Just tone down the headlines.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

The journalist is fine. The editors who put up the headline should be spoken with.

It would be a disaster to threaten the Iranians in any way just now. A democratic Iran without the taint of outside influence would be a very influential force within the ME.
The whole notion that the US is going to 'deal with' Iran after Iraq is a perfect example of the american foreign policy problem. For my money, the lack of a coherent foreign policy is the most serious deficiency of US politics.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Absurd statement: assuming this admin. actually gets re-elected (nothing besides Iraq would be done during term number 1. too much on the plate already), if we have had this much troublegoing after Iraq, a state everyone recognizes as a rogue state, then what chance do we have against Iran and Syria, states that have a far better international standing than Iraq?
"dealing with them" with force is utterly out of the question, "dealing" with them another way..what way? sanctions? We already sanction them, and no one else will join us, as they have not done till now.

Just becasue Iran has made some "Strides" towards democracy doesn't mean they will go all the way. There are alot of people in Iran who want democracy, but Iran is a large country and there is a substantial minority that does not want democracy. Just because they might be appeasing the people with some democratic reforms does not mean they will give up power. Iran's leaders are religious extremists who believe that they are ruling on behalf of God- meaning they are not likely to relinquish power. Their religious extremism also leads them to support terrorism and be a sworn enemy of the USA. I do not think Iran's theocracy will fall without bloodshed."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

Since when is it our problem to worry about it?
If the US was stupid enough to embroil itself in Iraq, Syria and Iran, then you could guarantee an upsurge of Islamic fanatacism the likes of which you've never imagined. Every bit of propaganda about the "Crusaders" being at war with Islam would be played out, the US military would be totally overcommitted and dependent on untrustworthy proxies, and the US would find out what "going it alone" really means.
The Iranians may want democracy, but they sure as hell don't want foreign imposed democracy. The single best way to encourage support for the fundamentalists and bring everyone together is to threaten Iran.
The worst thing about stories like this (which are marginal in terms of real credibility) is that the chickenhawk twits that run our foreign policy are just dumb enough to think this way.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016.

Let's see what sort of 'democracy' America sets up in Iraq first. Frankly I do not expect much, certainly no better than the warlordism in Afghanistan. Chances are, even after the invasion and occupation, Iran will still be more democratic than Iraq.
I doubt that America is seriously considering invading a country with a population of 66 million. The number of casualties would be staggering.Comment
