Will the US make yet another poor decision and invade Iran?

As an Iranian I'm so ashamed on some treatments of my homeland government, but I hope at least one from White House read my message, suppose Brazil have the "Nuclear Knowledge" and US have not. What you will to do? This is the right of any country to increase its peaceful knowledge. Why in the middle east Israel, India, Pakistan have this technology? Which country has used the Nuclear Bomb? Iran.....? or ... World will not forget murders at Japan, Vietnam, Iraq, and so on... \nBut what I want to say, all American people, you must know, Iranians are opposed to crimes, it is ponderable in events of Iran history.\nHoping Mr. President Bush considers the various aspects of the task as more possible.

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>

Not again.  We did that once and look at what we created.\n\nWe destroyed a new democracy to put an corrupt flaky shah in there.\n\nSo they turned into barbarians and stormed the US Embassy and took hostages.\n\nDon't want to do that again, but they really need to stop finishing their prayers with "death to america"

I don't think USA can afford another war. Iran has a pretty good military force, but US can defeat them. Just that it's going to cost lots of money and many soldiers will die. So I do not agree we should wage war on Iran now. We still facing problems in Iraq and new problems are now arising in Afghanistan. \n\nI think US should focus on helping the refugees in Darfur Region in Sudan. There's evidence of genocide over there and its time to stop the killing.

most probably america will easily solve this by droping a nuke on the iranians...maybe they'll drop it on moscow too if its convientent since they like bombing up other countries like japan,vietnam,afghanistan,iraq....etc..

If Iran remains stubborn on the issue and fails to cooperate with the UN inspectors like Saddam did, or continues to insist on gathering the materials to make a nuclear bomb, there is a very real danger of that happening. I truly hope not, but Iran's leader may force our hand, again, just as Saddam did. Pray for peace, my friend. There's been enough bloodshed and war, but we will do what we have to do. God bless.

Hell no, he won't win.  And I think the US treated him too nicely in the 1980s when we were giving him WMDs to use against Iran.

Right now, I would say the score is Lions - 2, Christians - 2, however that could change at any time.  The Iranians are certainly shrewed with their threat of cutting off oil.  They are a major player in the oil production business, so it would hurt internationally if they were to do that.  On the other hand, how much of their bullshit are we prepared to take and not just them but Russia and China, too.  This little charade going on about Iran not accepting Russia's nuclear proposal is nothing more than a stalling tactic on the part of both countries.  If we are so stupid as to trust Russia, than we all need our heads examined, starting with the White House. The winner will be the one designated to turn off the lights when all is said and done!

Dear Sir, \nKeeping all things in mind, America cannot afford another war, both financially and startegically. Iran is not a splintered country like Iraq or Afghanistan. Iran is a democratically independant country, with both a very proud nation and a strong army, it will not a quick smash and grab operation but rather American will have to depute more than 700,000 + soldiers to even have a chance of having an impact in Iran. Not only that oil prices in the world will go up 5 folds which will once again place a huge burden on the American people who are so used to their SUV's and gas guzzling automobiles. \n\nA declaration of war against Iran will not nor should be taken lightly by other nations in the world. It will be the start of the first world war of the 21st century. \n\nNo doubt America is the strongest country in the world but with all due respect to Mr. Bush even the greatest empires in History have not been able to withstand a united defense from two or three large countries. namely Iran, China and Russia. It will not be limited to just Iran and America. All the nuclear powers in the world will get dragged into it including volatile nations like Pakistan and India. \n\nI would implore all the residents of American to try and raise your voices to try and make your goverment use restraint rather than resorting to violence every time they reach an impass.

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.

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.

It will be a suicide to do so and the US generals know that. \nIran is a big country. People are intelligent and cultivated. The civil resistance to any military invasion will be very strong especially that the country is not build to worship one man or a dictatorship so the country will not fall fast when Tehran will be taken as happened in Iraq. \nOn the other hand, the military technology is fairly advanced in Iran. It will not be as easy as it was in Iraq and Afghanistan.\n\nit will be a disaster for the US to invade Iran without extensive study

Another war - If the U.S. attachs Iran, it's likely China and Russia will side with Iran.  That could get us nuked.
