We've got all sorts of ideas but we just don't know. One thing is for sure, the Middle-East is in worse shape than it was before we decided to play "Occupy Iraq." I hope one very important lesson is learned from this stain of a war, and that is just because you have the quote "most powerful military" in the world and lots of American dollars to throw at any problem that arises it doesn't buy us a solution. This is why you don't elect presidents for their corporate ties, i.e. Bush. Because once they obtain the reigns of power they treat our government like a shareholder's meeting. America needs money like any other nation but money should not BE America. This country has become nothing more than another means to obtain money. When this planet is near death, which, let me assure you, isn't too far away now, Money isn't going to buy us sh.it! Truth is we don’t know what the hell is going to happen. We’ve got all sorts of ideas but we just don’t know. One thing is for sure, the Middle-East is in worse

Iraq and Iran will end up together, I am convinced of that. Not as a military takeover. That would be stupid.

The revolutinary gaurds, the Cleric appointed supreme council, and the President. It started with the voting in of the last president by the people for a relaxation of some of the strictures put on them since the revolution to be governed more domacratically. This made the governmental institution is Iran afraid that he country was being taken over by more moderate aspects politically who wanted a greater relationship with the west. The ones in power in Iran is making changes to keep a hold on their positions of power in the country. So now there's a purge of moderate politicians and reformers being fired and pulled from postions of change.Iran has always wanted to be a major if not the major force in the middleeast. Besides the nuclear issues, there's also Irans intentions on the country it borders ....Iraq. Both countries have a large and dominate population of Shites.

And how have our policies effected the power grabs of hardliners like these? It occurs to me that people in neighboring Islamic countries seem more and more nervous at the prospect of being invaded, so they're voting guys like this in to protect them. An unfortunate side effect from the WOT?

Iran is a mess politically these days, but why are these developments bad news? Iran's government gives much too much power to the presidency, but we've known this for years.
