If you leave the eggs alone, they'll eventually rot and die... I wish we could do that with the Middle East. They hate us when we trade with them, they hate us when we don't. We give them aid, they hate us... so we stop and they hate us more. I'm really tired of these bastards to tell you the truth! Now I understand how Yahweh felt when he dealt with these tribes in the old testament! What a bunch of ingrates!!!

The issue isn't whether there are terrorist IN Iran, but rather does the government habor them. I don't know, but wouldn't you think we should only be concerned about stopping terrorists from committing more destruction on U.S. soil rather than ending terrorism? The latter which you simply cannot do, convienently left out of discussions because without a war on something politicians do not get elected.

WW1: German U-boats entered the eastern U.S. water territory. I think they sunk a British ship bound for NY which was the main reason we went to war. There was also the fact that the U.S. had strong monetary relations with France and England (like they owed us money). Justified IMO.

WW2: Pearl Harbor...need I say more? Justified IMO.

Korea: U.S. didn't want the Soviets to spread Communism. This is a war we shouldn't have been in.

Vietnam: Fuck the French, this is a war we shouldn't have been in.

WWI the Germans sank a boat full of munitions to aid it's enemies and it wasn't in US waters. We were already poking our noses in. If another country was aiding a faction that we were at war with, what would we do?

WWII Pearl Harbor was a Japanese reaction to our Imperialist policies in their back yard. Not to mention our meddling in the Pacific rim.

It's all perspective my friend. You can justify the wars that you approve of and I can condemn them. There were a myriad of reasons that we went to war against Iraq. Whether or not you agree with them in hindsight makes very little difference now. Personally, I think that we should have concentrated on Afghanistan. Iraq could have waited.
