Iran Stirs Up Violence in Iraq

I seriously doubt the left is going to pay attention, but it can't hurt to try.
The denunciations of Iran, among the most public attacks to date by Iraqi Shiite groups, echoed the recent concern expressed by President Bush and military officials over Tehran's burgeoning influence in the Middle East. Iran, which is governed by Shiite Persians, has close ties to Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militia that has been warring with Israel, as well as to several of the largest parties in Iraq's Shiite-led government.
Most rational people have been aware of Iran's fingerprints on the increasing violence in Iraq, against Iraqi civilians. Is now a good time to "take them out"? If we could, our troops could come home a lot faster. The Iraqis themselves need to start stepping forward to secure their own country from those who promote the divisions. I'm at the point I don't give a happy crap if they all blow themselves up, as long as we aren't in their sites. But that's an irrational, emotional response to the increase in violence. I would suggest to the American government...let the soldiers do their jobs, and stop all the wiener whining. Bomb the crap outta the areas that harbor the car bombers, etc. Perhaps the "civilians" will step up and denounce those who are causing more civilian deaths? I doubt it, mainly because of the continued propaganda, from the terrorists, and OUR media. We really aren't the bad guys, but they have satellite TV too, so with our MSM, talking heads, and left wing kooks bombarding through the air waves, you can't really tell anymore.
