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:(

The us is already at war with iraq and terrorism mainly. if we were to go to war with iran our problem would be multiplied by a catastrophic amount possibly leading to world war three.\n\nI also disagree with the person right before me it is a problem to every one . iran will want to use those weopons on the first person that pisses them off they are a ticking time bomb.

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.

Right now we are heading to a war in Iran if Iran keeps up with WMD's.  A war on Civilisation is still verry unlikly the U.S. never had a war like that before.

The only thing worst then a military attack on Iran by the United States right now is a nuclear armed Iran. It can not be allowed too happen. I'm reminded of one of my favorite quotes: \n\n"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."\n-John Stuart Mills, 19th Century Philosopher and Economist

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\nToday Tehran 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.

US And UK should leave Iran alone! So what if they have nuclear weapons. India, Russia and Isreal have them so why not Iran? Those three countries are just as much a threat as Iran is. Besides what are the americans and UK afraid of? I mean they have the biggest number of nuclear and atomic weapons in the world anyway.

As of right now US cant invade Iran because it does not have the support of the American people and the UN. \nIran is not like Iraq its military is more advanced and better trained. Starting a war with Iran might trigger a war with the Muslim nations thus before starting a war with Iran a lot of pros and cons must be considered and a lot of allies are required and some from Muslim nations.

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.

Well now.  A US battle battle group, which consist of aircraft carriers, destroyers, nuclear attack submarines, is capable singly of defeating any power on earth.  And the US has twelve battle groups. So at the very least Iran would be wiped out twelvefold.\n\nRemember how Saddam Hussein's "Mother of all Battles" turned out to be a total non-event.  Iran would simply cease to exist in a matter of days.\n\nAll your conceited, self-serving phony so-called religious rhetoric is useless drivvel.

Well Iran has been wanting to talk with the US for a while now.  When the Pres of Iran wrote his letter to Bush he said that he would love to talk to the US to discuss options.  Yet we just blew him off and talked about military options.  We make Iran to be this big bad guy but if we were to just listen to what they really say instead of listen to what just the media and our own govt tell us...we'd understand it better.

The answer to that question is both yes and no. Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, understands that the world is still suffering oil shock from the recent natural disasters, in addition to the fact that the majority of the US Army and Marines are stabilizing Iraq. This entire plot to stare down the world is merely a tactic of “shock and awe”. \nThe bottom line is no other Middle Eastern country other than Syria has shown support for their actions. Also, no European or North American countries are supportive of their actions. \nIf embargos were enacted and Iran began withholding its oil, the world would not come to an end. Sure prices would rise, but often the will of the people is stronger than any economy or dictator. \nIf all trade was ceased between the majority of the world and Iran, the economic repercussions for Iran would be disastrous. As it is, the government is terribly unstable, faces daily democracy marches, and only gains support through Islamic extremism and terror. \nFinally, if war were to break out, Iran is positioned right between two US allies, Afghanistan and Iraq. This would provide ample staging areas for any type of offensive. Also, as demonstrated during the first gulf war and to some extent during the second, the American and European militaries are designed for short term hit and run tactics which allows modern technology to be used most efficiently. If Iran was to stop selling its oil, it would hurt many countries that might have had a neutral stance at the beginning. With this being true, any military action could easily see the most global coalition that modern warfare has ever seen.\nacansco@yahoo.com
