US to lead an assault on Iran?

[Mazzz27]

One of the obstacles that threaten the stability of Iraq is Iran. You think possibly that if Iran is kept defending themselves they will be too distracted to invade Iraq? All the more reason for the US to lead an assault on Iran. God forbid

[InNoViSiOn]

Only time will tell. Let's hope we don't have to invade Iran cause I sure as hell don't wanna go there

[Blyane]

InNoViSiOn - I am right there with you on this one!!

[Darren77th]

not going to hqppen. Obama does not have the courage or balls to do a move like that even if its in tje best interest of national security. That being said if I am proven wrong and an order is given to attack Iran might I suggest we bomb them back to the stone age and let them rebuild their own country. No troops needed.

[Brink]

Seriously, if we bomb Iran they will undoubtedly bomb Israel. They do not have anything that could reach us so they would retaliate against Israel and we all know that "Israel can do no wrong..." and "...Israel is our only democratic foothold in the middle east"! And Waaaah waaaah waaaah we need Israel b.s. With that in mind we wouldn't provoke Iran. Israel, on the other hand would and expect the USA to back them up.

It could start off a nuclear war if we interfere in iran. It would have to be well planed and we would need china and russia to stay out. If israel strikes Iran, Iran would retaliate and because of the vulnerable position of Israel they would take severe hits. This could lead Israel to use nuclear missiles- and if russia or china are not onside it could lead to a possible world war 3. I suggest we hurt them economically or leave them alone it would be to bloody a war

I don't think leaving them alone is really an option at this point. If they get the bomb we will the first target. They will do it themselves or give it one of the numerous terrorist groups to do it. Sanctions wont work because China and russia will not go for it. Iran is their main supplier of oil. I am very afraid this is going to lead to WWIII. Wars through out history have benn fought over resources. One of the major reasons Japan attach us in WWII is the they felt they did not have enough oil to sustain a prolonged war with us. So they attepted to cripple us in swift stroke. This is bad. Prepare now.

Do you not understand or know of the Book of Revelations?

This coming day and time has been well written of and all the road signs as we are traveling down it ever faster leading to: The Battle of Armageddon

For generations we wondered how. Look at the Lunatics leading Iran and who backs them Russia and China and what each wants and believes about them selves, there in lays the logic and reason!

[tandy]

people need to seriously study the history of Iran before suggesting invasion or blowing them off the face of the earth...there are hundreds of thousands of their citizens that despise their dictorial government and are pro-western...they have families and friends that would suffer as much or more than their ruthless leaders....that might not be the best way to make friends and improve relationships...

Rememember the Iranian -Contra fiasco and the CIA's involvement...sometimes it seems our leaders are more pro-war than pro peace as they don't have their *** on the front lines...

As far as Iran having nuclear weapons or even trying to develop them is still not agreed on by the different intelligence and nuclear experts...who knows? Just seems like a good time in human history to quit destroying each other and spend our resources on the improvement of life, Mother earth, health, food sources etc, etc.....we can still dream???

[BradyBear]

Great point Tandy, but the good people of Iran and I have met some myself must throw a successful over-throw as other nations in the region have done.

If that were to happen we could see a true birth of Peace and world rest.

If not we all might be lost and down the drain, because China and Russia are backing the Evil Empire. Look at the egotistical leadership of all three!

[Shick]

YES, IT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL DAY INDEED IF EVERYONE'S MIND WAS FOCUS ON HELPING RATHER THAN HURTING. THE HATERS OF THE WORLD DON'T REALIZE THAT THERE IS A PRINCIPLE OF LOVE NOT OF HATE, THERE'S A PRINCIPLE OF RIGHT AND NOT OF WORNG, THERE'S A PRINCIPLE OF GOOD AND NOT OF BAD,. IN OTHER WORDS EMPATHY TAKES A BACK SEAT WHEN THE MIND IS SET ON EVIL; AND THE PRINCIPLES THERE OF. LET'S TURN THIS AROUND TO "LIVE" AND LET LIVE, WHY IS LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR IS SO HARD. AND FOR THOSE THAT PROFESS TO LOVE GOD, KNOW THIS: "THAT WHAT YOU THINK OF YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOUR FRIEND OR YOUR FOE, IS WHAT YOU THINK OF YOUR GOD. WE DON'T HAVE TO HATE, JUST DON'T ASSOCIATE, THEN THERE'S NO SIN. REMEMBER THE ONLY SIN IS IGNORANCE AND SUFFERING IS THE CONCEQUENCES. PEACE!

Did we go into Egypt? No. Did we go into Yemen? No. We did go into Libya after the uprising but Ghaddafi is gone now. Are we going into Syria? No. Will that dictator be gone soon? Yes. Power is truly in the citizens of those countries hands if they have the courage to exercise that power.

