Do you know the last time we tried to bring Iran "into our sphere of influence"? And how did that work out? (hint; it was 1952 and our actions then arguably set the conditions that led to the 9/11 attack) I don't see this as a realistic approach to the problem.
Not saying I have the solutions, but we can avoid repeating mistakes of the past. One thing I would like to see as a non-interventionist type approach to foreign policy. This coupled with a break from foreign oil dependency would solve a great deal of our problems....in my humble opinion.
Just my thoughts.....
