Fair, I might have misread you. That said, the map paints a false picture, we have soldiers in 180 countries (roughly) at a time, that map could be anywhere and still look like we were the problem. Is Iran the massive threat we were told it is or is it just the radicalized Muslims running it? Does that really matter to the parents of soldiers threatened by Iranian weapons, I would think not. As much as we both tend to question "officials," I do tend to believe the ones screaming "death to america" are my enemy.
Bottom line, not addressing Iran is passive support and passive support is still support, it solves nothing. If we have to fight them, start it now while they are weaker than we are.
