The United States of America is the worlds most powerful economic and Military nation in the world. We end forgin governments that put fear in their people and take their freedoms. The only problem we have is we are not careful when choosing who we should get involved with. It was a good thing we invaded Afganistan, because they attacked our nation. We went down the path of trouble when President Bush had decided to invade the nation of Iraq. When we did this everything went down hill and America became a lot less looked at as the "Big man on campus." When the president called for this invasion it went against what his father had said when he declared war on Iraq, "we dont wanna look like the bullet in the middle east." This invasion made the united States look like the bullet and many nations turned against us and began to diskile us. If the president would of played the Iran card right then we wouldn't have as much enemys as we do. With Iran as a major enemy,we made their allies our enemys as well. if the president had played our cards right with them we wouldnt have China, Russia, and Lebanon's Hizballah hating us as much,and we would have better realtions with the Shia Muslims

your very wrong to think that if the US had approaced Iran diffrently that we would have a weaker Sino-Iran. If you know anything about Hezballah you would know that they are fueled by Iran both in military and in money, if bush had looked at the past he would of seen that The president of Iran is doing exactly what Saddam Hussein did, Iran was surrounded by a powerful country that could destroy them so they wanted to look like a contenter in the fight by going along with what the US said, and that was that Iran had a nuclear weapon. We must of known all along because when the public began to push away from bush on the issue of Iran's nukes he all of the sudden got this important information. that they havent had a program since 2003 or 2004 And yes the government of Afganistan did attack the United States because the taliban had complete control over that country, it was the talibans state. We had the opportunity to fix our problems with Iran since the Aytollah, and we didnt take advantage of it. if we would of taken advantage of this new president and opened new doors maybe Iran would of told hezballah to let lebanon to deal with their own problems and to stay of conflict.

the problem with your arugment is you are very one sided and dont look at the other side of the picture. You dont think that if we had approaced Iran diffrently that we wouldnt be so hated in the middle east? If you didnt know Iran and Iraq are enemies, when we took out the dictator we should of asked them to help us rebuild a stable government there, this would of changed Middle Eastern views on the United States and thats a fact. For you to also say that Iran never said that they had nukes is very wrong. They went along with what we said and claimed that they had "advanced" and "destructive" technology that could hurt the United States. Another thing you sated in the argument above is wrong to, the Taliban is in Afghanistan and Al Quaida is a terriorist group based in the once Taliban runled nation of Afghastian. Had we done better with China's ally Iran we wouldnt be so concerned about China taking sides in case of a fight between America and Middle Eastern countries, in fact our speculation of war would be at a far minium compared to now. Again Hezbollah is controled by Iran and better attitudes with them make better attitudes with Hezbollah.
