Iran will reach an agreement with the sunni countriesand iraq will be divvied up, mostly to the shia. iran doesn't want a war with the sunni arabs. If that did happen it would be good for the US because the US could move in and clean up. |

Say, it's the old Neocon argument in Part 1! That's only a fair question if I ever were to disparage our military. In this case, it's off-topic. Part 1: I woulda bragged about it if I did. As things stand, it's a religious matter for me not to participate in a military. Part two: Yes. For several years, in fact.In the matter of the USA, it's the leaders that have turned us into el-wussoes. Neocons come strutting along acting like they're some kinda tough guys, but prove that they're inept, unlearned in war themselves (and being in the military does not mean one is learned in war; look at our CE); and they're humbled as soon as they act (their "secret" negotiations with Iran right from the get-go make it evident). Selling out to our enemies ain't the same as fighting them. |

What we need is an ADULT in the Oval Office, not someone who takes the presidency as a cue to live out neocon fantasies. Most presidents in the latter half of the 20th Century--Democrats and Republicans--did at least live up to that minimal requirement. There were screw-ups, but not the egregious trigger worshiping jingoism and utter contempt for diplomacy that we've seen in the last seven years.Unfortunately, so far all the GOP candidates now have shown themselves to be, if anything, worse than Shrub. So right now, the Democrats are pretty much it for decent foreign policy. Ironic indeed considering the party's traditional image. Look. There are many who will hate us no matter what we do. And there are times when we have to use force, and so that it what we do. But we have many natural allies too, and we do ourselves no favors by alienating them unnecesarily. (I might add, the administration also alienated a substantial and growing majority of Americans. Division is his way. It shows how much he really loves his country.) So yeah, if we get a decent president next time, we may yet repair our image abroad. |

I call to task anyone who thinks that someone else should fight for what they themselves are unwilling to don uniform and gun and do themselvesGiven that outlook, then Bush should never be questioned as to what he commands the military to do. (Do you subscribe to the Friedmanist notion of an "all-voluntary military"? If there were a draft, I'd go when called, though; I doubt my current physical shape would result in acceptance, and my age is at the cutoff point, if not over it already.) As for the military, they're quite willing to do what has to be done; but the mess in Iraq (and Afghanistan) has to do with restraint put on our military; and the more we "negotiate" with Iran, the stronger they get. Going after the wrong targets and negotiating with the right target is the greatest disservice to our troops. Underfunding them is yet worse; who cuts taxes during a time of war? (That Rumsfeld speech about "go[ing] to war with the army you have", et cetera, is a disgrace.) |

Hey fuckup, what color are the clouds in your world. SUNNI muslims WILL NOT cede soveringty to SHIITES. If iran tried to take over like that we could just sit back and watch the two sides kill each other. The Sunnis will end up with western iraq and the Shiites will get the south and east. The only question is what will happen with Northern Iraq and who will kill the Kurds. The US will not lift a finger because they don't want to piss off turkey who also wants the Kurds dead. Iran will try to flex its muscles but it has nothing that NUCLEAR pakistan doesn't have. Now it you want to mak the case for the destruction of iran, fine but bu$h has worn out the military in iraq. Perhaps a straight scorched earth (kill ALL living things) operation in iran after the US military has had a year to recover from bu$h's stupid iraqi adventure is doable but the sunnis will still get the Kurds. |

SUNNI muslims WILL NOT cede soveringty to SHIITESThey did in Syria, who is seventy percent Sunni. They hold no sovereignty in Iraq because we handed it to the pro-Iranian Shi'ites. If iran tried to take over like that we could just sit back and watch the two sides kill each other. The Sunnis will end up with western iraq and the Shiites will get the south and east This is the same bologna that I argued with Neocons over. Iran already has control over Iraq, even with the US forces there. There will be no fight; Iran will make sure of that. The big celebration point would be the ouster of US forces. The only question is what will happen with Northern Iraq and who will kill the Kurds. The US will not lift a finger because they don't want to piss off turkey who also wants the Kurds dead Say, remember Iran declaring amnesty for Kurds eleven years ago? Some very interesting insights on that page—one PUK leader declaring that the Iranians were "worse than the Iraqis". And that's back in '96. Iran, though, seems to have no problem whatsoever with non-nationalist Kurds—they want everything to be one big happy (You know all them rumblings of "uprisings" against the Mullahs? Crushed quite rapidly. Don't expect salvation from within.) Now it you want to mak the case for the destruction of iran, fine but bu$h has worn out the military in iraq. Perhaps a straight scorched earth (kill ALL living things) operation in iran after the US military has had a year to recover from bu$h's stupid iraqi adventure is doable but the sunnis will still get the Kurds This is why I've been saying "go after Iran first", especially since our intelligence has been saying the same thing for years upon end. |

The resulting war with the sunnis would result in the other 90% of the UMMAH doing our dirty work for us Ain't going to work that way. Iran's been seducing every Sunni terror group from Fatah/Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood (the obvious ones) to good old al-Qa'eda—when it comes to support for terror activity, money talks. If the Muslim Brotherhood gets voted in over in Egypt (and the Neocons have been pressuring Mubarak to be "more democratic", which makes it very likely), that's another vassal state for the Mullahs, and a lot of "political capital" (pardon the 2004 election pun) for the Supreme Leader. The Saudis will either fall in line with Iran or sell out to the EU after that. |

London is now referred to by it's increasingly disenfranchised "core residents" as LONDONSTAN. I'm sure that the Parisians are having similar angst over the demographic shift in their city. The fact is that the islamists all over the world will rejoice should we make the mistake of electing either of the 2 front running "pandering democratic candidates" (who should remain nameless). Rejoicing not withstanding, Anti-US sentiment will not decline in europe as long as the muslim "majority's" voice is the only one we listen to or care about. |

In my lifetime, I can remember only one president who actually could be credited with turning around chauvinistically anti-American feelings: that was JFK. It was probably partly because of his personality and presentation. It was certainly because the gloom of The Cold War seemed to lift. It was the first real respite from the continual stress of the Depression, WWII, Korea, and the nuclear tension of the Cold War 50s. Rock n Roll notwithstanding, the 50s were not a particularly pleasant time.The anti-US world was hoping Obama would do their bidding; when that didn't turn out as good as they hoped, their anti-US feeling just kept rolling along. |

Democrats can't wrap themselves around the concept that the world hates the U.S. from a combination of the envy and hatred that the strongest power in the world always attracts, as well as (in the case of certain countries, especially France) anger at the loss of their own past power.With Dubya in office, Old Europe had an additional anger, because they didn't like his messing up their belief that THEY were NATO's political wing and the U.S. was NATO's military wing. The idea that the U.S. could start a war without their approval and that they might actually be called upon to fight messed up their minds. Obama thought that if we gave away U.S. power the world would love us; he was partly right, if you think that replacing fear with contempt equals love. |
