When you look at the position of Iraq in relation to Iran it becomes evident that the US picked Afghanistan and Iraq not for the sake of oil which we acknowledge belongs to the Iraqis but rather we went into Iraq to surround Iran. In Afghanistan alone we would have been a sitting duck for the terrorists.
Iran being the ONLY dominantly Shiite country in the world (Iraq being the second most dominated Shiite country in the world.) it would seem only sensible that if we are to liberate Afghanistan which borders Iran we need to surround Iran with Iraq also and then use the hammer and anvil approach militarily if Iran decides to go nuclear.
By surrounding Iran we also confuse the insurgents by giving them multiple targets to divide their efforts.
Islamofascism is a worse threat to the world than all the oil in the middle east. (that should be obvious)
