I think that Iran has actually lost influence in the region with their nutty President, except for in Iraq which is can't even govern itself (we and the U.N. appear to be the ones determining it's ineffective economic and political policies). <BR/><BR/>I would also like you to define who our enemy is. I couldn't tell if you were describing Iraqis or Saudis or both. Osama bin Laden is our real enemy and not that important to our government. He's not in Iraq, and neither are the Islamic terrorists scattered all over the world planning to hurt us. It seems eerily obvious that fighting them is compromised by our support of a continued "war" or occupational nation-building in Iraq--yet our press ignores this and moves the target to Iran. Even if we could create a Western-style nation out of the sham government and civil war that exists today in Iraq it would take decades. And does that occupation make us more or less secure HERE? We attempt to build Iraq into something like us (outmoded Imperialism) while our enemies use that ongoing action as a reason to keep recruiting young people to kill themselves, our allies, and us all over the world--while we virtually ignore what needs to be done to find and stop these challenging enemies from growing, mutating, and killing US.Pink Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556606553132406807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12597943.post-75072139331864270562007-11-19T09:25:00.000-06:002007-11-19T09:25:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.com
