How did I forget that?

Nor should we lay our lives down for these places that are just total shit. But don't turn around and ask us why we will not come and help anymore, because hopefully those days are over. Countries want us to help only when it is their own self interest. Hey, that sounds just like the US.

Completely agree. If a country is ready to become a democracy, they can do it themselves.

Because it is a fact completely ignored in this situation. Not only ignored, it is down right denied. The fact that Iran is the fuel of the fire needs to be repeated hourly.
