"The Bush administration is preparing to declare that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is a foreign terrorist organization, senior administration officials said Tuesday."
This is the central problem with ignoring the constitution and not declaring war. You don't declare war, then you get an endless conflict where the president can pick and choose which countries he would like to fight next.
This is insanity and it's no way to run foreign policy. Iran has done nothing to us. They have not killed one American soldier or citizen. Sure, they may fund our enemies, but perhaps we should be considering who are enemies should be...

All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

ask the romans!
stupid human beings.
America will cease to exist in just 143 years, or so. That's not much time. 143 years ago, Lincoln was President. My great-great aunt Mary was alive. I was 6 years old when she died.
I blame destiny, too, ahnimus.
damn, destiny.

neither did Iraq...
Where does it leave our troops that are still in Iraq... if we decide to go after Iran? How will the Shi'ite troops we are trainning over there react? Will they align with a non-Muslim nation that is half a world away... or a bretheren religious sect that lives next door?
I know... it's Bush's and Cheney's wet dream to go to war with Iran... but, it's also Usama Bin Laden's, Muqtada al Sadr's and the Ayatollah Khomeni's wet dream, too. The best way to ensure that Iraq will fuse with Iran is to have the decadent, godless infidels of the Great Satan of the West unify them by going to war with them. That is all Jihadist's wet dream.
Hail, Hail!!!

THEY JUST SWITCHED TO THE EURO FOR OIL.

http://politics.netscape.com/story/2006/12/22/iran-turns-from-dollar-to-euro-in-oil-sales/
Did you know Saddam was getting ready to switch to the Euro for oil sales?
Chavez is thinking of doing the same?
Did you know that global oil sales in dollars is essentially THE Global stabilizing factor of our flismy fiat currency? In other words ... the biggest reason our dollar has international strength is because in the 70's we strong armed OPEC in to taking ONLY dollars for oil. Uh oh ... big trouble ...
ALSO
Someone should remind Bush & Condy that our CIA overthrew Iran's FIRST DEMOCRATICALY ELECTED LEADER IN HISTORY back in the 50's ... and then armed SAVAK ... the brutal intelligence orginization of the brutal tyrant puppet shaw we propped up in Mossadegh's place.
So ... uh ... who is the terrorist?
Despite claims by the Bush administration that the United States has always supported "liberty" and "democracy" in Iran, the history of U.S.-Iranian relations during both Republican and Democratic administrations has demonstrated very little support for a democratic Iran. In the early 1950s, the last time Iran had a democratic constitutional government, the United States joined Britain and other countries in imposing economic sanctions against Iran in response to the nationalization of the country's oil resources, which until then had been under foreign control. Taking advantage of the economic collapse and political turmoil that followed, the CIA helped engineer a coup against Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh, and returned Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi from exile to rule with an iron fist.
Over the next 25 years, the United States armed and trained the Shah's dreaded SAVAK (Organization for National Security and Intelligence) secret police, which emerged as one of the most repressive internal security organizations of the era. Despite claims to the contrary by right-wing critics of the Carter administration, the United States strongly supported the Shah until his final days in power, providing valuable assistance to the regime even as it was massacring protestors in the streets. It comes as no surprise, in light of this, that the revolution that finally ousted the monarchy in February 1979 was stridently anti-American. Furthermore, since the Shah's repressive apparatus had largely succeeded in wiping out the democratic and secular opposition to the regime, it was religious opponents—who survived as a result of the greater cohesion made possible through the mosques—who spearheaded the revolutionary movement. Thus, the radical Islamic orientation of the revolution was greatly influenced by the Shah's U.S.-backed efforts to maintain control through repression.

It's definitely for keeping the US dollar popular. The US pushes outwards....resistance pushes back. It's the wrong approach.
180 deg out of phase to what it needs to be.

I agree.
I was merely attempting to point out that the major aggitation to the US here is the FACT that Iran HAS SWITCHED to accepting the euro for oil.
I wasn't even really aware that they HAD, just that as of a few years ago they were discussing it.
Apparently they did this around march, and are accepting pretty much anything BUT dollars now.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
I'm pretty sure Venezuela will follow suit.
I'm sure we are drafting up the invasion \ cia government overthrow\ add you to our terrorist organization list plan as we speak.
actually i bet the plan has been on the books since '04.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
say Wha? I didn't check your links...to busy to get into reading articles right now
The HAVE SWITCHED ALREADY!?....Whoa.. so it's all going hardball now eh?
time for some googling...
