Please, don't anybody take this thread as an endorsement of Iran..it's not.
But I do have a valid question. I here constantly that Iran is a threat. Iran's president is insane. Etc, etc, etc.
Most of that information comes from the government or from sources closely affiliated with the government.
My question is this: What makes these sources any more correct about Iran than they were about Iraq? All the reasons that were were given for the invasion of Iraq turned out to be erroneous at best, lies at worst.
Most of those same accusations are being made against Iran and many of you are very quickly jumping on the bandwagon.
Wouldn't it be prudent to be a little less quick to believe what we are being told about Iran in light of the disinformation we were fed about Iraq?
