Why do the Americans think the world belongs to them. Who gave  America the right to have nukes and stop others from having them. USA is the only country to have used Nukes in war. \n\nUsa has no right to stop Iran from developing Nukes, like it had no rite to attack Iraq. Why does Isreal get to have nukes ? why doesnt Usa Attack Isreal?? Why does india get american help to develop nukes ?\n\nDude no country has the right to stop others from developing Nukes ... especially the country which has the largest depo of nukes themselves !

Your country's "President" needs to be wiped off the face of this earth and all it's Mullahs stripped of their power and moolah. ;-)\n\nOtherwise, I think we should nuke Iran.

I think so. Iran is wanting nuclear weapons. They should live under the same rules as everyone else.

I am very concerned over this. As long as we have this administration anything can happen. Did we do anything with international rules in Iraq? If we dont handle Iran with diplomacy and use force we will surely live to regret it.

If Iran gets their military in there.........yes

Using military forces...No.\n\nBUT\n\nI think they will manipulate the World Economy so America collapses under economic ruin...especially if ANY military action is taken against Iran.

I believe war is hinging on the Israeli PM elections, if Netanyahu is elected he has said he will attack Iran. Iran is looking for an excuse to launch an attack on Israel and they have the weapons to do it. If Israel attacks Iran they will play the self-defense card and launch a major chemical and or Nuclear strike on Israel. Then the domino's begin fall. Look for Venezuela to do something, they seem to be pretty "chummy" with Iran as of late. I wouldn't be surprised at all if South American Nations were able to launch attacks against the US much like Iran is doing in Iraq now. And then there is always the wild-card on the Korean Peninsula.

Prepare yourself for the unthinkable, war againsty Iran may be a necessity.\n\nThe UNIMAGINABLE but ultimately inescapable truth is that we are going to have to get ready for war with Iran.\n\nTehran threatended the US with 'harm and pain' for hauling them before the UN Security Council over its nuclear program. The rapidly intensifying crisis is like a train on a collision course.\n\nWhile we were chasing phantom nukes in Mesopotamia, next door, Iran was busy building real ones.\n\nThe unavoidable reality is that we now need urgently to steel ourselves to the ugly probability that diplomacy will not now suffice, one way or another, unconsciounable acts of war may now be unavoidable.\n\nThose who say war is unthinkable are right. Those who say the US should not send young boys to die in the Middle East far from home are right. Those who say war will foster more violence in the Middle East are right.\n\nMilitary strikes, even limited, targeted and accurate ones, will have devastating consequences for the region and for the world.\n\nAll the argument against a strike are fearfully powerful. But multiplied together, squared, and then cubed, the weight of these arguments do not come close to matching the case for us to stop, by whatever means necessary, Iran from becoming a nuclear power.\n\nIf Iran gets safely and unmolested to nuclear status, it will be a threshold moment in the history of the world, up there with the Bolshevik Revolution and the coming of Hitler.\n\nIran has stated that they will 'wipe Israel off the face of the map." They've stated that the 'holocaust was fake.' And the kind of society we live in and cherish in the West will change beyond recognition if Iran becomes nuclear. We balk now at intrusive government measures to tap our phones or other intrusions into our civil liberties. Imagine how much more our freedoms will be curtailed if our government's fear we are just one telephone call or e-mail, one plane journey or truckload away from another Hiroshima.

Why should we tell Iran what to do.\nWe should just leave them alone.\nIt's there choice to decide what to use nuclear power for.

A country like Iran that has pursued nuclear weapons and long-range rockets and has vowed to destroy a Democracy (Israel) should not be trusted, noteven with materials that could be used to further their nefarious aims.  Would they even hesitate to supply such weapons to terriorists?  Do you want to take that chance?  Just having nuclear WMD would allow them to intimidate their neighbors.  No one would dare try to stop them from equipping even more suicide bombers or organizing the powers on earth that have no regard for innocent human life, including yours.

