Fine. Muslims.
Their stated goal is to have one government controlled by a caliph.
What exactly do you want to negotiate away regarding this?

Yeah...what about it?
The article reports on the US overthrow of an elected leader.
Who knows how Iran would've evolved had the CIA not intervened?

There was still never a free democracy in Iran.
If they hold elections, that's close enuf for me.

You know just because you don't agree with the policies of an elected government does this somehow negate its status as an elected government.
Also your Republican Butthurt towards Obama is ridiculous but then again that is the way politics work in the US.
That goal, if really there, wouldn't appear to pose much threat to us.
We will always face threats from here or there...atheists, Xians, Muslims, Jews, etc.
We should have a strong self-defense....but we should not be preemptively attacking other countries.

You repeatedly make this claim but never offer any evidence. Can you put up or shut up?
What is the relationship between Iran and al-Qaida? | World news | The Guardian
The Iranians are Shiites. Al-Qa'ida believes that Shiites are heretics and its members have frequently murdered them. That is hardly likely to encourage Iran to support them.

Man, I've never seen so much press concerning one "rethinking," "re-evaluation," and "reconsidering."
I mean, to be fair, I also want a president who doesn't think twice, never evaluates something a second time, or, God forbid, take something into consideration.
Because western oil consumers find democracy in the middle east unprofitable.

The Iranian president was just recently supposedly elected, however, he doesn't have power.
The petulant child in the White House is an embarassment to this country.

You know very well that I wasn't talking about the current form of Government in Iran but rather the Governments prior to the Coup detat by the US and UK.

Yanno...that really is irrelevant.
Most Iranians today weren't even alive when that happened.

The defense didn't work very well during the 911 attack did it?
Terrorists from other countries can come here and carry out terrorist attacks.
Why do you think Iranians are as prone to amnesia as USonians are?
I don't think that they are.

But many of them survived our proxy war (using Iraq) against them.
It's a sore point.
Then we should continue preparing.
But a preemptive attack on Iran would likely inspire more terrorism.
It behooves Americastan to place its own interest above the paranoid wants of Israel & other Zionists.
And I say that peace serves us (& Israel, even though they don't seem to know it).
