In a New York minute. In a heartbeat. Faster than greased lightning. I leave out anything?
Too many hand wring Neville Chamberlains in this world today.
Think back to this hypothetical headline from 1937:
Preventing a Nuclear Germany-- Should Military Force be Used?
The filthbags now in charge in Iran make Hitler look like a 10 year old schoolgirl by comparison.
Should Military Force be Used?
I say yes.
Off the record, the military will tell you this.
Yesterday.
Lets see. Yes, Yes, and Yes.
1. Let's finish up in Iraq first and give the America-hating mullah's time to let it sink in.
2. Give the Iranians the opportunity to overthrow the current regime and implement democracy for themselves.
I am sick to death of Americans dying for and at the hands of Muslims.
If we get into a crises where something has to be done NOW then go ahead ... but even then good luck trying to sell it to the American public.
War with Iran would be disastrous.
The only guarantee the US should give is that of the Bush Doctrine of the preemptive use of force.
Hell yes!
I don't think that military force is really practical against Iran, unless they attack us first. For one thing, it would shut down oil flowing from the Gulf, and that would mean $30 or $40 a gallon gasoline, not to mention a shortage of everything else as well. It would probably trigger a world wide depression. It would be a very bloody war that would be difficult to fight without oil.
Probably the only way the war could be fought as a practical matter would be with nuclear missiles.
Now that's some dangerous hyperbole. The Iranians talk the talk. Hitler walked the walk. Hitler (and Stalin) still make the mullahs look small time. The current Iranian crackpot is more on par with Mussolini, but not as bright.
If we attack Iran we can count on counterstrikes here in the USA. They've had lots of time to plan something.
Can't be applied to the nuclear era. The old law is inadequate. It's not America's or Israel's fault if international law hasn't kept up with the realities of the 20th Century (never mind the 21st).
The clearest indication yet as to why Mohamed Elbaradei did not get the Nobel Prize for IQ!
IMO if Iran had a way to attack us we would have already been attacked. Right now I believe Iran is behind the insurgency in Iraq. Thas said.
Should Iran be atacked militarily Yes
Should the United State ba part of that attack? No. Not unless we are practically begged to be there.
Right now Iran is no threat to the Comntinental United State, while it is a threat to Europe.If the Europeans wish to live under threat from a crazy bunch of persian scum then thats their choice, If they wish to take Iran on with a European Coalition and need Logistic or Air helps then we should supply that. Europe let us down now let them hold themselves up.
