The Iranians are already responsible for aiding the insurgency in Iraq with technical assistance for their IED's and with "muslim brothers" willing to die for the cause. That alone is provocation enough to hit them and if they are truly controlling elements of the insurgency creating a proxy war then its REALLY time to make them pay for it. Oh yeah, and there's that little nuclear weapons thing also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, and there's that little nuclear weapons thing also. Ugh. Let's begin. 1. Iran has not been providing help on IED's, according to statements by the General Pace the day after Bush made his B.S. statement. The Daily Show bit on that was priceless. 2. It still remains fairly illogical to expect that Iran is going to supply components for IED's to a Sunni Insurgency which is trying desperately to break up a Shi'ite dominated state that will certainly be incredibly close to Iran if it ever forms a government. It doesn't matter if they're "Muslim Brothers"...The Sunnis and Shi'a in Iraq are Muslims, and that doesn't seem to stop them from despising each other. 3. The article tells us how Muqtada Al-Sadr went to Iran. First of all, Al-Sadr's group is a key constituency in the elected Iraqi government. It makes sense for him to be visiting Iraq. He's not an outlaw, he's now a political figure. Disagree with that? Well, that's the system we've built there. He has every right to be visiting Iran in that regard, he's basically a representative of the government of the state right next to Iran. On the other hand, yeah there is still that nuclear weapons thing. But if there's going to be a strike on Iran, let's at least base it on facts. We've done enough lying to get ourselves into wars.
