Scott Ritter on Iran

This is a really interesting article. I found it to be totally reflective of my own ideas and knowledge of the "situation" in Iran. I've had a soft spot in my heart for Iran since we were born (fitting time to do so).
Obviously, I have a problem with theocracies, but I live in one, so I can't be too critical. Ritter brought up my biggest fear in regards to Iran in saying
In our haste to lash out at those who attacked us on September 11, 2001, we forget that Iran not only condemned the attacks, as did its Hezbollah allies in Lebanon, but that it nearly fought a war against Afghanistan's Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies in the late 1990s.
I only fear that the American people still haven't learned their mistakes of Afghanistan and Iraq. People hear "middle east" "Islam" "WMDs" and it strikes a panic button. Not saying that N. Korea is even a threat...but why not the massive media campaign to the Pacific?
Any who. Thanks for the article!
