          I’m sorry, rereading what I said, it looks like I’m disagreeing with what you said. I was actually attempting to agree with you, badly.

    We need to get religion out of politics or this will never end. There is no good side to this conflict; its all bad lesser, middling, and greater.

    Iran has very good reason to not like us and Great Britain since the CIA and MI6 staged a coup of their democracy in the name of sweet sweet oil.

    In other words… it won’t interfere if Israel is the one doing the hitting, but will interfere as soon as any of Israel’s victims start hitting back.

    Riiiight.

    “We’re just going to give Isreal all the weapons, training, and intel they need and tell Iran if they hit back we’ll decimate them.”
