Let's see, Iran was tagged by the U.S. Justice Dept. for being behind the Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed scores of Americans. They are driving quickly to pursue nuclear weapons and have an advanced missile program. They are active terrorist sponsors including openly backing and arming Hezbollah. They are a nation we have fought in the recent past; primarily in the late 1980's that saw the Navy's largest naval battle since WWII. Yup, no problem here.

Geez, I guess 9/11 has taught us nothing. I guess nuclear weapons in the hands of anti-western Islamic states with terorist ties is nothing to worry about at all. Nope, no threat to our national security there.

If you were 'asleep' before 9/11, that is really not a cause to invade Iran but an appeal to an abstraction in attempt to end debate.

And so is Saudi Arabia. They've been sponsoring terrorism for years and continue to do so. Don't see any calls to oust them. Oh, I forgot, they're our 'allies'

It taught me quite a bit. And probably turned me even more to the right than I have ever been. Note that it did not necessarily make me into more of a 'all war, all the time' supporter either

Iran will be overthrown by its own people within a few short years. They are pro American. So you want to nuke them back to the stone age to help them along in their struggle to be free. Why dont you go join the Israeli Defense Force. I bet they would take you and give you plenty of opportunities to kill them infidels (I mean Muslims).