The Middle East is changing the old paradigm on their own... hopefully for the better. It will be a slow change but hopefully a democratic one. The people of Iran want that thug gone. He made it by the skin of his teeth last time. The youth of that nation want peace. The scales are weighing in their favor each new day. I think if any change is going to happen it will happen from within like we have just witnessed. If the people need help then we go in and help. When we leave Iraq... old Maliki won't have long in office in my opinion either unless he changes his ways real quick.

[Brink]

Why did I get NEGS on my previous post. Do we not bend over backwards for Israel? Whatever they do, they get a slap on the wrist. They can shell whoever whenever and we (USA) look away as if we didn't notice. But if something happens between two unheard of islands in East Nowhere, the we are going to poke our nose into their business... and yes we did have troops on the ground in Libya. An exploratory mission, it was called. And I wouldn't doubt that we had and have troops elsewhere as well. That is what we do.

Iraqis has nothing to fear from their brothers in Iran. The Iraqi government is skewed toward radical and Shiite idealogy already - achieved mainly from Iranian support. Iran doesn't need to invade Iraq - it is theocratically part of Iran already and all this talk of directing a nuke toward Tehran is fear mongering precipitated, fueled and financed in part by the Saudis who abhor opposing jihadist intent in their neighborhood. Commercial nuclear energy rightfully implies weapon potential but it is just that 'potential' with little proof of Iranian capability. Just look at the recent African and Middle East uprisings. These were primarily wars to overthrow residual authority (monarchies) left over from colonial rule. These are struggles to achieve political and representational parity within the realm of Islam with Iraq being the model. This is a rough time to be a Sunni in the Middle East. The Saudis are being surrounded geo-politically and they continually throw hail mary passes to garner global support for their jihad. Their oil fields are played out and they use what little is left as blackmail in their scheme for dominance. The trouble is...it is too little - too late for them.

[smee2]

Sometimes talk leads to action. And some action leads to talk. What all this might lead to is a couple of gigantic parking lots and air strips in the middle east that didn't exist before. Once the blackened glass surface of the land stops glowing in the dark, that is.

true and i agree mostly to what you said but China knows dam well they need us we are there biggest import/ export avenue to them that creates alot of their wealth. They try to attack us the world is Done and yes this would be a nuclear war and world war 3 possibly the end of humanity if Russia and China stepped in but i doubt that will ever happen. The world would def. be in chaos and very unsafe.

To easyrider and others on this thread I beleive if we leave them alone the people of iran will eventually create their own democracy and will overthrow the current regiem which i beleive most iranians dont want the current regime.What ever happens and I mean this cheekily it could be another investment opportunity for another rollorcoater ride to a revaluation lol

[CrappieShark]

What disturbs me more than anything is that these folks would have no qualms about using Nuclear bombs. Muslims view Americans as infidels or people with no eternal souls. As such to them we are dogs and they live in an era of time we would call Old Testament. They feel as though America needs to be completely eradicated from existance. You cannot impute to them the mindset that we in America have. It is an eye for an eye there and then off with your head. If we in America ever see war here in America then our live and let live ambiguity will be exorcised. When our wives are raped and our children are killed then you will have another think on leaving them alone. Allowing them to have Nuclear capability definitely means someone is going to die. American s wont want a Muslim president then.. Muslims always will feel that way about Americans whether they are president of America or Arabic. War is not pretty and we have been protected from war and the harsh realities of it here in the USA. WW3 will change that. Then America will understand the realities of Build a strong military and keep it the strongest on earth. We have been attacked from within and have non American people in politics in our country. Socialism has never worked because somebody has to dictate who gets what. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We cannot allow the Federal Government to become more powerful than the voice of the people. Even Jesus said if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief came he would not have allowed him. When a thief comes and does not care if you are at home he means to harm you and the way they dealt with that problem back then was to eradicate the problem. Either kill or be killed. You can be silent and allow your enemies to build walls of attack on all sides of you and tear down your defenses or you can be proactive and build your wall of offense stronger. If we are passive we are in trouble. The biggest problem we have right now in America is the attack from within in the highest places of our government. They are disarming us and confining us. Truly the enemy is trying to take America without firing a shot. We the people are allowing them to do it. I only speak what I feel to be true. I love this country and will fight to the death for it. What agenda is so important that America has to have a muslim president of non-American descent. Never has there ever been a time in America since Israel became a nation like this time. For once in the history of the world all of the nations of the world would gather against Israel including the Muslim ran America. I see so much Bible prophecy coming to pass. Wake up America!

Just wondering, but all the hatred for Isreal? You wouldn't by chance be a Democrat would you? Your parties disdain for Isreal is unbelievable. I suggest you study history a little more. Isreal is surrounded by enemys. They have almost shpport from the U.N. their greatest ally the USA has a president that feels just like you. Isreal has tries to appease Syria and Palestinians by giving up more and more land, and for what dailey, yes I said daily rocket attacks. Isreal does not shell anyone for no reason. They are the ONLY true ally we have in that part of the world. Yoj sir are an antisemite. You seriously need to wake up and see who the true enemy is because you are truly lost ans are on the wrong side
