War Buddies

This week Newsweek reported that Vice President Dick Cheney had at one point considered asking the Israel government to “launch a limited missile strike on a Iranian nuclear site”. At that point the U.S. government would be given the green light to strike Iran. If this report is indeed true, then I hope the Republican and Democrats Presidential hopefuls take a side note from this story as what one should not do while they are in office. Are we our own terrorists? By going out of our way to get into skirmish with neighboring countries, or getting our allies to do it for us, we are literally opening the door for people to hate us. No one likes to befriend a bully, unless you’re the one reaping in the rewards. Just recently Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated Iran had no need for nuclear weapons and declared Iran will not go to war with the U.S. Now, I can’t say I won’t take his word without a grain of salt, but that goes that same for with the White House repeatedly stating Iran is harboring nuclear weapons.
