Prize number one will be the sheer fact that Iran spent nearly a trillion dollars, a million lives and eight long years trying to conquer Iraq on behalf of the Islamic Revolution. When the war ended in a stalemate that Iran found intolerable, the religious leaders of Tehran flailed around for three years, then finally found a faster, cheaper, better way to add Iraq to Tehran's possessions.
The better way was us, the USA. And the phony Iraqi defectors with their plausible but ever-so-false weapons of mass destruction tales were all that was needed to prod us into motion. After all, we'd learned a simple lesson from 9/11--connect the dots. It's three years later and Iran has let us wallow in the blood of Iran until we couldn't take it any longer. It has waited patiently for us to do what we do so well. We call it finding an exit strategy. Other folks call it giving up. http://howardbloom.typepad.com/blooming_the_cosmos/2006/11/dont_let_iran_o.html _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
