Reader comment on item: Obama's Misplaced Mideast Optimism
in response to reader comment: Some praise is due
Submitted by Joe Six-Pack (United States), Oct 26, 2011 at 14:12
The plot to assassinate the ambassador of Saudi Arabia IS an act of war. It was to be commited on our soil. And we are ignoring it.
We can expect more overt acts of war against the United States in the future.
If Iran feels that they can commit acts of war against us, why would they not do so against Iraq and any other country that they don't get along with?
