It is not those countries that are threatening Iran! In the unlikely event that Iran attacked anyone, it would be against Israel, Saudi Arabia or one of the Gulf states. Those are the countries, with the connivance of the US, that are threatening to attack Iran, not eastern Europe.

If they are to defend against Iranian missles, why in the hell are the bases way up along the Polish-Russian border? Why wouldn't the bases form some sort of ring around Iran if that's who they're protecting against? Secondly, why is the US the country busily building and lobbying for these bases? The alleged Iranian missles aren't threatening the US at all! If Europe feels threatened by Iran then why doesn't Europe build the bases and the US butt out? The answer is twofold: 1) The US's goal is to dominate the entire world. These bases are just one little building block in that process. 2) A specific US goal is to encircle Russia and China with bases and missles so they (Russia & China) can never threaten peoples outside their borders. The US seems to miss the point that it is the US, through its hegomonic activities, that is the primary impediment to world peace, and the primary cause of terrorism and unrest around the globe.

Why increase militirism around the world? If Afghanistan didn't have an army before, why are we forcing one on them now? One they can't even afford to maintain already! There is no rhyme or reason to what is going on over there.

Will Israel attack Iran in 2012 for the same reason?

If the CIA is sending spies around the world, (isn't that what the CIA was created for?), isn't this the type of individual they would want to recruit? Somebody that can fit in, in the target country? And of course he would be told before going, "If you get into trouble, we will deny everything".

Being responsible for the goings on in the entire planet is such an awesome responsibility, but thankfully **Rick Santorem** has thought about all this, and has the wisdom to know what is best for all of our territories. After all, he has 7 kids, and is Catholic, and believes in God. With his vast experience and store of knowledge, certainly he can be trusted to do God's will.

This is the kind of US arrogance that makes my blood boil. It has to stop. It seems like US officials regard all the other countries of the world as subject to US control and US directives. The US considers itself ruler of the entire world, and all other countries are mere counties in its empire.

Why can't they just say "no" or "go take a hike"? There must be some other lever that the US is using, beyond personal, one-on-one pressure. Is it the thousands of US soldiers in their respective countries? Is it some historical respect for the US that is now misplaced? When are they going to wake up?
