If Iran remains stubborn on the issue and fails to cooperate with the UN inspectors like Saddam did, or continues to insist on gathering the materials to make a nuclear bomb, there is a very real danger of that happening. I truly hope not, but Iran's leader may force our hand, again, just as Saddam did. Pray for peace, my friend. There's been enough bloodshed and war, but we will do what we have to do. God bless.

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.

It looks as though the Iranians will be involved in the next one, although I can't say I know who they'll fight. They talk tough, but aren't dumb enough to provoke the US or Israel.

soon, it definitely depends on Iran - if Iran does not comply and keeps going for nuclear weapons, we will be invading Iran for sure.  \n\nNear-term Iran, However I think China down the road may be WWIII if there ever is one.

IRANIANS WILL BE CANNON FODDER. \nIRAN WAR IF IT EVER HAPPENS WILL BE A WAR NOT THE NAMBY PAMBY BATTLE THAT'S GOING ON IN IRAQ. \nALL OUT OPEN WARFARE IRAN HAS NO CHANCE. \nNOT ONE OF THE IRANIAN MILITARY PLANES COMES CLOSE TO THE US MILITARY PLANES. \nAS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IN IRAQ THEIR TANKS AND YOURS WERE NO MATCH FOR THE COALITION FORCES TANKS. \nDONT LET YOUR LEADERS TAKE YOU DOWN A ROAD YOU CERTAINLY HAVE NO CHANCE OF RETURNING FROM. \nALL OUT WAR IS TOTAL.

One sincerely hopes that a war between Iran and the US never breaks out. But judging from the way things are turning out, war is a very real possibility. If war does break out:-\nThere will be heavy casualties on both sides. However, Iran will have to eventually concede defeat, or be wiped off. Though Iran has a large military force, it is largely antiquated and their might is still nowhere compared to what the US and its allies can bring to bear. All Iran's confident rhetoric and talk is only for public consumption and is actually to pep up their own troops and countrymen. Though it may have acquired weapons and delivery systems through its clandestine programme, their true capabilities are still suspect. Remember, both Saddam and the Taliban also behaved with similar over-confidence and arrogance before the conflicts began and in the initial stages.\nAlso, the US will not be alone. They will have allies as most of the developed nations consider Iran a rogue state, and will either back the US or at least tow their line. While many think the entire Moslem/Arab world will unite behind Iran, I feel that may not happen. Remember Iran is not an Arab nation. Deep down, there are significant differences simmering between the Sunni Arab states and largely Shiite Iran. While there will be rumblings of opposition to US action, I doubt any Arab state will cast their lot with Iran when it comes to taking up arms and actually fighting. Some independent militia groups might though.... Also, commercial considerations carry weight and siding with the US or being mute spectators is best for the Arab world in the long run. For the US, the key is to keep Israel out of the conflict. Iran will surely strike at Israel and if Israel retaliates, then Arab nations may offer support to Iran. Therefore, Israel should be kept out of action and protected from an Iranian strike at all costs. \nOne thing is certain, a war like this could escalate into a global one and any war there will alter the geo-strategic and economic balances in the region.

This is a country that has been openly preaching hate and advocating obliteration of its enemies for nearly thirty years. I HOPE the U.S. attacks Iran rather than allowing it to become a nuclear power. I'm afraid that if it does, it will have to carry the burden by itself, because the rest of the world has shown itself unenthusiastic for unrewarding but necessary hardships.

If iran is heading for Nuclear power,then the reason is basically to start thinking of ways to produce alternate energy.They know it very well that Oil is not gonna stay there forever and now is the time,though already late but not too late,to start initiating a different source.And,its also to notice that<u just cant use the nuclear energy instantly,u have go through all the tests that goes on for years finally b4 you are actually using the product commercially.US has its own reserve of oil which is biiiig as well,but they prefer to finish off the reserve of the rest of the world first with its monopoly themes and will start rigging full fledged then.Imposing a threat alarm on Iran is nothing but gathering the world opinion to go for a war and start selling stock pile of new weapons and buying oil from Iran with lower price when UN imposes sanction after the first stage of battle finishes.US has created the environment just like the british did when they were the masters of the universe.

Iran has announced that they are going to open an oil market that opperates on the Euro.  That's bad for America because the US dollar is currently the primary currency for international oil trade.  So the United States has announced that Iran plans to have nuclear weapons.  How convenient.\n\ntaz: That's exactly what the US government wants you to think.  It's called propaganda.  Keep in mind that eveything that government agencies say they say for a reason.  They rarely just tell the straight out truth, and the current administration has a particularly notable history of lying.  You should always think about why they're saying what they're saying.

I agree with you completly. Our Gov't is ready for war whenever. It is just ridiculous that they are tying to start stuff with the USA. I mean just look at us in Iraq, they don't let us inspect their country for nukes and we attack. Iran is pratically starting a war with us and I bet you that we will attack them before the next presidential election.

The whole MAD business.  If both sides start using nuclear weapons, the world has a good chance of ending.  So, no one actually uses them.  I'm guessing if Iran actually uses them, the US won't retaliate because no one wants to use nuclear weapons.

There are some extremely smart people in Iran, both male and female.  Not the political leaders who are very primitive.  All the smart people are virtual prisoners of the theocratic state system to a greater or lesser degree.\n\nThey certainly can, and may already have atomic bombs.\n\nWhen you combine that with the statements and intentions of the political leadeership it is quite scary.\n\nEven more scary if they decide to foster terrorist objectives anywhere in the world.\n\nObviously this will backfire greatly on them over time, but it is possible something tragic could happen for others, even Russia, Israel, or any other place, like Saudi Arabia.\n\nHaving atomic weapons calls for having your brains under control and accepting international standards of sane and wise policies.\n\nThe Iranians are the only ones who can solve this dilemma, it must involve actual and overt policy and believable statements.\n\nAnything else is a doom scenario, with the worst doom on the Iranians themselves.\n\nSo far, it appears they do not understand this.  They are starting to feel very powerful and influential like Hitler, pre-World War II.  Will they make similar decisions?

Khatami was a moderate and tried to get Iran to be more normal.  The current leader, President Ahmadinejad is an extremist that will lead his country into a lot of problems.  He has made comments that threatens to make the Middle East even more unstable than what it is right now.  Iran is moving forward with development of nuclear power.  Officially the want nuclear power to generate electricity, but they have a very large oil supply.  Hmmm... what do you think they want nuclear power for?

Iran has no weapons of mass destruction but it has oil.  It might suffer the same fate as Iraq.

in iran?  i don't know.  it seems to be heading that way, but i think that iran will probably end taking the russian's proposal and have their uranium enriched in russia and shipped back to iran for fuel.  They have said that they are considering this option again, after having taken it off the table.  I think they would only bring the option back if they were probably going to do it.  I think they will not risk a war, especially without the support of russia and china.  If it was only the US, they would risk a war, but the rest of the world is against them.  I think their bluff has been called - they wanted to see who would align with and against them and nearly everybody voted to send them to the security council.  Its not the end of the issue, but I don't think there will be war.
