Do you think that the USA would eventually INVADE Iran, or even NUKE them??

Under Bush anything is a possibility.\nProbably even nuking them.\nFrom Bush's track record, we can see that he cares less for humn lives that are non-American.\nHe would certainly try to nuke them if the need arises.\nPakistan has no reason to nuke Iran. Wrong guess.\nthis might brighten up some of your participants....read on:-\n\nDecember 28, 2005  \nNuking Iran With\nthe UN's Blessing \nOnly the American people can stop it  \nby Jorge Hirsch \nIn the "global war on terror," Iran is the next target, having been designated by the U.S. State Department [.pdf] as "the most active state sponsor of terrorism" in the world. The United Nations has given its blessing, and the U.S. will fill in the blanks. \n\nBefore we analyze this, however, let us ask ourselves: why not Florida instead? In fact, Florida should be way ahead on the list. Family considerations should not play a role in U.S. policy decisions. \n\nLet's compare the cases. For Florida: \n\n\nAt least 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers had Florida connections. \nThirteen of the 19 were in Florida before Sept.11. \nEight of the hijackers took flying lessons in Venice, Fla. \nFive of the hijackers trained in Florida gyms. \nTwo of the hijackers got drunk in a Hollywood, Fla. bar a few days before the attack. \nInstead, the connections between 9/11 and Iran are much more tenuous, according to the 9/11 Commission: \n\n\n"Senior al-Qaeda operatives and trainers traveled to Iran to receive training in explosives" in 1993. \n"Iran facilitated the transit of al-Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and some of these were future 9/11 hijackers." \n"We have found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack." \nThe 9/11 hijackers used planes, not explosives. So I very much hope that the Pentagon is revising its Nuclear Strike Plan. A precision-guided missile with a nuclear warhead – or a low-yield nuclear gravity bomb – should be effective in vaporizing both aboveground and underground facilities of Huffman Aviation School in Venice, Fla., with minimal collateral damage. \n\nThe fact is, terrorists do not need "state sponsors" to do their job. The 9/11 hijackers lived in the U.S., rented apartments, opened bank accounts, got drivers licenses, rented cars, took English lessons, had jobs, joined gyms, learned the needed flying skills, bought their box-cutter knives, and blew themselves up in the good old United States. And so will the next terrorists who strike us. \n\nFurthermore, some of the 9/11 hijackers lived and studied in Hamburg, Germany. And they met in Madrid. So are Hamburg and Madrid next on the strike list? \n\nDoes anybody really believe that the "training camps" in Afghanistan played any significant role in 9/11? Can somebody please explain what exactly the 9/11 hijackers learned at those training camps that they couldn't learn elsewhere? \n\nDoes anybody really believe that the purported meeting, which in fact never took place, of Mohamed Atta and an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague would have played a significant role even if it had taken place? \n\nYet we are embarked in a "global war of terror" in response to the 9/11 attacks that has led to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and is about to lead to a U.S. nuclear attack against Iran. \n\nBecause make no mistake, an aerial attack on Iran that will include low-yield nuclear bombs is the next step in the "global war on terror," unless something extraordinary happens to derail it. \n\nThe "Legal" Framework \n\nThe United States invaded Iraq under the pretext of enforcing UN Security Council resolution (UNSCR) 1441. Bush stated in his address to the nation on March 17, 2003, \n\n"On November 8th, the Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1441, finding Iraq in material breach of its obligati

Probably, unless we want a mad man to build a nuclear bomb & blow up Israel - his wordes not mine or President Bush's words. Are you willing to sacrifice Israel & do you believe The President of Iran will stop with one country if no one stops him. The world will truly be his unless some stops him, as the greatest world power that falls to The United States. As a mother of a solidier it is not with pleasure that this is said. God bless our Military!

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.

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.

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.

they ain't gonna. u.s. is hypocrits. they worry about iran while we are sitting on our tons and tons of nuclear arsenal.

Yes is we ever allow a nation like Iran to get their hands on nuke technology, first thing they would do is distribute bombs to every nutjob terrorist group to go blow up Israel, Europe, and USA.

OK, what I say here is what I think, I will try to give facts to prove it but anyways it can be completely wrong.\nI think US will not tolerate a Nuclear Iran not because Iran will use nukes against anyone(They are not that insane) but because a nuclear Iran will collapse all power equations of Middle East.\nArab world will be at full time terror (You must know that Iranians are not Arab and  don't have good relationships at all with Arabs of Persian Gulf) and you must know that these Arabs are allies of US.\nIran can be strong enough to force US out of Persian Gulf and this in not what US can tolerate. it also shake the Israel really hard.\nIran claim that they are doing a peaceful nuclear thing is 100% correct but if Iran would be able to do all the enrichment process it can use it to make a nuke and US has given blueprints for a nuke to Iran itself for God knows reason, US have claimed that they have given the wrong blueprints to Iran but they are aware that Iranian have good researchers(Most of them have degrees from US)\nAnyways I don't think a WWIII like previous WWs take place because Nuke countries are affraid of each other more than they can simply invade each other, next WW will be an economic one and it has started already, its between China and US and China is doing better till now.\nLast of all I want to remind you that Iran and Israel have  relationships, maybe they are not allies but they have same enemies and benefits and lot more, till now they only have yelled at each other, no more than that, Iran nuclear program has been in process for 40 years, if Israel wanted to attack them they could do it at the same time they do it in Iraq, after Iran-Iraq war when Iran was at it worst military point not now that they have bought lots of Russian equipments which I will tell no more.

