Would YOU want the USA to support Israel militarily if it was attacked by Iran?

Thank you for asking this question. We need the whole world  very aware of this subject. The U.S would bring a lot of support that Israel cannot do on itself. Iran has pretty much everybody else on it;s side. But I know the U.S wouldn't just want to support Israel out of goodwill they would ask for somethig in return, but hey it would totally be worth it cause we all know the U.S rocks at fihgint poor countries :-P. sorry I needed a lil politcal humor in there. \n\nAnywho, I'm nto supportive of any war, it's useless in my opinion but it's never gonna stop happening. It's just the way it is and I quote Vonnegut "So it goes". So yeah! Israel all the way.

No, we should not continue our support.  We never should have given it in the first place, and here's why:\n\nIf Israel is a sovereign nation, then it needs to act like one & quit hiding behind America's skirts like a bunch of scared children [granted, most children aren't allowed to play with nuclear weapons, but that's the answer to a whole other question].\n\nAlso, I'm sick & tired of Isreal's oppression of Palestine being defended by America, a land that [allegedly] does not condemn people based on their religon.  It's reall quite hypocritical of our leaders to even consider it.\n\nIf, on the other hand, they would care to become America's 51st state then I would be Happyto see them afforded all the rights, freedoms, and protections that come with being part of the union.\n\nBottom line:  Sink or swim Isreal, and let history judge you as it has the rest of the world.\n\n...I for one couldn't care less...why anyone would claim such a gods forsaken place as the middle east as a 'holy land' is beyond my comprehension...\n\nStop.\nThink.\nResist.

US will not dare attacking Iran. Iran isn't like Iraq and is the biggest military power in the middle east. Iran is one of the biggest suppliers of oil in the world, if this attack happens the prices of oil will rise to big amounts like 90 dollars, and maybe even more. US knows that it has several military bases in the range of Iranian missles and in the case of this war Iran can easily hit American bases specially in Iraq. United States knows that in the case of this attack Iran isn't the loser, because the people of Iran have always supported their country in the case of a war. Iran has some close allies in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon each one of these allies can cause big damages to the American troops.\nAirforce is not an option. United States can't attack Iran with airforce because of the new anti aircraft and missle systems Iran has bought from Russia. Nuclear War is not going to happen.\nBut we have seen many idiotic acts from the American Govt. so anything is possible.

No.\n\nIf you have some time, here's an article (scroll down a bit) that explains the changing history of Iran and Israel--who used to be allies.\n\nhttp://www.strategypage.com/messageboards/messages/34-1324.asp

The president of Iran is a threat to the world, did you hear his speach today, he is hell bent on destoying Israel. How ever I think that Israel can take care of themselves and ouhgt to be able to. Let Israel go get him.

First, Iran is building a nuclear reactor for electical power use only. It is israel that is insisting that they are building WMD in order to fool the stupid American people into invading their enemies.\n\n  Don't be fooled about Russia, they are helping Iran and had threatened that if Israel attacks Iran they will use their nuclear might against Iran and supply the Palistinians with weapons so they can finally fight back the terrorist state of Israel.\n\n    Israel is the only ones over there that have the greatest nuclear weapons. What makes these war mongers think that they are the only ones allowed to protect their country. If Iran wants WMD's I don't blame them!That is the only way they can keep the war mongering terrosit state of Israel at bay.\n\n  However, if Israel attacks Iran without provocation  ( not one of their fales flag operations where they do the damage and blame their intended target as usual) they ( Israel) will be facing a force they will wish they had not. Iran has the weapons necessary to decimater Israel and totally destroy them. If Israel makes attempts to use nuclear weapons then Russia has sworn to defend Iran with nuclear weapons and China will also join in.\n\n  If Israel attacks Iran, then the poor Palistinian people will recive much needed weaponry  to fight back against Israli  forces that have been murdering Palistinians  by the thousands in what amounts to ethnic cleansing or genocide. Then the Palistinians will finally be able to get revenge on these terroist who murder them dalily. And rightly so!\n\n  Israel is walking a thin line and any move by them will totally devastate Israel and rightly so. They are  boxing themselves in a corner and then there will be no escape for them as the world powers grow tired of this war mongering  and false flag terroist state. \n   \n   I hope they do attempt to attack Iran, then they will finally get what they have deserved for so long for so much killing they have done while western nations cover up the autrocities of this terroristic state every day. Then and only then when they are decimated will the world finally have peace, with the worlds war mongers gone! Praise GOD!\n\n  Their WMD will not help them as they are attacked from all sides. This may be the war that ends all wars before the Lord Jesus Christ  ( GOD in the flesh) comes back! Israel does not want anyone else to have WMD other than them in order that they control the entire region. Thats not going to happen.Israel will push for war after war until they finally get theirs, and I think its comming soon. They had better think twice about Iran because American troops are getting tired of fighting Israels wars for them. They may be surprised that they really don't have the American troops support. I will say my early good-byes to Israel in advance . And after that the world will have peace without these war mongers.

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.

No, Israel would probably do so first. If we did attach Iran, we would only use missiles to disarm their nuclear plants. I do not see a full out war with Iran, we are have to many other problems for our troops already

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.

I say that you are crazy.  Iran cannot have nukes, no if's, and's, or but's about it.  They have vowed to wipe Israel off the map, and a nuke would give them the means to do it, and permanently.  A weapon that deadly in the hands of insanity is just that- insanity.

Yes, and Us supported Pinochet in Chile, Batista in Cuba and many more bloody dictators, as show the link below.  Do you know that US give Israelis arms to kill palestinans? USA are not so friendly.

We have seen the help of USA and others country when Iraq \nattacked to Iran,and Iran dad resisted with them and finally they win.Now after about 20 years Iran become more stronger then before and i think if USA could attack, They did many years ago.

Yes, but I don't expect it to happen. The US supports Israel, regardless of what they do. They regularly veto resolutions against Israel in the UN. They support Israel, the 6th richest country in the world, with 1/3 third of all foreign aid. The Pro-Israel lobby is the largest lobbying group in Washington. We are not interested in solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because it makes our weapons suppliers a lot of money.\n\nWe overthrow governments to install democracy, but when Palestine democratically elected Hamas, we refuse to deal with them. The hypocrisy is laughable.\n\nWe need to not take sides in the conflict. It is not our fight. Supporting one side while chastising the other is not the way to achieve peace.

Dear Sir you are highly mistaken! It is not Israel thats afraid of Iran but it is the other way round. Israel has full support of the USA so it does not need to fear Iran or any other country of the world for that matter.

Firstly,I am an Asian and I think your attitude toward the Middle-East is very condescending.I hope you realize that this "blowing up" will result in a loss of miilions of human lives?To answer you question,my response is no.If Iran were to get nuclear weapons it is unlikely that they will target their mainly Islamic neighbours since Iran is an Islamic Republic.Israel however would probably be the first to be attacked by Iran.The Jewish State however has also equipped itself with nuclear technology and would doubtless retaliate as soon as possible.As a result more nuclear-equipped countries would be dragged into the fray perhaps resulting in a much-feared nuclear holocaust.And as for "letting" Iran get nuclear weapons it is possible that they already have a nuclear arsenal.President Ahmadinejad is probably just trying to incite America into invading his nation so that he has an excuse to launch a nuclear attack against the latter.
