Why does the U.S. want to bomb Iran?
482251
The US doesn't WANT to bomb Iran, however, the US also does not want Iran to develop nuclear weapons.  If other efforts to get Iran to stop their nuclear development program fails, the US will feel it has no choice but to destroy the Iranian nuclear program by force.\n\nHope that isn't too long-winded for you.

Iran harbors terrorists that hate not only America but everyone in the western culture.  I would love to see what another country would do if a group of terrorists did what they did to America and then proclaim war on them.  \n\nIran also, because they harbor terrorists are likely to help them in times of need, such as give them nukes or the ingrediants to make nukes.  \n\nI am not sure if I agree with going into Iran, but I do know that we cannot stop until the terrorists are caught.  This affects not only America but the entire western world.  If the American economy fell, the entire world would suffer and the consequense would be horrible for the western world.  Also, once they are done with America, then they can go for other countries as well who have interest in oil in the middle east.  Do you think America is the only country who uses oil in the middle east?  Sorry, pal, but all of Europe does also.\n\nThese terrorists are dangerous in the fact that they could feasably get their hands on nukes and would not be afraid to use them.  Their soul purpoose is to kill anyone who is not muslim.  They live for Jihad.  Do you really want the global economy to fall and the terrorists to come to your country?  Don't you like your way of living?  Don't you like to be able to afford to go to a movie and feel safe doing so?  Don't you like being able to afford your rent and drive a car that you bought?  Don't you like to feel safe when you go to a public function like a concert or sporting event?\n\nThen quit whinning...

Wrong Buddy. Remember you have some crazy people who will do anything to get a nuke in their hands. Anyone from terrorists, to warlords. The civilized world, notice like the US, France, Britain, and so forth, use their nukes as a deterrent. You know u nuke me, I'll nuke you back. Crazy countries like Iran just wants nukes to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! So therefore, it is in the best interest of the civilized world that certain countries contain and hold nukes.

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...

If USA nukes Iran, then it would be the advent of another nuclear war. And Once again it would be proved that organizations like UNO are useless against superpower THE USA...!!!\n\nIts high time that people stand up to human rights and stop becoming slaves of power which is nothing but money.\n\nIran and Iraq are the only countries which refused to give oil to states. And then the usa under the pretext of destroying the Weapons of mass destruction, bombed Iraq. \n\nAnd Iran is also not bowing down- and though it went to The Security Council but because its majorly ran by THE USA... it had no where to go...!!!\n\nOne nuclear attack will kill the world...!!! Its high time that people stand for whats right... and not whats wrong...!!! are we waiting for death...???

America and the others (axis of evil) will always find a reason to install puppet government's. The nuclear Iran problem is just like the weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was supposed to have. America will go and attack because of the supposed threat and then a few years later it will turn out to be wrong information, by which time so many people will have been killed.

You're just playing with us Jim; you don't want to nuke anybody anymore than you want them to nuke you. The real question is should we use cruise missiles to destroy Iran's nuclear reactor/s like Israel did with jets back in '81 to Iraq's reactor/s because they were making the bomb too?\n\nAnswer: No to the nukes, Yes to surgical strikes with cruise missiles, which I believe will eventually happen, unless Israel beats us to it!

I have no doubt that the USAA could easily defeat the Iranian Army and Air Force, though they would be harder to defeat than Iraq's.  A long war would cause considerable damage to Iran--at the very least all electrical generating stations would be bombed, you wouldn't be able to use your computer after the first day or two; and there would be no water supply as a result.  Having said all that, most Americans are probably against the war because we're already having enough trouble in Iraq trying to win the peace. \n\nKeep in mind that just because you have an atomic bomb doesn't mean you can actually deliver it anywhere.  If there were a war, any Iranian plane or missile trying to leave Iran would be noted and blasted out of the sky.  And I doubt Iran would try to use the Bomb inside its own country.  And if Iran did manage to drop the Bomb somewhere, it would give the US good reason for appropriate revenge on Iran.  Are you sure you want that?

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.

Absolutly.\n\nIran has already said that once they get a nuke they will destory Israel. If you look at the comments from Iran, their goal is not protection but to actully trigger the end of the world... no joke, read up on it. They want to cause a world war that will destroy the earth and bring "Allah" from heaven.\n\nThe rest of the world can not wait till this happens, because if we do nothing then Israel will HAVE to do something, and then we end up in an even bigger war because Israel will be attacked by every other arab nation for attacking Iran.\n\nChina and Russia are just causing trouble as usual because they want that oil money and the techology contracts... just like they did in Iraq.

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.

It will not happend US military are stretched an attack will cause serious unstability in Iraq and Afghanistan. What would be the reason anyways. Even if Iran may get the bomb. What can they do with it ??? There is alot of nuclears that can be aimed towards Iran an build a pressure.

The policy of the United Stated is that we will respond to any attack on us using weapons of mass destruction with our own weapons on mass destruction - in an irrational and overwhelming manner.\n\nIran knows this - and I seriously doubt that they want to go there.

They think their life was better under Hussein, that it is OK to attack and kill Americans, and they want America out of their country. They prefer Iran and Syria to the US.
