Most US Citizens are oblivious to this fact, but Iran declared war on us back in the 1970's. While we had been otherwise engaged for a few decades, the Iranian government continued operations.In response to the horrific events of September 11, 2001, The United States correctly shifted focus from a defensive nature to an offensive one as it was recognized that we are engaged in a global war on terror, whether we sought this or not.
Post WWII and up until September 11, the nation or group that has taken the most US lives was a terrorist group called Hamas, which is a military and political arm of Iran. The Hamas efforts continue regularly, most notably recently with the kidnapping of a group of British soldiers. Hamas also battled Israel a few years back, an event which was covered by news channel operations 24/7.
Orchestrating these events, and verbally and publicly threatening to destruct Israel seemingly on a monthly basis, is Iran and their mouthpiece, Mamoud Ahmandinejad. Ahmandinejad, by the way, is pictured as one of the capturers when our hostages were kidnapped in the late 1970's. Our successful operations in Iraq have uncovered caches of weapons produced by Iran. We have also captured Iranian soldiers and operatives, in Iraq. Thats right, fighting the global war on terror in Iraq, rather than the Cotton Bowl.
Iran is also violating numerous UN resolutions by their quest to obtain nuclear weapons. Demonstrated by their behavior on the world stage, these are not the folks who would responsible caretakers of nuclear weapons. They recently ran speedboats at our aircraft carriers, displaying their brilliance although remaining successful at mind games.
Make no mistake, Iran is the head of the snake in the middle east and central to the global war on terror. An altercation is looming, as the nuclear weapons issue boils over. Israel may just work ahead of us in this effort, which considering the poor support the Bush administration gets on the Iraq effort, may have to do.
The Iranian people are oppressed, and would much prefer a better life than they currently live. Our problems are with the Iranian regime, not the Iranian citizens. None the less, major problems exist and thanks to our position in Iraq, we have a strong platform for future operations, which I fear, will soon become necessary.
