Irrational to bluff the USA in order to keep up the appearance of parity with a much stronger neighbor Iran. When the US sent the whole 3rd Fleet over to the Gulf in January 03 he should have blinked. We had not done any sort of massive flotilla deployment like that in decades.

Maybe. However, he saw Iran as a greater existential threat than the US after the carnage of the Iran/Iraq war. I have to also believe he believed that the Mullahs were less rationale and more warlike than Bush/Cheney. On that count, he may have been wrong.

Yeah, Saddam was more rational than Bush

My point was Dubya may have been less rational than the Mullahs. In retrospect, the Mullahs didn't rush into another invasion of Iraq and we did. What's that tell ya?

Fuck Carter, go build houses.

I respect Carter: It takes great courage to speak, articulate ones conscience especially concerning unpopular opinions. Moreso if such make one appears weak.

America is enamored with the man of steel cult. I am more referring to theTrumanesgue and not the actor Reagan with his pathetic Lebanese show and ballyhooed invasion of a postage stamp size island.

I say to Carter build more houses and continue to voice your views.

I would take Carter over George W. Bush without a second thought...oops without W we would not President Obama...hmmmm.

Slam Dunk!

That's like your grandmother not liking you or something.

That'll never happen. The Arabs and the Persians hate each other more than they hate America. For Israel they might put aside their differences just long enough for Tehran to get nuked by the Israeli's.
