Recently, Thomas L. Friedman wrote an excellent article in the opinion section of the New York Times that reminded Americans that Iran is still a threat regardless of what is happening. He made an excellent correlation that Iran is like a neighborhood drug dealer and there are certain neighbors who want to get him removed. It is obvious as day that he is a drug dealer but the police can do nothing about it because of the strict legal definition. He also makes a very important quote that I found deep with insight. "As I’ve also said before: Some things are true even if George Bush believes them, but good luck getting anyone to buy that anymore. " No other countries want to use economic sanctions just because of business propositions. My cousin and I had an argument when America went into Iraq on why we might as well invade Iran since they harbor terrorists and have capabilities to produce nuclear bombs. His statement seems to be ringing true more than ever.
