America may not have endured enough provocations to attack Iraq ... yet. But the renegade country is certainly doing everything possible to antagonize the US, led by the public boasts and outbursts of its pipsqueak President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He's pushing puppet crowds into his streets just about every day to wave signs and shout in front of cameras, "Death to America!" However, are words and demonstrations of hate enough for the US to mount a military attack?

Now, the Iraqis have chosen to make the situation even worse, and are certainly creating logical reasons to attack them. American military sources have stated recently that there is definite proof that Iranian weapons have been used on US troops, vehicles and helicopters in Iraq. The deadly accuracy of ground-to-air missiles has improved greatly in the past several weeks, resulting in the deaths of many US troops in helicopter crashes. It is obviously because of the equipment furnished by Iran.

There's no doubting the evidence shows the numbers and quality of street weapons have increased greatly as new Iranian equipment reaches the terrorists in Iraqi cities. Further, it is also likely that "volunteers" from Iraq are instructing and personally directing fire at US targets on the ground and in the air.

Should America attack Iran? How much more provocation is needed before a sworn enemy deliberately kills any more GIs?
