Spot On. Iran has no interest in war with the US. It has absolutely nothing to gain. It knows it can't possibly win. I think most Americans just assume that all Iranians are stupid. It's American arrogance. It's a country that has successfully developed nuclear technology. They're far from being stupid. Why would it attack the US, knowing it would result in their destruction?
Iran is an emerging powerhouse in the region. It's flexing its muscles. It's letting the world know it's arrived. It's demanding respect. And honestly, if the US hadn't committed the Iraq War blunder, Iran wouldn't be in the powerful position it's in today. The Iraq War handed Iraq over to the Shiites, who are aligned with Shiite Iran. It's why i say we need to begin moving towards a disengagement policy in the Middle East. Our constant meddling has set the region ablaze. We need to scale things back bigtime.
