What about Saudies and bahrain why dont you extend your help there. Its your double standards that we abhor
In order to be able to project any force at all into the middle east region, we need the support of some dictatorial leaderships. Specifically, we need fly-over-rights and the ability to make military bases in the middle east.
You could say that this tendency to meddle in the middle east has caused "all the problems", but you could also say that these activities will (over a long time) teach middle eastern and asian leaderships the futility of terrorism as a tactic to gain influence over others.
To put it short: we can do it right, or we can do it wrong and shoot ourselves in the balls.
Iraq was a mistake.
Premature invasion of Iran would be a mistake too, a big one.
Invasion of Iran _after_ they acquire a working nuke (and the missiles to deliver them), is not a mistake I believe. But we'd be wise to find a way to keep Iran nuke-free without an invasion. I'm going to give that some thought and possibly feed my thoughts to the republicans in the states if I come up with a better solution.
If you have a better solution to keep Iran nuke-free, please let me know.

yes but there are different views . for one it is freedom fighter group and for other it is terrorist
I don't mind calling some terrorists freedom fighters.
But the thing is: usually terrorists do not support freedom. They support a religious dictatorship of their own people and other peoples.
And the major point is: terrorism is a futile tactic that will just invoke the wrath of a military machine that is practically speaking impossible to defeat.
Even the tactic to draw the West into wars it cannot afford and thus bankrupt the Western enemies, has proven not to work, so far. Time will tell if this tactic prevails (I hope not), but somehow I don't see it happening.
