e. in the staggering reparations Germany was forced to pay to France following WWI, or the fact that the fundamentalist revolution only occurred in Iran following the instability that ensued after the West had their elected leader overthrown in 1953 because he nationalized their oil.

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the starving, whether the bombs were dropped in the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty and democracy?"
