Ask again when the mushroom cloud from one of their rouge nuclear bombs heats you up to about 50,000 degrees in less than a second.\n\nBy the way, that's not enough time to blame Bush before you die.

The odds are that a coalition will end up attacking Iran.  They can do alot to "placate" the world, but every day we wait they are getting closer to destabilizing the entire region.  Those who think the military cannot handle another engagement, bullpuckey.  We can call up ALL reserve and guard troops, we can start conscription, and we would WIN!  I hope like hell this does not happen, but America will not be bullied, or allow one country, JUST like Iraq, to threaten the WORLD's (not Cheney's or Bush's) oil supply.  If it was disrupted for any length of time, with a regional war, or by the theocracy in Iran(backed up with Nukes), the WORLD economy would go into instant depression.  \n\nThen who would we blame???  People forget that the entire WORLD needs peace and free access to resources, that way we all can prosper!

No. We've been here before with Korea and Vietnam. America would be incredibly stupid to make the same mistake again. \n\nIf America invades Iran (as America, and not through its proxy, Israel) America will be taken apart and humiliated in several ways:\n\n1 Militarily - America never wins such wars. It does not understand the passion of the peoples it oppresses. It always makes the mistake that military might wins out - it rarely does - the spirit of the people brings victory - and that spirit swells in the oppressed.\n\n2 Politically - all the World, and notably Europe, with Russia and China, will stand against America.\n\n3 Economically - the Islamic World will decimate US trade, not just oil, but shipping, property, automobile, air, military sales - you name it.\n\nThere will be no third World War over Iran - but America will be mightily defeated by the will of the third World.

Bush is an idiot, but Iran is a threat. Why Irans leader would put his whole country in jeapordy is just dumb. The US would destroy Iran and not even feel a scratch. Noone is that niave to think that any country right now could invade the US, so this means all wars are fought on their soil.. dumb moves.

well you may be right. The problem with the minds of most in the USA is that they only believe what they want to believe. They will swear it is raining when there is not a drop of rain and the sun is out. They just don't like being made out as fools. They sometimes prefer to believe a lie rather than to face the truth. \nBut on with your question, the Iraqis will never allow the US to control their oil and neither will Iran. In fact, now that the entire Middle East knows and understands the modus operandi of the US, they have no use for us except that we continue to buy their oil. A few years back while the US was in the full throes of war with Iraq, I predicted that Iran as well as Saudi Arabia and Syria would one day join hands as a solidified conglomerate of Middle Eastern power. This is happening, slowly but surely. Soon enough we will also see even Lebanon joining as well as Kuwait and Jordan. Then will come Pakistan and Afghanistan.We had no viable plan for Iraq, and it is too late to stop this oncoming Middle Eastern power base.\nOh and yes, Iran has been chanting "death to America" for several years now...but what you don't seem to realize is that other middle eastern countries have been THINKING the same thought for several years also.\nWill the U.S. invade and wage war against Iran?\nIt remains to be seen, but we should hope not. Doing so at least now in this decade would mean a world war. And it would mean the end for Israel.\nSo no. Not a viable plan. Not now.  Now five years from now.

I don't think USA can afford another war. Iran has a pretty good military force, but US can defeat them. Just that it's going to cost lots of money and many soldiers will die. So I do not agree we should wage war on Iran now. We still facing problems in Iraq and new problems are now arising in Afghanistan. \n\nI think US should focus on helping the refugees in Darfur Region in Sudan. There's evidence of genocide over there and its time to stop the killing.

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.

We probably will go to war with Iran, but not until 2007.  This is an election year and Congress is not going to approve anything which will infuriate the public right before half of them are up for reelection.

There is going to be a war with Iran and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. If the USA does not stop iran they will develope a nuclear war head and get it to the U.S. because they hate American's and freedom, Also they think it will please thier god(who is gay) they are going to have to be B.I.T.C.H. slapped or the west is doomed.

The U.S. wants to invade Iran because Iran wants to start selling oil, but not for American Dollars.\n\nLong ago the OPEC countries were told that the US would protect them if they sold there oil only for American dollars. This was shortly after the US stop using Gold to value thier money.\n\nIran wants to start selling Oil for a different currency.  They produce alot of oil. Doing this will start to devalue the american dollar all over the world.  That will be very bad for the Money grubbing slime balls that run the states.

It will be a suicide to do so and the US generals know that. \nIran is a big country. People are intelligent and cultivated. The civil resistance to any military invasion will be very strong especially that the country is not build to worship one man or a dictatorship so the country will not fall fast when Tehran will be taken as happened in Iraq. \nOn the other hand, the military technology is fairly advanced in Iran. It will not be as easy as it was in Iraq and Afghanistan.\n\nit will be a disaster for the US to invade Iran without extensive study

Hopefully Bush will be out of office before that happens. \nI don't think any military commander in the USA would seriously back Bush in a stunt like that. Iran is far bigger, and far better prepared than Iraq was. We had been bombing Iraq for 10 years when we sent in the military in 2003.\nThe US military is pretty over-extended as it is. Any attack on Iran would be very stupid. A lot of people killed on both sides. Needlessly, like all oil wars.\nUnfortunately, you won't get unbiased comments from the USA. Everyone will have an opinion. \n\nThey don't vote, but they have opinions.

I hope not.. it would be a big mistake if they attacked Iran

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.

As a retired military man I can tell you this question is NOT a "no brainer".\n\nThe US has made it a habit of fighting limited wars.  In other words, we do all we can to make it fair.  Well making it "fair" is what gets Americans killed.  To win a war you must do one of two things.  You must destroy the enemy's "WILL" or their "ABILITY" to wage war.  When we engage in an armed conflict we pull punches in order to minimize collateral damage.  This exposes our forces unnecessarily.  The result is casualties and a lengthening of the conflict.  As soon as we suffer some loses and are required to invest some time, the anti-war groups start yelling.  The first scream from this crowd causes us to loose the "WILL" to wage war.  It strengthens the enemy causing more casualties which prolongs the engagement.  Now the vicious downward spiral has begun and eventually we loose.\n\nThe decision to go to war can be handled by amateurs, but war is for professionals, and should be left to them.  If the amateurs decide to micro-manage the conflict the result is something like Korea or worse like Viet Nam.\n\nSo, the real question is not whether Iran can withstand the military might of the US.  The question is, will the US go in with a "WILL" to win.  And how long will it take before supporters turn around and start helping the enemy.  Remember, There were only three or four votes against the President's request to use force.  And that is a combined count of the House and Senate.  The intelligence committees for both houses saw the same Intel reports the President did.  Now listen to them!!!\n\nIMO this country has lost it's will to survive.  Until 95% plus of the population realize how badly we are threatened, this half stepping method of being fair will continue.  And if it continues, the same results can be anticipated.  \n\nIn short we no doubt have the "ABILITY" to project military force.  Our problem is we lack the "WILL".\n\nAnyone who doubts what I am saying need only read some responses on this board

The Iranian government should be restructured; I'm not sure that an invasion is the best way to do it. But, with their stated goals of wiping out Israel, etc., and their pursuit of nuclear weapons (not nuclear power; they have plenty of oil) they are scary, scary.
