Coalitions of Arabs states formed against the "perceived threat" of Israel (Not much has changed in that arena...uggh). Somehow I think it all began with one muslim suibomber. -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

Methinks the Bush administration is using Iran as a scapegoat for its problems in Iraq.

I simply said if another country is aiding in killing our troops we can't sit back and let them. whether or not Iran is helping remains to be seen. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were. |

Coalitions of Arabs states formed against the "perceived threat" of Israel (Not much has changed in that arena...uggh). What does Arab aggression against Israel have to do with US aggression against an Shiite fundamentalist Persian Islamic state? Remember, the last thing that countries like Saudi Arabia want are fundamentalist regimes taking over. I doubt Islamic states themselves would aid Iran. However, it COULD destabilize the Islamic population around the middle east even more. This post has been edited by Dr. Gonzo: Feb 13 2007, 12:42 PM -------------------- A psychotic world we live in.

Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

You are right, the area is already unstable. I meant unstable to the point of Islamic revolutions, like the one we saw in Iran. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in.
