Our failure with Iran started in 1979 when we failed to carper bomb them around the clock after they took our embassy personnel captive.
And whenever these scumbags got caught being behind attacks like the Marine in Lebanon up to the bounties offered for dead Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq we emboldened them.
Add in that if global oil prices spike the probability of a global economic slowdown or recession grows exponentially.
This is what happens when you do not come down hard on fanatical behavior when it first raises it ugly head.
