The Bush Dictatorship has nothing to do with Democracy, just look at his working example in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is enough radiation in those Countries to light them up for decades.

Absolutely. And I think you're going to get an example of that pre-emtiveness very soon. Watch Iran, N.Korea and Syria. But probably Iran first.

For the most part yes.  Iraq, Turkmenistan, most of Pakistan and most of Azerbaijan is at a lower elevation. However, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Armenia have similar geographys and in some cases higher elevations than parts of Iran.  (I believe the Hindu Kush Karakoram Mountain Range in Eastern Afghanistan would be higher than any point in Iran, but dont quote me on that) So it really depends on how wholistic of an answer you want.  If it is a straight up Yes/No question....then No Iran is not higher

I agree with Dr. Dee (hey, that rhymes)! Iran is a country in the Middle East. And I think we ought to leave them alone and let the rest of the world worry about them. We do enough worrying about other countries as it is.

I think Iran is far harder nut to crack than Iraq and it would be biggest Bush's stupidity if he try to attack the country at least now. Besides, Iran can't for now threaten anybody with its uranium-enriching level.

None. Israel, which is a holy place for the three major monotheistic faiths, is also one of the most conquered places in the world. Every civilization has proved to be temporary; Babylon fell, Persia fell, Greece collapsed, Rome fell, the Vatican lost its reigns, China and Mongolia have been crushed before, Britain has lost much influence, Soviet Union has fallen. And like my Greek teacher, I believe America is suffering its downfall and it wont reverse itself unto greatness.

Unfortunately I don't think we'll be able to keep Iraq together now that sectarian violence has taken over the country. Iran is clearly helping the Shiite militias with resources as they are supporting Hezbolla in Lebanon. Like it or not we should be talking with the Iranians about this and other things. However even Sadr has lost control of the militias. There's just an ineveitable bottom that has to be hit before this thing wears out. I remember a similar situation in South Viet Nam. The South was corrupt and it's army unable to stand up to the North. As soon as we left it all fell apart. Iraq was a creation of the west. Rival ethnic groups held down by a merciless dictator. Bush and his advisors completely underestimated the divisons in that country. Sadam was like a cork in the bottle. Maybe an international force of non-western nations might be able to restore order but it would take hundreds of thousands more than we have there now. The current prime minister has to go and the interior ministry needs to be purged of the criminals and assassins using their positions to carry out personal vendettas. Twice in my lifetime the bright boys in Washington have tried this and twice they've failed. My Dick Cheney and his like will finally stop trying to refight the Viet Nam war.

I agree that this is obvious.  Iraq was probably the hegemon in the Middle East before the US invasion, though Iran had already been clamoring for increased power and influence in the region.  Now that Iraq has fallen into great turmoil, Iran now has an opportunity to increase its influence and establish itself as the leading Muslim nation, much as the US is considered the leading democratic nation.  Iran has much to gain from a destabilized Iraq, and is thus contributing to the violence through weapons sales.

We're right next door in Iraq. Iran's president said he doesnt believe in the holocaust and now Bush is going to attempt to steal his oil with his ever so faithful weapons of mass destructions speech again.

There is a location in present-day Iraq that the locals associate with the biblical garden of Eden. (I think I saw this in National Geographic.) This is understandable since Mesopatamia is known as the cradle of civilization. Today, garden of Eden is usually understood more in a literary sense than an actual historical one.

Maybe it has to do something with the fact that Iraq is located in one of the most strategically valuable areas in the world, and the fact that it also happens to be one of the most unstable areas of the world. Just like after WWII we build bases in Germany, to be close to Russia and central to Europe.  \n\nNow we are central to all of Africa, Asia, Middle East and Europe.  Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and so on are all a short flight.  Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

YES; Iraq/Iran have caused more trouble for the Middle-East than anyone in the Muslem World. And the Iranians are'nt Arab, they're Asiatic Islam's.
