Enough!

This has been going on for a while, so I thought I would comment on this. Are we really on the right track in terms of foreign-policy?

1. United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001, replacing a regime hostile to Iran.
2. In 2002, United States invaded Iraq, freeing Shiites in the region (do I need to say more?).
3. Iraq war partially caused higher gas prices, helping Iran.
4. United States did not want to interfere with the Lebanon Israel conflict in 2006, Hezbollah pounded civilian targets in Israel and increased its perceived credibility and invincibility in the region.

After all these, no wonder the Iranian president Ahmadinejad is always smiling in front of the camera. I wish Fox news Channel would comment on these rather curious events.
