My thoughts.
WE MUST GO TO WAR AGAIN. Yet this time we must have some more support. How? I’m not sure.
If we continue to take this pussy foot approach and stand by, Iran WILL have nukes.
We must take that countries capabilities out RIGHT NOW! If we do not, it will be too late.
At the same time we must go after North Korea. We must eliminate their capabilities and change the regime there too.
If we wait, we the damage to us will be 100 times greater than a proactive approach.
Unfortunately the world does not really see terrorism as a worldwide issue or threat. Only the US/UK/Isreal (primarily) are really fighting this war on terror.
The Hezbolla IN Iran are wating for us. We need to go get them before they get past their point of no return when Iran gives them Nukes…or North Korea. Iranians were at the NK missle launches as NK wants to start selling their shit to Iran.
If we wait, the end game will be their play, not ours.[/quote]
Wow, this is some of the most simplistic shit I have ever read on one of these politics threads. WE MUST GO TO WAR AGAIN. Never mind that by any sober, non-politicized intelligence analysis Iran is several years, at best, from a nuke.
Never mind that the U.S. military is, by virtually all accounts (and please spare me the liberal media song and dance), losing in Iraq. Never mind that going to war with Iran would destroy our best chance for a permanent resolution there, as the huge young population (as a result of a government-driven baby boom due to casualties in the Iran-Iraq War) that detests the decaying theocracy is driven into the arms of the mullahs by an attack on their country.
Let me be the lone heretic here on this issue. What happens, if, absolute worst case, Iran gets a handful of nuclear weapons? Is it a good thing? Of course not, it adds an ardent enemy of America to the nuclear club. Are they going to use it? No, of course not. Ever hear of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)?
It kept the Soviets at bay for forty years. If Iran were to nuke New York (if it could) or even Tel Aviv, it would be turned into a sea of glass. They know this. A theocracy, even one made up of those scary Muslims, does not equal a country with a death wish. If you want to do some serious reading on this instead of posting this kind of crap, I’d be happy to email you a longish report that the National Defense University did on the subject about a year back.
