Democrats and Republicans can always be counted upon to be united in one thing - opposition and confrontation with Iran.
The relentless hostility of both parties towards Iran is baffling to me.
What is Iran’s threat to the United States exactly? Iran has no military capability that can extend itself over 7000 miles to reach the US, however the US seems manifestly fixated with the goings on in Iran. Clearly this is just another example of the US playing the role of “Global Cop” for the benefit of the Saudi Arabian oligarchy as well as Israel.
Republicans constantly rail against government entitlements such as welfare while simultaneously Democrats rail against corporate welfare and yet both parties have absolutely no qualms subsidizing World Order for the benefit of countries that have proven they have their own best interests at heart!
Why is the US the thought leader when it comes to additional sanctions against Iran? What business is it of ours to protect countries like France, Saudi Arabia and Israel that have absolutely every means and resource at their hand to defend themselves against this arguably 3rd world country.
There was a great deal of hope that Obama would see the futility of such useless foreign policies but it appears that it will take even more visioned leadership to move the US past its role as global bully.
