I wish guided missiles could distinguish between a revolutionary guard and a child. Iraq proved that it cannot. At some point I thought to myself boy US had made a good move, they removed Taliban which I really hated and now they are removing Saddam. How good Afghanis’ are going to rebuild their country.
I have been proven to be wrong about Iraq and Afghanistan was a ruined country to begin with. Iran’s case would be a catasrophe if a fool attacks it. No reason can justify such a mistake.
Iran’s solution is from inside. There is an opening in Iranian democracy. It needs a tension reduction policy from US and others which will remove the stick Ahmadinejad and Khamenei are leaning to. If there is no serious threat from outside and the economy gets a bit better that populists like Ahmadinejad can’t utilize false populistic economic slogans and people begin to get relieved from their daily bread problem and think about higher issues like freedom, the bottom up pressure will move the country towards the goal of a democratic state which is a friend of the world. Much like soviet union.
