    no of course not but Iran isnt posing a threat to our cities. we have no valid reason to "hit them first". it worth the effort to make peace with people who hate us first, before dropping bombs.

    if you think that iran wouldn't sell a dirty bomb, or any other for that matter, to terrorists, you need to rethink things.

    Exactly (hell is freezing over right now :D).

    Besides, not everyone in Iran hates the Americans, you know. They don't want war, they don't want their families dead, nor your families.

    Iran is probably 5-10 years away from producing weapons grade nuclear material. but so far, the IAEA seems to have decent control of the situation.

    but I hear what your sayin 810. I wouldnt put it past them to do that. but if we extend the olive branch first, relations can be fixed. there is a whole generation of young Iranians who do not hate America. peace, through means of diplomacy is always the better option.

    Iran is talking tough but have only made defensive threats.

    you'll have to look at Iraq as a perfect example about the nuke issue. we have no proof of the claims you make.

    besides, Iran's biggest beef is with Israel. if that situation can be solved the world would be a much better place.

    and they just keep getting higher. Are we prepared to have Turkey and Pakistan enter that playground in turmoil?
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    There is a flaw to your question and that is that Iran would never launch a nuclear assault on any country. Your fear of Iran is irrational, fueled by media propaganda of this fictious boogie-man who is hell bent on destroying the old red, white, and blue. To this day there is absolutely no proof that Iran is using their nuclear program for anything other than civilian purposes. All this talk from this administration is nothing more than fear-mongering so that the uninformed masses can nod in agreement to our continued military presence and build up in the region. It's all about oil baby, us, Russia, China know that it's running out and we are flexing our muscle and wiping it out to see who has the bigger dick so we can have control of what's left. It has nothing to do with Iran's nuclear program. It has everything to do with Iran's close relationship with China and Russia. We want a pro-US government in there so we can have first dips.

    The only time the US did a Preemptive Strike was in this current Iraq war, and we all see how that is working out for us.

    If we didn't use Preemptive measures during the friggin Cold War,then why would we do it now.

    The USSR had way more weapons to destroy us then Iran ever has or will.

    thats funny. you think china is the "top dog" in the world? I admit, they have potential, but they are decades behind
  • No world leader, not even Kim Jong Il, is suicidal. Crazy maybe, but not suicidal. Everyone knows if they nuke us even once their country will become an uninhabitable wasteland overnight.

    this is much ado about nothing.

  • I thought Putin was supposed to get assassinated in Iran. I guess he didn't buy into the hype..

    Just like we sell weapons to Israel so they can bomb beirute and threaten to bomb Iran?

    Your arguments just show how much like "them" you are. It's b/c of people with the mindset like you on both sides, that we are in the situation we're in.

    so are you saying we should be the schoolyard bully that beats up the rest and takes their lunch money? what a good idea. that strategy has worked so brilliantly so far.

    seriously, being a hawk does nothing but inflame the situation.
