I never said that Iran is not a threat. But I believe Iran is a pretty decent society, and the younger Iranians are reasonably educated and westernized enough that Iran will most certainly become more moderate over time.
I'm also saying that in Iran, they probably do a better job taking care of their orphans.
And it's not difficult to see why most Iraqis want us to leave, and why they think it's OK to kill US troops. We're supporting an incompetent and corrupt government and delaying the inevitable filling of a power vacuum. We might even be better off installing a dictator who is popular among Iraqis and willing to be partially loyal to us.
