How about letting the people from Iraq have a say in this? Isn't democracy and freedom important for America? Why should they then decide against their own policies, that Iraq should live with their policies?

Though, if I were from Iraq I'd prefer being under American rule...

US will always have a hand in iraq. and with iraqs location near iran, and iran's refusal to stop uranium enrichment, it will be a cold day in hell when the US gives up its only stake in the middle east.

Because god forbid that Iran should have (relatively) environment friendly electric power! I mean, America should have it because they're such sane chaps. They'd never use nukes (apart from against Japan, and really who cares), they'd never fund or stock people who employ terror tactics (apart from Saddam, but hell you just blitzed his country to prove that he no longer had the weapons you sold him years back so I guess it's kinda balanced out. So what if the civvies can't get to hospital, or drink from their taps) and they'd never invade another country (apart from Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq ... twice ...). Compared to the dirty dirty international actions on the part of Iran, who are CONSTANTLY invading other countries and fingering the launch button for those abundant nuclear weapons.

You will excuse me for saying so, but if I we're not ok with Iran having nuclear power, why the hell do we let America stock nukes? Who are we to say that Iran must use coal power (and chuck out ton after ton of CO2) if they want to boil a kettle?

i guess ur right. iran is no threat. not like theyre "friends" with russia, japan, or north korea who all hate us or anything. whats NOT safe about letting a country run by religious extremists who preach a message of hate and murder towards americans have nuclear capabilities. wheres my head at?