I don't see anything happening over Iran too soon.  Any US president would be insane to start a war with Iran and should be sent to a psychiatric facility immediately.  The EU and NATO definitely won't do anything to piss the Iranians off, Iran has missiles that are within range of their countries.  The UN doesnt have the balls to do anything either (plus you have Russia and China who'll oppose a lot on the Security Council).  Frankly, I think Israel is the only one who can be counted on to do anything at all--which in their case is going to be military action.  That, sadly, is going to drag us (the U.S.), if not Europe, in as well.

A worst case scenario would unroll if the US were to launch a major air strike against Iranian nuclear facilities in the next few months.  A limited air strike against a "choke point", such as the Iranian uranium conversion facility at Isfahan, would like disrupt Iran's nuclear program for a long time.  The problem is what happens then?\n\nIran will respon in some way, all of which are devastatint to regional and international security.  They could lob scuds at Israel and US bases in the region.\n\nThe could block the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off the oil pipeline.\n\nThey could stop selling oil.\n\nThey could use their connections with Hezbullah to launch terrorist strikes against US interest.\n\nThey could do all or any of the above in combination. The only feasible targeting of a US nuclear attack would be the hardened facility at Natanz, under 75 ft of hard rock.  The other nuclear facilities are soft targets and can be taken out by conventional weapons.\n\nWhatever course the US takes, be prepared for the UNIMAGINABLE>

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.

My god what are they teaching in the schools these days. Some one said so what we have em, Israel has em..... \n Are you that stupid. If we let Iran have them, then they will end up on your lap one day when you go to eat dinner. That dude is a Nut ball and has already said that his plans is to take Israel off the map. After he takes out Israel where do you think he would attack next? Yes that's right, right here in the USA. Think its to big of a job for him. Well maybe, only because we already took out Iraq(which you probably was against as well)and The Taliban. Good grief what is wrong with you people, Don't you know what a Nuke is. There are to many in the world already and if we let anyone else have them then its that much more of a threat. Especially some mental case. Go USA. I still live here. If you don't like it then move over with them. Be decent for once, Support your president and your country. I still love this place. You should to.

Yes, eventually (maybe not 50 years, but sometime not so far off), the US will have claimed that no country will be able to be trusted with nuclear weapons, and the US will bomb and take over every country. 50 years after that, people will realize that the true irony was that, in all of history, the US was the only country to use nuclear weapons.

A nuclear capable Iran is a threat to the world--not just to the USA and I am sorry but this not a case of "so and so has nuclear power and so can we".  If your a country that is threatening others then stopping a nuclear program will is a must.\n\nEvery effort at diplomacy will be done but if that doesnt work--then I imagine they will take out Irans Nuclear site. I say "they" because it wont be the USA alone--in fact I do not think we will do it--it will probally be Israel.

It'd be an almost impossible task, maybe they could take over a small part-like Hawaii, or Alaska (again Herculean), well and the US has weapons of Mass Destruction and are not denying them, rather using that leverage to control the world.\n\nIn case of such an eventuality happening, that particular invading country is gonna have the whole world after it's as.s, and will have to run, that is assuming that the local Americans don't start using their arsenal of weapons that their gun laws permit them to own, the other country is gonna get their as.sholes pasted on the wall\n\nA note to end - I am not an American and I am not from that fairy Blair's country, and have always been critical of US  in most of my posts pertaining to them. The vulgar expressions (they are a part of most humans' bodies though) are meant not as an insult but to explain, to stress that under the present circumstances what you are asking is practically impossible.\nChill out!\nst

No one plan to Nuke the US specially Iranian, there are more Irani people in US than you can imagine, just go check your best universities like MIT or Stanford.\nThe only attack to US has done by Bin Laden and if you know he was created by CIA in order to prevent Afghanestan to have a government like Iran and Iranian supported Anti Taliban groups in Afghanestan all the time that US was supporting them, and Iran government yelled that he is a murderer, its not Iranian fault.\nUS don't like Iran to be a nuclear power, its a fact but you must search the reason elsewhere, its not hollywood movies, its politics.\nA nuclear Iran will ruin all power equations in Middle East. Even they can force US to leave the territory. That's the real reason.\nIran has threatened Israel to wipe out of the map for 30 years and nothing actually has happened and will not happen.\nThe main use of Nuke isn't military, its political, look at India and Pakistan, they declared they are both have nukes at the same time. they both have it but it was hidden, when one did a nuclear test the other one did it about a week. Can you get my point?\nAbout Iran and Israel there are many hidden facts that I'm not in the mood to repeat(if you really like to know them ask here or email me)\nAnyways don't worry, we will not nuke you, one who has to worry is me because once nice Americans  attacked an Iranian AirBus which was full of civilan travelers and I'm young and want to live long to see my grandchildren.

I hope they don't for their own sake. i smell a rat: ruskies may have gifted iran with some serious weaponry in exchange for mega contracts.\n\nIf it does happen i hope all Nato countries and other allies like Australia, Japan, S Korea contribute more than just token forces to wipe out this irritant.
