Iran should draw, as a lesson, from our experiences in Viet Nam and Iraq and step away from the situation.
Having said that, Iran's meddling in the internal affairs of another nation is but a mirror of the profounfly destructive influence and interference America has visited in virtually every other country on earth.
This didn't start with GWB's 2000 election campaign declaration that our foreign policy would be determined and directed by what is in America's best commercial/corporate interests but during his administration, that policy has been elevated almost to an art form. Mr. Obama has since continued in the same vein.
We need a new paradigm on how we conduct affairs with other countries.
Our own excesses do not excuse those of other countries but as a world leader (and we still are - like it or not) we will need to have the political courage to adjust our foreign policy to one which focuses on the target nation's best interest(s) rather than our own. To be a little more like FDR's "Good Neighbor" policies toward Latin America in the 30's and 40's, for instance, and a little less like Mr. Bush's (and so far; Obama's) "Kick their azzes 'n' steal their gas" policies of the early 21st Century......THEN lay down an unequivocal expectation of other countries to follow suit.
Syria, Iran, Russia...the cold war may be over but alliances still continue. Throw in Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea and others to get a clearer picture. There is the west and others, as long as there is an "us and them" mentality it will continue.
Sooner or later whether it be next year or a few yrs down the road Iran is going to have to finally be delt with.This terrorist regime has held the Iranian people hostage since 1979 and has been responsible for countless terror attacks throughout the world and so eventually its going to have to be removed by military force and we all know its going to the the United States doing this dirty but necessary job.Mark my words everyone,this day is coming soon.
This country does not need to continue this hateful policy of interfering in the internal affairs of another country. It is illegal and against the UN charter, it is also immoral, dishonorable, duplicitous and hypocritical. Change in Iran must be conditioned by the Iranian masses.
No foreign policy! No economic policy! No Jobs policy! No immigration policy! And now an effort to curtail free speech. This fella has really done a number on America.
