At this point, it looks like Iran will have to strike first.  Americans don't have the fortitude to start another war.

Iran is being threatened by the US after we attack Iraq.  In order to protect itself, it is seeking for defense in nuclear weapon.  If it does not get nuclear help, US will find other reason to attack Iran.  Maybe another Weapon of Mass Destruction, and after we conquer Iran, we will make a public speech stating that we got the wrong information from UK again.

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.

The U.S.A. alone will not be attacking anyone, however a coalition of forces may have to depending upon Iran Nuclear Policy.  Iran's President is playing the same game with us that Saddam played with us for years, this time with other factions coming to a head in the same area I don't believe that anyone will put up with this for nearly as long.  The U.S.A. has had Nuclear Power for longer than anyone has, we know the responsibilites that come along with it, which is why it has only been used in one war.  Our Arsenal of Nuclear Weapons has been used as a deterant to others who have this power, to keep a balance.  No one wants to see Nuclear weapons used in a war again and a government of 27 years with shaky background as far as stability is concerned is not the country that anybody wants to see develope this power.  Read the Book "On the Beach" or even see the movie they are both old, but they  will give you an understanding of what we figured out after gaining Nuclear Power and how long we have known it.  This power can wipe entire nations off the face of the Earth in nothing flat, as desirable as that may sound to somebody hating another nation may be, in doing so many other innocent would have lives altered from fallout for many years afterward.\n\nNuclear Power should not be approached lightly by anyone it can change the world by the push of a button.  Quite simply the U.S. has enough Nuclear Powered Warheads on submarines around the world to answer any Nuclear attack immediately  anywhere in the world.  The people of our country that handle this type of weapons are the professionals at the highest levels.  I pray that they never have to do their jobs.

Not going to happen. Europe and the US going to war with Iran is a possibility.

WE won't attack Iran,we might bomb your enrichment facilities.Iran is maneuvering its self into a position that most of the world will not allow.Yes you have oil,But larger more powerful countries who could take it have instead either not bought from you or have bought from you.\nBut the world is hungry for that oil,can Iran really afford to go around slapping faces of larger nations?

Iran has been a threat since 1979.  Ayatollah Khomeini himself called the USA the great Satan.  That in itself does not constitute a military threat but it deos indicate that they really do not like the USA nor any of the Western world.

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.

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.

I wouldn't necessarily say March, but I would say there is a good possiblity of it happening.\n\nIsrael has been attacked by the surrounding countries enough to know that they are going to have a serious problem if Iran, which has openly stated it wants to eliminate Israel, develops nuclear capabilities.\n\nWe may see another covert operation like Israel did in Iraq in 1986.  And then the rest of the world will publicly berate Israel, while secretly thanking them and the job they did.

Yes, the countdown has certainly begun.  This is a time of crises for the world.  I would hope that the used of nuclear weapons against Iran would be the last resort.  Because the first time nuclear weapons are to be used by any nation in an offensive measure, they must prepare to be counter attacked accordingly.  This could easily cause a chain reaction between countries and their allies sparking the Armageddon that we have feared sine the nuclear age has come alive.

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.

Israel or the United States.  Israel will bomb Iran because of the nuclear threat.  The U.S. will bomb Iran because it plans on dropping the U.S. dollar on March 20th and we can't afford that to happen...

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.

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.