An air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities is unlikely to be surgical. There are about 50 sites associated with nuclear development in Iran and they are mainly sited in towns where civilian populations would be at risk. An attack would be certain to inflame the Islamic world against the US, almost certainly lead to a full-scale civil war in Iraq with the support of the predominantly Shiite Iranian people, and the US fleet in the shallow and narrow Persian Gulf would have to withdraw or be vulnerable to Iranian missile attack.The cynical explanation for the Bush Administration's threats against Iran is that, like the build-up to the invasion of Iraq, the real objective is "regime change", which has been re-enforced by the slump in President Bush's approval rating to 34 per cent.The ramifications of such an attack could be disastrous. At a minimum, it would likely “rally the Iranian public around an otherwise unpopular regime, inflame anti-American anger around the Muslim world, and jeopardize the already fragile U.S. position in Iraq.” But most importantly, a military strike would “almost certainly speed…up” Iran’s nuclear weapons development by sparking a “crash nuclear program that could produce a bomb in a few years.”

If military action were the direct result of Iran's violation of international sanctions, then I would support it. \n\nHowever, any military action with Iran is like walking into a hornets nest naked with a really big stick. You might do some damage, but they'll get you in the end. \n\nThere is no doubt that any conventional conflict with Iran would be inevitably taken by the U.S. It is not in our nature, however to "occupy" nations, rather we seek to partner and rebuild, as was done in Europe and Japan. \n\nIf the nation's people are not fully committed to the partnership via shared vision, national unity and dedication to the future any occupation is going to pockmarked with failures, as we see in Iraq. \n\nThe Iranian people have been stirred by nationalism and will almost certainly look to even the smallest of pinprick airstrike as a tremendous abomination. Thus, military action with Iran, and the occupation that would ensue after victory would be tremendously damaging to the U.S. for decades. \n\nIn short, we can go, but it's going to suck. Bad.

The answer in one word:\nNO!!!!\n\nThe answer in many words:\nHELL NO!!! Because the number of troops for the military are streched so thin, its unblievable!! The US will not attack North Korea, because they have been spending too much time on Iran. And they can't do anything about Iran, because Iran has the backing of Russia, China, and India on the political front and the Hamas who is now in control of Palestine along  with the hezbolla militants will start hundreds of terror attacks. Now in Iraq, the Shi'ie muslim party is in power and they will soon become a major allie of Iran and so the US will be even more busy in Iraq. Iran will not be like Iraq that was invaded in a week, it won't be invaded, and hence we will have another Vietnam on our hands. And lastly , If the US even makes a threat to attack Iran, the oil supply from the second largest distributor of oil in the world will be cut off and hence the already high oil prices will triple, causing mayham!!! Does that answer your question? If it does, vote mine as the best answer so I can get 10 points.

Iran should be nuked but better if they should be warned first to make amends to their nuclear arms program.

no, thats the very reason terrorism against us exists. if a military invaded your country & killed your friends & family would you let it be? i wouldnt. id go all the way off. we tamper with their economies, laws, cultures, news/info & rights. just ain right. so many note the proactive stance,'woudl you rather wait till they attack?'...yes. itll be bad but thats the way it is. what if someone took an interventionist stance on us? we'd be pissed & outraged. by that rational, iran should attack usa since weve already made it clear that we're in their business. about iran, they have no means of making any nuke weapons. they have 2nd generation urenco centrifuges. we have 10th generation. the threat is if india with their new fast burn multipliers will sell iran the uranium for a weapon. although, india makes more selling electricity than weapons. iran has made upgrades to their reactors which allow them to enrich to 8%, 93% is needed for a weapon.\nactually rogerpoirier2, we & uk had blockades on both germany & japan. japan & china were in a big war so russia was the only place they could get recources. remember, theyre an island, not that big. they have limited recources. germany was on their european tour thing & needed to be shut down & thats what we did. only when rngland was attacked did we officially get in it. \nww1\nhttp://weekendinterviewshow.com/InterviewDisplay.aspx?i=88\nww2 http://www.philipdru.com/stinnett_stream.html
