		<description><![CDATA[Actually, Carter started &quot;Operation Cyclone&quot; in late &#039;78, after the Afghan commie party, puppets of the USSR, took over Afghanistan.  The operation was meant to force the Soviets to pour resources into defending their puppet government. They ultimately invaded.  By the time that happened Carter only had a few months left as president, but he&#039;d already been funneling arms and training via the CIA to the mujahedeen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is no operational link between Iran and Al Queda.  
You should be asking the question, &quot;What about the robust and assertive foreign policy leadership we took against the USSR in Afghanistan, by arming the Taliban and Osama bin Laden, which ended with 9/11?&quot;  [Please note:  I am not criticizing the US for injuring the USSR by using the mujahedeen as a proxy.  I just want to establish that every action has a reaction and we have to think far ahead of just today&#039;s step.]
You are using &quot;strong leadership&quot; in &#039;79 as a eupehmism for war against Iran.  You tell me why all the generals under Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama have said that waging a war against Iran is not a good move, even given the threat it poses.  
I expect that there is a cost-benefit-risk assessment doesn&#039;t come to &quot;war.&quot;  Perhaps a rotten but predictable Iran is better than the possibly even more rotten and fully unpredictable Iran which could come out of a warred-upon Iran?  
Leadership doesn&#039;t always mean swaggering and warring all over the planet, Kimberly, some times it means restraint.  Americans used to know that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Eralybird, are you suggesting there is no connection between Iran and Muslim Brotherhood?&quot;

Absolutely not.  In fact, Iran and the MB are kindred spirits. I stated there was not some &quot;axis&quot; between the former MB-run Egyptian government and Iran, as the author implies or openly states, and that there will not be one, as long as the military continues to run the show in Egypt.

&quot;You think Iran does not have links to Islamist groups?&quot;

What ever gave you that idea?  Not only do they have &quot;links&quot; to Islamist groups, Iran is the Mother of All Islamist Terror Groups.

&quot;In your other comment, you also suggested that the jury was wrong and Zimmerman should be punished...&quot;

Completely wrong again.  In fact, I have repeatedly stated that the Zimmerman verdict was correct under the law, though I believe Zimmerman bears some moral culpability for the entire tragedy.  

Greg, are you just disagreeing with someone for the purpose of disagreeing?  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eralybird, are you suggesting there is no connection between Iran and Muslim Brotherhood? Are you living in a hallucinatory planet? You think Iran does not have links to Islamist groups? In your other comment, you also suggested that the jury was wrong and Zimmerman should be punished. First, It is inappropriate to attack the jury, second this is the land of law.. if you dont like the verdict... just live in other land. It seems you are one of those angry Muslims who is labeled himself as earlybird...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The last time the US took &quot;robust and assertive foreign policy leadership&quot; in the Middle East we knocked off Sunni-led Saddam, Iran&#039;s greatest nemesis, and replaced Iraq&#039;s leadership with an Iran-friendly Shia basketcase government and is swarmed by Al Queda and other Islamist terror groups.  Not a peep about this in this article.  
And it&#039;s absolute nonsense that there is an Iran-MB axis in Egypt.  Never was and never will be.  The military has always run the show, even under Mubarak, and Morsi couldn&#039;t contain his own cabinet, let alone consolidate Islamist popularity with the Egyptian people.  Did this guy get the news?:  Morsi is out.  
What this guy doesn&#039;t get is that it is a history of &quot;robust and assertive foreign policy leaderhip&quot; in the Middle East, by which he means constantly meddling, control and manipulation of governments, economies and societies, that the US is so hated.  
Let&#039;s stay the f*** out of that hornets&#039; nest to the greatest degree possible.  Let&#039;s stop funding Egypt and Israel.  The former doesn&#039;t deserve it, the latter no longer needs it.]]></description>
