SAMMY! That was an excellent post! While I disagree with you, you make a good case. My counter point would be that all we've done is remove a check on Iran's power and now they are the dominant power in the region. In fact Iran seems to be in firm control of the Islamic radicals (witness their manipulation of Hezbollah). Therefore, if one believes your argument, the country to attack would've been Iran, not Iraq. Iraq was secular while Iran's government is radical Islam. Therefore, at best, I'd say we attacked the wrong country. At worst I'd say we accelerated your prediction while at the same time burning our allies, depleting our resources, and beating up our troops. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
