Default Re: Chris Matthews surprising honesty on US-Iran relations

Then I think we agree. However, I don't believe Vietnam = Iraq or a potiential conflict with Iran = Iraq. Each situation is different and needs to remain in that context.

The ramifications of invading another country without finding WMD if the reason for invasion was WMD would be our already weakened credibility in the world would be reduced even further and would weaken the US's overall security and result in the loss of life on both sides.

Personally, I don't think an invasion of Iran is even remotely possible, but that doesn't mean there won't be military action.

Morph, mutually assured destruction assumes that both parties are rational actors.
