HEY! (Part 4)

We're nearly ready for that shootin' war in Iran I've been talking about.  The USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) is in theater and the Russians are reporting that the Israelis have been killing Iranian glow-worms.  All this while the Iranians on one side and the US and Israel on the other side have been holding "parallel" war games and t.he US continues to make it rain DoD style in the region while nattering on about regional stability and practicing plausible deniability.

What I don't understand is why we care?  Why is an attack on Israel and attack on us?  Did they, like the French, help us win independence?   Are they exporters of something we need?

Worse, remember the shit that got passed last time we started a war 6000 miles away? What about the crazy stuff that happened last month? Think that's going to get better or worse as we are gearing up to face a nuclear threat, rather than some backwards hillbillies (who still managed to fight us to a draw)?

I wish we'd stop letting this guy dictate foreign policy...
