thing. we aren't provoking a damn thing.ke we never provoke anything. you know why we wanted to because that's where you know why we wanted to afghanistan? because that's where 9/11 was hatched, that's where we were attacked. don't tell me iraq is a reason not to deal with iran. one has nothing to do with the other. the world is always going to be evil, sometimes there will be war, sometimes there won't. sometimes there will be military action, sometimes therere won't. the word here to keep in mind is prudence, not ideology from the code pink republicans and the hard left who sound alike, not the radical interventionists. prudence. the iranians attacked us, they attacked oil rigs in commercial waterways. thee iranians have captured american sailors in the past, they have killed american soldiers in iraq and theas iranians have killed american marines in lebanon! i don't know, what do you think red china would c do about this? what do you think russia would do about this?wo what do you think any self-respecting nation would do about this?
