Do you think we should get involved with IRAN?

Oh yeah, Iraq is working out so well.  Iran, with a laregr populice that actually supports its government, would work out even better.\n\n(Incidentally, I think the idea of trying to convince Iran that it doesn't need nuclear weapons by threatening to drop nuclear weapons on it, as the Bush administration floated over the weekend, is brilliant psychology.)

I do. Iran has a lot of historical site. I`d love too see those. And with their nuclear issue right now, that is a plus for them

Well Iran has been wanting to talk with the US for a while now.  When the Pres of Iran wrote his letter to Bush he said that he would love to talk to the US to discuss options.  Yet we just blew him off and talked about military options.  We make Iran to be this big bad guy but if we were to just listen to what they really say instead of listen to what just the media and our own govt tell us...we'd understand it better.

I think that we will eventually get into a war with them, if some bleeding heart liberal gets elected, I don't think we will do anything to stop them.  \n\nHeres what I want to happen, We need to either set up a military overthrow, and set up a true democracy there, or we need to go in there, and systematically destroy every facility that is even remotely assosciated with neuclear anything, and then assasinate a bunch of people in the government.\nHopefully, this is what bush will do, 1. Kill welfare, 2. with all that money, fund a full scale invasion of Iran.  3. If neccesary, draft...

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.

If military action were the direct result of Iran's violation of international sanctions, then I would support it. \n\nHowever, any military action with Iran is like walking into a hornets nest naked with a really big stick. You might do some damage, but they'll get you in the end. \n\nThere is no doubt that any conventional conflict with Iran would be inevitably taken by the U.S. It is not in our nature, however to "occupy" nations, rather we seek to partner and rebuild, as was done in Europe and Japan. \n\nIf the nation's people are not fully committed to the partnership via shared vision, national unity and dedication to the future any occupation is going to pockmarked with failures, as we see in Iraq. \n\nThe Iranian people have been stirred by nationalism and will almost certainly look to even the smallest of pinprick airstrike as a tremendous abomination. Thus, military action with Iran, and the occupation that would ensue after victory would be tremendously damaging to the U.S. for decades. \n\nIn short, we can go, but it's going to suck. Bad.

I would also have to agree.\nAlso it is presumbly part of a ploy in order to get Iran to operate in a way that is more acceptable to the West.

I am thinking that we should stop being racist and arrogant.\nI am also thinking that we are not in charge of the universe.\nI am also thinking that if we have the right to have nuclear arms so should they.\n\nAfter all, we are not better than anyone else.\nAfter all, Iran is far less dangerous than the US ehich already has its own nuclear weapons.\n\nIn the last 50 years Iran has attacked exactly zero countries. In fact, through US enccouragement it was attacked by our former clients, the Iraqis.\nThe US has attacked Iraq, Vietnam, Guatemala, Grenada, Korea, El Salvador, Cuba, Panama, Egypt, and the list goes on.\n\nMaybe we should get rid of our own nuclear weapons before we ask others to do. We dont want to be hypocrites, right?\n\nBy the way, Iranians have never claimed or said they are developing nuclear weapons. Only the US has made this claim. And I sure beleive what W and Cheney say, right? ;-)

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.

Definately.  The war in Iraq isn't going that well for us, and Iran is a bigger, more powerful country.

God! To most of those answers so far, you guys have been so brainwashed by your media. To anyone that thinks Tehran should be nuked, think on this, your very attitude gives those in Iran who may or may not hate you, the very reason to attack you.  \n\nWe all have to live on this rock called earth together, your idiotic xenophobic remarks are NOT helping a very delicate situation.\n\nWould you like to be nuked? because if the USA did Nuke Tehran, there WILL be a response in kind from Russia and China!\n\nYou are calling for your own destruction, by wishing a nuclear attack on Iran. it would be a world wide cataclysmic all out nuclear war. You would not win that because nobody would win it.\n\nIran is NOT afghanistan or Iraq. They have not broken any international laws, they are LESS of a threat to the international community than the USA who is rapidly becoming a rogue state, illegally developing masses of WMD, Biological chemical and new nuclear weaponry  and your leadership has maintained a right to use this internationally banned weaponry against anybody they choose.\n\nThe fact that your country poses a much greater threat to the peace and stability of Iran, than they do to you means that they have a right for the international community to defend them, and yet YOU want THEM to be attacked? how the hell do you think they feel? they ARE threatened, unlike you. and you want to lash out???? You are fuckwits if you truly want them nuked.\n\nThey should not develop nuclear weaponry and they constantly claim that they have no itention to do so. I don't know whether to believe them, but what I do know is this, they do have a legal right top develop a peaceful nuclear energy program. They have a right to produce their own nuclear fuel. \n\nWhat I also know, is if they where to ever develop a nuclear weapon to be used against Israel or any ally of the USA, we all know, Especcially the leadership in Tehran, that Tehran would be turned into green glass.\n\nSo why would they do it? They could never destroy the US as a whole, but the US could Destroy Iran, many times over.\n\nLeave the international diplomats to try and sort this out in a peaceful manner. the alternative does not bear thinking about.

Now that is one big question lol. I would say this to you, what do you want from iran?\nOk so Iran gets nukes so what?\nSo they give them to some bad guys so what?\nSo bad guys give them to us like say 3 of our biggest cities. May four cities. Now what do we need to do to Iran?\nHow many got to die before we make a decision?\nIt is coming and soon!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but they all say that!! I would hope that we learned our lesson from the mess in Iraq about capriously taking things into our own hands. First off, I believe that Iran is all talk- similiar to that of North Korea, so I think it would be smart to continue diplomacy and get the backing of the world if/when that fails. Rushing in without world support will only lead to more problems.

Think about it. We are very vunerable and spread thin. The Soviet Union and China (1,000,000 man army) supports Iran, I imagine N. Korea would love to join in at this point. Mexico, and several South American countries would take advantage of our southwest region. There are so many countries today that would love to see us fall. As soon as Russia and China go to help Iran, all the rest would join in.\n\nHmmmm....interesting. I had saved in favorites two articles from about a month or so ago. One was headlined "Russia, China looking to form NATO og the east". The other was "Venezuela over spending on Military" and described how they too, boasted a 1,000,000 man marching army. Why would they need such a force?\nAnyways, neither article comes up now....cannot be found, on yahoo anyway.......Here's one:  http://www.penraker.com/archives/003961.html\nand another:\nhttp://english.pravda.ru/news/world/20-04-2006/79367-military-0

If Iran gets their military in there.........yes

I agree. We're waaaaaay too involved with the business of other countries. There's so many more things on the homefront that should be focused on, but the gov't is too worried about foreign diplomacy. We need to take care of ourselves before we can even think about aiding others. \n\nWe also need alternative fuel/energy sources. badly.
