Before anyone thinks I am an anti-American, defeatist bastard, I'll tell you that I am a capitalist, pro-reason kind-of guy. But heres how it is... there is no better unifying factor for a country than when another invades it. We invade or even just bombard Iran, we will lose, we are already spread thin because of Iraq and partly because of Afghanistan; invading Iran would be suicide. On the other hand, without an invasion, Iran is not unified, the educated youth, a.k.a. the future leaders of Iran see the evils of its present dictatorship and everyone survives. We threw out the dictatorship in Iran years ago, and look where we are now. Lets not do the same thing again. I know I might sound like one of those squeamish spoiled little brats who keep saying 'just listen to them, give them what they want, were the evil ones'. No, were not the evil ones, but lets not make our own situation worse than it already is.
