    This all just saber rattling. Everyone involved has to act as if they have the bigger balls.

    I firmly believe this too. no way will we go to war with Iran. too many reasons for it to be impossible. lack of resources, entire administration leaving in a year, no support from congress, the american people, the world, no PROOF, Iraq failures, and so on...

    both of your statements are dead on.

    Here is a good editorial piece in the Christian Science Monitor about an attack on or war with Iran.

    can someone explain why a war with iran would do any good??

    they clearly dont want to attack us...and until they do...why worry about them being an enemy...it doesnt make sense for them to attack us.


    why is everyone creating them to be our worst enemy..


    what is the logic here...must the U.S. have an enemy at all times?

    The answer to that is yes. The military industrial complex needs us to have a boogie man in order for them to make money. The government needs an external enemy so that the masses do not realize how much our very own government has become our enemy.

    True but is that someone a viable threat. I'm sure Saddam would have loved to see the US crumble but he did not pose a viable threat to us. Same goes for Iran.

    if someone you knew was unstable, and threatened to kill you, what would you do?

    at some point you have to take them at their word.

    810wmb, do you think it's wise for the US to go into yet another war?

    Well I wouldn't kill them first that's for sure.

    Pre-emptive war is never a good policy simply because it makes you the aggressor. We are suppossed to be better than that.

    would you be willing to give up your life and yr friends life by having yr city hit first, before striking, so that we aren't the aggressor?
