    Let's see when the Iranian regime gets a hold of their nuclear arsenal, and then I'd love for you to say the exact same thing. :)
    And Iran hasn't just declared war on Israel, they have declared war on the Western and the Judeo-Christian values. Israel is just the front door they have to get through to reach Europe and the US.



    Maybe we should listen to them?

    Funny isn't it how those with nukes are so passionate about others not getting them?

    I agree with Thatcher, a world without them is just as dangerous. But that means that the sane people can have them, the Iranian regime is not sane.

    Not my views sunbeam they're the ones killing each other and perpetuating their banal religious struggle - would it be just way to radical to stop killing? Nah...... its easier for those in the background to exploit the dumb religious schmucks by whipping them into a permanent state of hysteria, easier to manipulate them into following the agenda.

    So let them kill each other and be done with it.

    They are your views

    You said you would be happy for both sides to blow each other to pieces.

    That kind of brutality breeds brutality.

    It is the kind of asinine statement you expect from mentalists like Gipper who think gunboat dilpomacy is the only way.

    Because of their own inadequacy.

    Saudis give Israelis free pass to attack Iran. What happens after the attack is difficult to predict and could be very ugly...

    An air strike does not automatically start a war.

    steve , I am pretty sure has no idea what he is talking about...but I think point he is trying to make...not that its relevant at all...is that Obama will launch a strike...our armed forces will get in a "war" but so long as congress does not call it that, its like Nam or Korea...Police actions...but not war...

    But since the real point I think was, to say, Liberals are wimps and will not attack terrorist because they are little hippies or something...Ignoring the large support from the Dems on these types of strikes against targets....

    Liberals are weak on terror...while the Right talks about pulling out of Afghanistan..because Obama said to send more...had a Republican said it, they would say it was for the security of our nation and all that...its just playing politics...the facts and if the point is valid or not...not realy important

    Actually if ANY of you knew anything about Iran, or human nature for that matter when its ideology differs from your own, you might understand that the rest of the Middle East dislikes Iran almost as much as they all dislike the existence of Israel.

    Iran is over 90% Shia, while the rest of the Middle East, other than Iraq is predominantly Sunni. Since we all know that Islam is such a benevolent religion, and one nostril hates the other, I imagine the rest of the Middle East will descend on a weakened Iran like....
    jackals? Iran does have a great deal of wealth for the taking.

    Is Russia going to help? Probably, as soon as they figure out how to feed their people, as usual, because the grain crop is dust due to the fires.

    Is China going to help? Do you think China doesn't want Iran's wealth? Do you think China needs or will listen to the Ayatollah? yep.

    Mahmoud the monkey faced muslim is tolling the death knell for Iran with his blathering rhetoric.

    Israel might attack Iran. I believe it would be a fatal mistake. After their utterly disastrous war with Hezbullah, they can ill afford another, much broader one, either economically, politically, or strategically. So they will more likely lean on their political big brother (the U.S.) to do it for them, or else just wait for the evangelical right in this country to declare it the prelude to the coming apocalypse, and demand yet another idiotic war their over-priviledged children won't have to fight and die in.

    No, Maam. I served in the 1st cav after Vietnam, and was fortunate enough not to have to see combat because we weren't fighting anyone at the time. But had we gotten ourselves into yet another quagmire at that time, you can rest assured that I would have been there covering you're arse. And you? ;)
