We needed to "contain" the USSR and stem the spread of communism and we did to a point.
iran containment, I'm sure they're happy with that while they go on developing their nuclear capabilities.
We are not going to be able to "contain" iran from exporting terrorism on a global scale, or training terorists, or funding terrorism.
Containment works great for those countries that seek world domination, not those that would welcome being left alone to their own devices.....
Who's making those "sophisticated" IED's and supplying them to the terrorists in iraq? oh, that's iran, not much containment there I guess. Please spare me the containment strategy......
What was your day job again?
