but... in our grand scheme of things.. do Iran, Iraq, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Russia. really matter? Will any of these countries or entities have a direct impact on the well being of the American people.
IMO, we owe Iraq because we created the present situation. Iran and Syria will eventually self destruct, and Russia talks a lot of smack but doesn't have the resources to back it up. Hezbollah and Hamas, should be left to the Israelis do deal with as they see fit. Iran may develop nukes, but they're useless without a delivery system, and any delivery system they get won't be able to hit the US and I don't think they're stupid enough to launch anything. The Israelis have nukes, they can keep the Iranians in line. North Korea on the other hand has a delivery system that can hit the US, and their leader is about as goofy as they come, we should be keeping a closer eye on them than what we do.
