Bingo, I'm not condoning FOX for doing this.

I am merely pointing out one more sign that a conflict between the US and Iran is coming closer to occurring, which is one scary prospect.


Like MYK and Ikon point out, there has been a lot leading up to this, and as you point out, when news outlets start pumping the public for support of a war... it may only be a matter of time.

What is worse is that Iran is fixing to be the real deal, with nuclear capabilities and all. No more simple plane crashes and psychological attacks, although I am sure that terror/guerilla methods will be a major tactic employed on the ground if a war is fought in the middle east.

How do you think that the actions of the US, in their brief history, have impacted the mindset of the Iranians leading up to where their relationship is today? I can pose the same question in reverse. Both sides in this case are wrong, and leading the world down a road that we do not need to traverse.

The fact is that, fundamentally, the cultures of these two nations are clashing in a big way... and the sad fact is that they each represent two sides that reach far beyond their own borders. Both countries have been making moves for years, and it hasn't come to brinksmanship yet, but it is close. This scares the out of me to think how close they are to triggering something huge.

It seems as though humanity is failing yet again to learn from our past.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world... Russia is making nice with their satellite states, beefing up on their might, allowing foreign interests to develop their resources, flexing their muscle over the European gas network, and pushing into relatively unclaimed resource rich areas.

China is pushing back against US presence in their area and is growing at insane rates.

Are either of these nations to be trusted either? Does the US expect to police this activity as well?

Come on... the last thing I am trying to provoke with this thread is a FOX vs CNN discussion. Read between the lines.
