#6  #5 If it's OK for Iran to have nukes then why would any other arms be a problem?

Iranian nukes and war-drumming
Only portend the satans' succumbing.
But conventional arms
Might be used to bring harms
To nice Muslims who don't have it coming.

#4  Dave D. pointed out about a decade ago that we attempted to democratize them for the sake of our souls, not theirs -- so that we could explain to our grandchildren that we gave them a fair chance before we went back and turned it all to glass and dust. He has a jaundiced view of humanity, particularly the Muslim variety, does our Dave D. Very Heinleinian that way.

#1  Freeing a country from a murdering tyrant, constructing the largest US Embassy in the world and staffing it with hundreds of US State Department diplomats failed to bring about a positive, Pro-U.S. gov't and effective diplomatic solutions ?

What could have possibly gone wrong ?
