There was absolutely no truth to the warnings that Saddam was gunning for us but you can take it to the bank that Iran is completely capable of reverting to and effectively using terrorism to strike back at the U.S. if we were to be stupid enough to attack their nuclear installations.
The horror is that Bush and his neocon cronies have demonstrated that they are, in fact, stupid enough.
From Dana Priest at the Washington Post
As tensions increase between the United States and Iran, U.S. intelligence and terrorism experts say they believe Iran would respond to U.S. military strikes on its nuclear sites by deploying its intelligence operatives and Hezbollah teams to carry out terrorist attacks worldwide.
Iran would mount attacks against U.S. targets inside Iraq, where Iranian intelligence agents are already plentiful, predicted these experts. There is also a growing consensus that Iran's agents would target civilians in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, they said.
