The actually have the bomb now, unlike Iran... they are closer... and their leader makes Irans look sane... \nBush is just pushing this Iran thing to make oil go up... If he wanted to deal with a threat he would talk about bin Laden and N. Korea... both of which are much greater threats... heck one has already killed over 2,000 Amercians on U.S. soil... but it's all Iran, Iran, Iran... \nYes, Iran is a problem, but why should we prioritize them over Osama and N. Korea?

I think this is how Bush sees it. This is an analogy. Iran, Osama and N Korea are all school yard bullies. Osama comes and punches you square and hard in the face and runs away and hides, N Korea is just yelling verbal threats but other than that is doing nothing, and Iran is slowly walking to wards you cracking his knuckles, now who would you see as the immediate threat? George sees it as Iran, I dont know about you but thats just from one "Repub"

My god what are they teaching in the schools these days. Some one said so what we have em, Israel has em..... \n Are you that stupid. If we let Iran have them, then they will end up on your lap one day when you go to eat dinner. That dude is a Nut ball and has already said that his plans is to take Israel off the map. After he takes out Israel where do you think he would attack next? Yes that's right, right here in the USA. Think its to big of a job for him. Well maybe, only because we already took out Iraq(which you probably was against as well)and The Taliban. Good grief what is wrong with you people, Don't you know what a Nuke is. There are to many in the world already and if we let anyone else have them then its that much more of a threat. Especially some mental case. Go USA. I still live here. If you don't like it then move over with them. Be decent for once, Support your president and your country. I still love this place. You should to.

For all we know the leaders of Iran are shilling for Bush and his Neocon buddies. maybe they are simply playing a part in the overall geo-political strategy of peak oil.\n\nDont believe the hype.

You have as much of a reason do bomb Iran as to bomb the white house!\nUS government is crazy! I don't understand how they manage to control the population so well..? Urgently check for microchips in your brains! (and check that you have a heart and just may be a soul while you are at it!!!)

The US doesn't WANT to bomb Iran, however, the US also does not want Iran to develop nuclear weapons.  If other efforts to get Iran to stop their nuclear development program fails, the US will feel it has no choice but to destroy the Iranian nuclear program by force.\n\nHope that isn't too long-winded for you.

well before george "dubya" bush we were viewed as a nation that stood by its decisions and only made a move when we really had to!! 9/11 opened up the flood gates and since then we have  been quick to action, quick to move and act on situations that will only benefit us!!! so in a sense under this president we are a bit more of a threat to peace then iran!!!

Unlike other nuclear powers, Iran said they intend to use the bomb.\n\nThey want to release their 12th Iman from the well in the worst way.

This is all very convenient and farcical. You have the most belligerent nation on the planet, the only one that has used nukes in the past, the one that has the capability to destroy the world many times over, behaving like an empire telling nations what they should or should not do.\nThe assumption that other nations who may want nuclear weapons are "crazy" serves as the rationale for not allowing them to have them.\nIf you paint your adversary like a nut job bent on destroying Israel then everything you do or say will be justified.\nI don't particularly like Iran, a theocratic dictatorship, but one must remember that the primary goal of any dictatorship is to stay in power. Iran knows very well that if they would use nukes on anyone, let alone Israel, they would be wiped off the map.\nThe same reasoning was valid for Saddam's Iraq.\nThe last thing a fledgling dictator like him could have wanted was to create a case for being removed. That's why the alarm by the US govt that Iraq was a threat are ludicrous.\nBut people get easily drunk on propaganda.

I don't think Iran should be invaded by the U.S. because if you notice, this is why the United States is facing so many problems now-they've been trying to invade too many countries and change them into a replica of us!  Have you noticed that ever since Bush came into office our country has been plagued with so many hardships.  Lives are lost unnecessarily and gas prices are ridiculous! The U.S. should leave Iran (and any other country for that matter) alone! Can we please just have some peace and get along?!

Because I think that they are perfectly aware that by the time the first bomb will reach the Iranian land,Israel will cease to exist...Iran has the capability to do this and both US and Israel are perfectly aware of this,otherwise they would have attacked Iran by now...And Israel never cared about world's opinion,so I doubt that they will start now caring about what others say...

Will Israel Strike Iran? I f they feel threatened enough, Yes. They have never  been one to wait and see. Will they use the Nuclears? Not unless they are hit with Nuclears first. Israel has had Nuclear Capability since the 70s.\nWill Iran strike with Nuclears?  No,because they then would be a target for retaliation from the U.S.\n\nWho is the threat ? North Korea, their economy is in the tank,  Their leader  is delusional and wants to rule the world. Their leader doesn't seem to care whether  the populace lives or dies.     What have they got to lose?

First of all, Bush started this because he had to finish Big Daddy's mess up. Sudam would have to go back to Iraq as he is the only one who could repair Bushlers screw up. Fidel is too chicken to go to Kuwait , see that is why he was always sending all the criminals over here . If Iran nukes Iraq it will have to be when they are able to figure out that the reason they are so hostile is because of the oil mongers of the world. They just want us to stay the hell outta their land. Yea, I am having fun , reading all the people call each other infantile and cruel names.

If you must ask short sighted questions, then you can't see beyond the end of your nose.  Iran is a radical country that cannot be trusted.  This is true in any country where Islam rules.  To allow an Islamic state to have nuclear arms to threaten it's neighbors, would surely  draw unpredictable reactions.\n\nAs it is Pakistan has nuclear weapons, fortunately their government has treated this fact responsibly.  Iran, on the other hand, with the president they have today, would not be a candidate for the Nobel Peace prize.  So, your goose and gander example just won't fly.  The fact is, nobody wants Iran to have nuclear power and that includes country's that do and do not themselves, have nuclear bombs.  While you are pointing the finger, point it not just at the US, point it at all civilized nations.\n\nThose same nations do not believe or trust Iran regarding it's intentions for nuclear power.  If they did trust Iran,there would be no issue here.  The fact is, most of the world believes that Iran wants  nuclear weapons capabilities.  So, unless you know more than most nations of the world, perhaps you should think twice before you declare what Iran's intentions are regarding this matter.

Sala'm Aga / Khanum!\n\nDo you want to imply that Iran's case is similar to that of the Iraq during last days of Saddam when he was denying having any WMD and USA was insisting that he was lying?\n\nIn any case, there is a great difference in the analogy. Iran has been more-or-less positively identified by the IAEA to be moving towards a secret nuclear weapons program, as per circumstantial evidences its inspectors and 'monitors' has obtained.\n\nSo, in my personal view, the President of Iran Mr. Ahmedinezad is playing high-wire act and also brinkmanship with the West (not only with USA). I am a Muslim and I worked in Iranian Air Force for two years as civilian specialist and I have no ill feeling for the Iranian people.\n\nGod forbid, if Iranian people had to live the miserable life that of Iraq then it would be solely the present government of Iran that would be held responsible to ignore numerous warnings to refrain from its present belligerent attitude and sit with world community and sort out its differences across the table.\n\nInshaAllah we hope major catastrophe could be averted and Iranians can live and prosper and be the Malaysia of the Middle East!\n\nKhuda Hafez

We ARE NOT ready for a war with Iran.  Bush is sick in the brain and has no idea how to run this country.  He keeps wanting to go to war with all of these countries, some body is going to drop a bomb on us before its over with.  Unless he starts a draft( which I think is coming real soon! ) there are no troops left to send!  Its pitiful.

Give them both a chose give up the nukes or take them away.\nWe can stop N. Korea with embargos do not let anything in or out \nWith Iran let Isreal take care of them
