Perspectives

Funny how people can see the same thing and yet see completely different things. Today The Immoral Minority is in a panic because:

"U.S. Prepares to bomb Iran! Now you tell me again why Impeachment is not an option?"

He's worried because:
"Out foreign policy is now entering the realm of insanity. We cannot afford to divert our attention or resources to Iran with a war in Iraq and Afghanistan still going strong. George Bush's ADHD is becoming a national crisis! He starts a war in Afghanistan and then gets distracted by the shiny new opportunity in Iraq, now he is bored and wants to attack a brand new country. Where is his mother?"

Vs - a) it's smart to let Iran know that Nuclear weapons there will not be tolerated (and yes - we may or may not be bluffing but it's best for them to think we aren't) b)ADHD isn't what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq. I'm not even going to bother going into that and c) we can divert our attention and resources basically anywhere. We are still the US of A and frankly, personally I have yet to sacrifice anything for the war effort. So if we decided that a war with Iran was needed while still holding Afghanistan terrorists and Iraqi terrorists in check - I'm pretty certain it could be done.
