you should start working to elect more democrats. its not a sure thing that they will oppose war with iran but those republicans are getting scary in their calls for war.
we should have learned our lesson with Iraq, eh? it is wrong to start a war when the other country has done nothing to you. it wouldn't be easy and it wouldn't solve anything.
The biggest problem with Iraq was that we didn't have an exit strategy. We totes have an exit strategy for Iran now guys.
oh noooo norstal we DID have an exit strategy. it was just an abysmally stupid one. we were going to install Ahmed Chalabi (I think that's the guy) as the new highly popular leader of Iraq and then get the fuck out. ooops it turned out that no one in Iraq knew chalabi and those who did weren't interested in handing him power.
and im sure that any exit strategy the neocons have in mind for iran would be equally stupid.
