What is it about Iran’s behavior that concerns you so much?

In 2001, Iran helped us in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda.
In 2003, Iran sent us the grand bargain, offering to kiss and make up with Israel, wash it’s hands of Hezbollah/Hamas and put it’s nuclear program on the table. What did we do? We ignored it and condemned the Swiss mabassador for passing on the memo (as he was required to do). Very sensible of us.
In Iraq, the government is made up of Iran backed factions, that we helped install. So the Iraqi government is supported by both Washington and Tehran. Imagine that!
Ahmadinejad is one of the few remaining people on this planet who think our invasion of Iraq was a good idea.
Our NIE on Iran tells us that Iran is not pursuing nukes and has no plans to. Even more importantly, it concludes that the leadership in Tehran are indeed rational and aware of the cost benefit on not pursuing nukes.

We keep hearing about Iran’s support for special groups in Iraq, which hasw yet to be proven. After the seizure of huge stockpiles of weapons in Karbala, Patreaus sent down his team to investigate. Not one of the weapons seized came from Iran, not even any of the 520 IED’s among the cache.

So, why the need to bomb Iran? Even Tzipi Livni has said that Iran is no threat to Israel.

On and BTW. Symour Hersh and Gareth Porter have not been as far off the mark as Mr Ledeen would have us believe. After all, had the Russians not discovered the Israeli bases in Georgia, plans to bomb Iran may have already taken place.
