I'm speechless...did the USSR not hate America?

The middle east is a different country, yes, in another time, of course. However if they hate you alot or not..TALKING is more important than action. I would hate to see another Iraq situation..but most of the hawks are going all out on this issue. Going around diplomacy is not a issue. Having another preemptive war, in my opinion, is a grave mistake.
