Clearly we are provoking them with this talk of labeling the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization, but so what? They are, in effect, a terrorist organization. They are supplying weapons and training for insurgents in Iraq to carry out terrorist attacks against US troops and Iraqi civilians. Let's call them what they are.
The point of the label is to put political pressure on the Iranians in the international community, to make it difficult for others to support them at the UN. It is a prelude to a push for stronger sanctions, not military action. As for what would happen in the event of a war between the U.S. and Iran, the country worst hit by the war would be Iran itself. Oil & gas account for three-quarters of their exports. If they can't export oil & gas, they can't pay for weapons, they can't buy equipment or food- they will go bankrupt. If that clown journalist is going to look at the worst case scenario, he should at least be intellectually honest about it. On 8/22/07, Loathe wrote: > > That's what I'm seeing now.
