Looking back on this thread, to the people I was debating with, is it fair we can agree on this.
-Bush is an undeniably crappy president.
-Military intervention in Iran is not a good idea.
-Ahmadinejad is a crappy President who leads a country with a horrific human rights record, and if steps besides military action could be taken to stem such violence, they should be.
I think that's all I've been trying to say this whole time, personally.
I agree with your positions.
But I do find it curious that countries outside of the U.S. seem much less concerned about Iran. I'm an American living in Canada right now, and no one here feels as though Iran is any type of threat.
I think you and I were arguing the same things. Only, I assumed that you thought Ahmadinijad was a threat to global peace. And you may have assumed I thought he was a peaceful leader of a very free nation. Maybe we shouldn't assume.
