I realize that it is slightly more complicated than how we look at it, and as a superpower the US has to try and keep countries like Iran in check.
But, Saddam was doing a perfectly good job of that, and now suddenly Iran is threatening all kinds of stupid crap not even a few years after Saddam has been removed from power.
Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.
It is just strange to me that the US is so willing to approve deals like this, but they like to make a big deal out of environmental reviews and pushing off deals like the Keystone Pipeline.
