IRAN IS A PANDORAS BOX... WAR ON IRAN WOULD BE LIKE OPENING IT AGAIN... ATTACK ON IRAN WOULD DESTABILIZE THE WHOLE REGION... SANCTIONS ARE GOING TO HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACT... SO A THIRD OPTION IS REQUIRED....

No, I don't think America should do this. They must learn from their past experiences...(Vietnam, Iraq..). Its the war of OIL. and let me tell you that Iran is not Iraq or Vietnam, and America knows it very well.\nAnd why the hell Americans love to be the global POLICE. They have everything with them(Nuclear weapons), but nobody else could have it. What is this non sense.

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. \nThere will be a realignment of Moslem/Arab nations. The oil sector will be most radically affected.

For those of you who aren't hooked on the History Channel... (I might be a geek...)  If Iran does not comply with requests to shut down its nuclear program (regardless of its intent)... the U.S. primary strike will most likely be from the air.  A ground assault would require 300,000 troops which would put an enormous strain on the Armed Forces already spread into any area Uncle Sam's engorged nose is poked.\n\nBecause Iran most likely keeps terrorists funded, this initial strike may cause an increase of car bombings in Iraq and other places the U.S. has landed itself including, perhaps, her own soil.  Iran would most likely use the same guerilla warfare tactics being used in Iraq.\n\nIran has a professional army of 800,000 plus an untrained organization of recruits that number around 7 million.  One tactic the U.S. may use to prevent a duplication of the Iraq situation is to strike fast and hard from the air and promise that the next attack will be an all out invasion which would level any Iranian threat.  The hope is that the thought of a massive U.S. invasion would quell any Iranian urges to retaliate.\n\nThe problem with Iran is that it is 4 times as big as Iraq and its people are larger in number and different in character.  This is a proud nation, one which has had the longest standing borders of the middle eastern world.  Its a nation with a history of power and prestige.  And as recent history shows us, they have citizens willing to literally throw themselves at the enemy.  (Iraq/Iran war.)\n\nSo will an American attack on Iran prevent their uranium enrichment ambitions?  Maybe.  But let's remember that keeping the Iranian people happy while constraining the Iranian government is an extremely tricky thing to do.  And as long as Iran continues being elusive about their nuclear program and the U.S. adamant about knowing... an attack on Iran might be in our future.\n\nThe New York Times has a report quoting credible sources saying that the U.S. army is already training for an Iranian war.\n\nFor the U.S. government's reasons for going to war, see this link.\nhttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,123081,00.html

NO.They will take action against them through the UNO.I believe there will be no direct attack on Iran like the attack on Iraq.
322678
Probably not. The US is currently involved in both Iraq and Afghanistan, plus the cost of attacking Iran could prove to be very, very high. I imagine the Israelis will take out the Iranian nuclear capabilities at some point, should the US not intervene.

NO! actually it will be Israel as usual. Israel started the war with irag by giving the US false information in order that America will fight israels enemies. Fact is Irag had NO WMD's and the intelligence given us by Israle was false.\n\n  Don't wory about Iran getting WMD's, if they do it will only call for more peace and keep the terrorist state of Isral at bay. It is Isral wom is beating the drums for war with Iran and feeding America false intelligence once again so that Amreicans can fight and die in Israls dirty wars against their enemies and the anilation of their enemies.\n\n  I don't hear anyone complaining about Isral and all their hundreds of nuclear weapons! Even though they touted last week about their ability to hit every European capital in the area. This is an outright threat, and a terrorist statement and an indication that their nukes are pointed right at Europe and nighboring nations. \n\n  There will be no war with  Iran unless Isral starts it first! And if they do they will start it by utilizing one of their usual black opps to attack Americans or some part of their own city and blamming it on Iran, which is the "MO' of Isral as always.Sort of like they did on American ships and other American sites in  the past in order to draw America in the battle.\n\n Heres how it will happen. America is in Irag and on one side is Iran and the other Israel. Israel will fabricate a reason to attack Iran ( as always, their motto is "BY DECEPTION WE SHALL DO WAR") and in order for Iran to retaliate they will have to go through the US military, through Irag to get to Israel and thusly Israel has drawn the US military into another one of their wars.\n\n  The end result is that the terrorist state of Israel will pay dearly ( thank GOD) for their greed and desire to steal the land around them in order to create the "GREATER ISRAEL" in order to facillitate the area needed so that their dead rabbi can come back as their so called mesia. It is nothing more than religeous nuts lying and scheming to steal others lands by deception. \n\n  If WW3 does start it will be because of Israel and thusly American drawn into another of their wars in which China and Russia has stated that they will defend Iran. Iran , Russia, and China all know that Israel is beating the drums for this war and that they will fabricate evidence and attacks in order to blame Iran and the Jewish controlled media and Bushs cabinet will propagandise this as a real event thusly getting the people of America to support this war on false intelligence as they did with the war with Irag. Only this time it won't wash as too many people are on to what is really happening.\n\n  If they do attack Iran  they will be destroyed by China and Russia and America will suffer greatly because we are caught in the middle as planned. The only good part of this is that Israel will be rightfully destroyed because they are the war mongers of the middle east and the Palistinian peoples will recive much weaponry by Iran, Russia, and China to finally get revenge for the constant genocide of their people and especially their children whcih Israle is so fond of shooting and killing on a daily basis. \n\n  It would be a mess for some time but Thank GOD Israel will finally get their just do for all the war mongering and genocide they have been doing since it became a state in 1948. Yes Israel is on the verge of destruction and total anilation but only because they believe they can not be touched, and only because the peoplein that area know that it is Israel is causing all the trouble. Israel  is a war mongering state that needs to knocked down a few pegs. And BTW, they are the ones who have nukes in that area and are the ones that are feeding false intelligence to America so that the foolish Americans will fight their wars for them. they will fight and anilate every one of their enemise if it takes every last Amrican to do so! After all, Jewis

