Well Teribus, had we not exposed Saddam as a "toothless tiger" perhaps Iran would not now be pursuing a nuclear policy.
Our actions in regard to North Korea e.g. no action at all, must surely have persuaded Iran that a nuclear policy was imperative to avoid being attacked and invaded.

The three points you cite as answers to my post are nothing but evasion.
Ask the mothers of the dead young boys serving in Iraq whether they believe we are at war in that country
I'm sure they will be mightily relieved to hear that it is all just a bad dream.

Yor third point is cynical sqirming and as Tia says "spin, spin, spin."

According to the US/UK govts Iran is one of the main promoters of Terror worldwide, so a hardline Islamist Govt in Iraq sponsered by Iran, is likely to follow the same agenda.

Your arguments have descended to the absurd, and any further discussion should be addressed to messrs Bush and Blair.....Ake
