Can and should USA bomb Iran and topple down its regime?

Good god NO. If we attack Iran Syria will invade Iraq and our troops there will be flanked from the east and the west, not to mention what other Arab countries would jump in. Our troops in Iraq would get slaughtered.

You're just playing with us Jim; you don't want to nuke anybody anymore than you want them to nuke you. The real question is should we use cruise missiles to destroy Iran's nuclear reactor/s like Israel did with jets back in '81 to Iraq's reactor/s because they were making the bomb too?\n\nAnswer: No to the nukes, Yes to surgical strikes with cruise missiles, which I believe will eventually happen, unless Israel beats us to it!

The outcomes of such war would be pretty unsure, provided the US don't use chemical or nuclear weapons. The reason being that Iranians can be less equipped than the US but they are millions (millions of people in the Army i mean + those who would take a weapon should the US attack, exactly as it is happening in Iraq). \nDespite what many Americans or other people may think, Iranians are not stupid nor very much afraid of Americans. I think a war against Iran would end up exactly as the war in Iraq. Thay may fix Ahmadinejad but not all the clones coming out of there, turning the war into a permanent guerrilla, which in turn would cause a Vietnam-like situation. \nIt's what is happening in Afghanistan; it's what's happening in Iraq (And the US don't seem to envisage any tactics change) and it will also happen with Iran and Syria (Where Bush is planning to go immediately after Iran, as soon as he gets another valid excuse to gain some more oil fields). \nAnother point is: Are you all sure that EVEN IF, should the US win a war against Iran, causing millions of victims, that would be a victory in economic and diplomatic terms. No because what many out there didn't get yet is that in the world there are other countries too apart from the US and that means that certain actions are subject to the approvals of others too, at least because if you start a war next to my home country, i may have to handle refugees, terrorists etc. \nIn short, i think the outcomes of a war between US and Iran are very very far from seeing the Americans 100% winners. As a matter of fact they are not winning in Afghanistan nor in Iraq at the moment (It's a fact!).\n\nAnd mind me, all the above doesn't come from an antiamerican integralistic muslim, but rather from a Pro-America italian who has simply realized that the US are going a little bit too far in their so called "DEMOCRATIZATION" of middle east. And for those who may find my statements insulting, i'd suggest you all to wonder why the US didn't invade Saudi Arabia yet, since they are the root of the problem in that area...Will it be because Saudi Arabia produces 1/3 of all oil reserves in the world? Or because they enjoy a special relationship with the US? Or because they allow the US to keep their airforce bases over there (although not liking americans)?.....\nWinning a war is not simply killing the enemy and leaving the country. In these cases it's more about FIXING THE ONGOING ISSUES AND STABILIZING THE AREAS. \n\nThis would be best achieved with a President that is not Bush!A new Reagan would do as he had the brain it took and the balls to keep it real when situations get hard to handle, like in this case.

of course peace should be the target for everybody in this world,but FAIR PEACE.\nif usa or israel or anybody else attacked IRAN or any other nation,its logic that they should defend themselve by attacking back.

No.\n\nThe US can do it to itself.

Iran is an unstable, extremist government who consistently make comments about wiping it's neighbors off the map.  That country can not be allowed to have a nuke.  For those of you who think that since the USA has nuke all countries should be ALLOWED to have nukes I wonder if you would feel the same if one was dropped on your mom's house or boyfriend, girlfriend, dad  or grandmother.  Sooner or later Iran will have the ability to launch a nuke on the USA.  Remember they are a Muslim country and they believe that people of all other religions should convert or die.

It will be a deep impact for USA. The united states will go to boggy!\nNo I don't mean that Iran is a powerful state. USA is very powerful and USa can beat Iran however, a war eating of the source of  a country. And many people in the world will hate USA. It is not good for American people:(

Never. Iraq was not a succesful example for US. They'll put more economical pressure on Iran rather than military action.

Hopefully never. Even though Iran's push for enriched uranium is totally wrong, for the US to go and attack another arabic nation would open up a whole new bag of worms. I think Bush and his mates should get over themselves. Violence solves nothing...just causes more pain for more people.

There's lots of saber rattling right now, but I think the people in power would be stupid to try and invade Iran - the Islamic view of the Western nations isn't so great as it is (especially now), and any attack against Iran would really be adding fuel to the fire.

They need something over there to be bombed.  I think a few cruise missiles are in order simply to wake up ahmadinejad and scare the sheet out of him.  There must be some actions and repercussions for what they are doing.  If there aren't, why would they ever stop?  It needs to be done now BEFORE they have a nuclear arsenal.  Same goes for north korea.

Yes, Iran should be blown off the map, it would be one of the best things that could happen

I've been saying this for months. I've told EVERYBODY that after the elections, the U.S., Great Britain, and/or Israel WILL strike Iran.\n\nThink about it...  . . .We're not about to let them get NUCLEAR BOMBS.

I think that this question is totally irrelevant. If Iran( or any muslim nation against USA)  builds nuclear facilities (civilian or military) americans will destroy that country (only becoz they c them as a threat).\n\nI think that america's common sense has been permanantly crippled by bin laden. Post 911 America views the whole world suspiciously (except their slaves in UK and friends in Israel). America has ever since been contradicting themselves. Remember the war in iraq, it was fought bcoz bush claimed to have evidence of non existent weapons and the threat of a dictator.My question to the world is "If iraq , y not pakistan?". Mushy's a dictator and one who openly admits to having nuclear weapons.\n\nI predict that soon the patience of the international community will run out. A grand alliance (Russia, China , France , India and the Arab world) could be formed so that america and americans will exist only in history textbooks.

Iran will nuke Israel if given the chance.  They are that stupid.  We have to stop them but the answer is not to nuke Iran but to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.  I say air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.  This is of course, after diplomacy fails.

it's not going to happen. the USA can't afford another war and the public is actually against invading iran.