No, I don't believe so. I think all of the rhetoric is what you call the October surprise. It's voting time, and all the subjects are coming to the surface just like the last time America voted. You have got to figure, that Russia or China, either one could supply Iran with what ever they wanted anyway. Iran hasn't gotten involved with the Iraq situation, and they could have at anytime. I really believe it's Bush pushing American Military again.

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.

Why do people keep asking this question?\n\nThe US isn't invading Iran anytime soon.  Besides, in order to have a World War, you generally need most of the countries in the world to pick sides and fight each other, and that's NOT going to happen.

Zero, this thing is to create more fear and confusion for ignorant people to rant and rave about. Voting tactics from the GOP, but it's not working anymore because nobody is listening to any Republicans. Iran has never made any aggression to other nations, and it will be really hard to get any coalition support other then sanctions. The political agendas have nothing to do with the aggression of war, it's all politics.

no cuz we dont have enough troops and money to start a war with Iran. but with Bush we never know what he will do next, like a drunk guy, you never know were he will stumble to.

First of all the US has never threatened war with Iran.\n\nWe have never threatened military action.\n\nAll of the 'threats' are being made by people who do not speak for the US government.  The truth of the matter is that every nation wants the US to resolve the Iran problem militarily - but does not want to be seen as supporting that action.\n\nSad that you did not catch this.

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.

The outcomes of such war would be pretty unsure, provided the US don't use chemical or nuclear weapons. The reason being that Iranians can be less equipped than the US but they are millions (millions of people in the Army i mean + those who would take a weapon should the US attack, exactly as it is happening in Iraq). \nDespite what many Americans or other people may think, Iranians are not stupid nor very much afraid of Americans. I think a war against Iran would end up exactly as the war in Iraq. Thay may fix Ahmadinejad but not all the clones coming out of there, turning the war into a permanent guerrilla, which in turn would cause a Vietnam-like situation. \nIt's what is happening in Afghanistan; it's what's happening in Iraq (And the US don't seem to envisage any tactics change) and it will also happen with Iran and Syria (Where Bush is planning to go immediately after Iran, as soon as he gets another valid excuse to gain some more oil fields). \nAnother point is: Are you all sure that EVEN IF, should the US win a war against Iran, causing millions of victims, that would be a victory in economic and diplomatic terms. No because what many out there didn't get yet is that in the world there are other countries too apart from the US and that means that certain actions are subject to the approvals of others too, at least because if you start a war next to my home country, i may have to handle refugees, terrorists etc. \nIn short, i think the outcomes of a war between US and Iran are very very far from seeing the Americans 100% winners. As a matter of fact they are not winning in Afghanistan nor in Iraq at the moment (It's a fact!).\n\nAnd mind me, all the above doesn't come from an antiamerican integralistic muslim, but rather from a Pro-America italian who has simply realized that the US are going a little bit too far in their so called "DEMOCRATIZATION" of middle east. And for those who may find my statements insulting, i'd suggest you all to wonder why the US didn't invade Saudi Arabia yet, since they are the root of the problem in that area...Will it be because Saudi Arabia produces 1/3 of all oil reserves in the world? Or because they enjoy a special relationship with the US? Or because they allow the US to keep their airforce bases over there (although not liking americans)?.....\nWinning a war is not simply killing the enemy and leaving the country. In these cases it's more about FIXING THE ONGOING ISSUES AND STABILIZING THE AREAS. \n\nThis would be best achieved with a President that is not Bush!A new Reagan would do as he had the brain it took and the balls to keep it real when situations get hard to handle, like in this case.
