Lets get real here now, Iran invaded no one. They may have people in Iraq and who doesn't since it's a free for all, to the winner goes the spoils. You are most likely basing your opinions on Bush bullcrap. The same bullcrap that got us into Iraq and Afghanistan, yeah I included Afghanistan. Once the WTC disaster had occured we were in contact and negotiations with the Taliban. The Taliban was considering giving up Osama but the Bush administration failed in it's negotiation probably due to an extreme lack of effort. We had anything and everything the Taliban could have ever sought to have but Bush wanted to flex the US muscle and drop bombs. Talk to 90% of most republicans and rednecks, they all want to drop bombs, they all want war because they think it's the Macho thing to do. Fact is that during the Clinton era we captured more Islamic extremist than Bush could ever possibly conceive. We used law enforcement, fbi, nsa, cia and we caught, prosecuted and imprisoned these criminals. We can't win a war where we are using our military to battle criminals. Armies fight armies, law enforment fights crimals, law enforcement has the tools for the job the army doesn't. If Bush had sat down at the negotiation tables and truely worked with the Taliban we would have Osama in custody and over three thousand of our loved ones would still be alive and enjoying the family barbeque today. Ask yourself this, all presidents and administrations who have delt with conflict have worked with and talked to our enemy's and their allies. In your own home when you are doing battle against your spouse or other family members you eventually sit down and talk to them to work out your differences. Bush and his administration has flat refused to talk to all those involved with these conflicts, thats why we are still at war and we will never win or end these wars at least under his leadership. Bush's leadership is the way of the gun, pre-emptive strikes on anyone you don't like. What he has failed to recognize is that you can have a pre-emptive strike using words to resolve these conflicts before blood is spilled.
