do not over generalize....many "Americans" do not want this war. It is Bush and his minions that are doing this. Take a look at his approval ratings. I am American...I hate my government. I hate that we are in Iraq. I do feel like Bush made a huge mistake.

The USA is not aggressive.  We are passive resistant.  We have, since the Revolution, never started a war and only reluctantly, entered into the ones we were in.  \n\nNO we did not start the war in Iraq.  When your neighbor is beating his wife, you do not start a fight by stopping it.\n\nI sincerely hope you all forget to vote.

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?

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.

Dear friend,\nAn American theory implies that the safty of our nation is completely depend on the safety of world. So Bush the president started a defence before the attack of Iraq to the safety of this area could be insure while there is lots of loss on this war for USA which are on surface and not deep. But u should know, after a war usually the winner should control the area to make the situation calm and cool. so the best way is to stay in and control.

As a retired military man I can tell you this question is NOT a "no brainer".\n\nThe US has made it a habit of fighting limited wars.  In other words, we do all we can to make it fair.  Well making it "fair" is what gets Americans killed.  To win a war you must do one of two things.  You must destroy the enemy's "WILL" or their "ABILITY" to wage war.  When we engage in an armed conflict we pull punches in order to minimize collateral damage.  This exposes our forces unnecessarily.  The result is casualties and a lengthening of the conflict.  As soon as we suffer some loses and are required to invest some time, the anti-war groups start yelling.  The first scream from this crowd causes us to loose the "WILL" to wage war.  It strengthens the enemy causing more casualties which prolongs the engagement.  Now the vicious downward spiral has begun and eventually we loose.\n\nThe decision to go to war can be handled by amateurs, but war is for professionals, and should be left to them.  If the amateurs decide to micro-manage the conflict the result is something like Korea or worse like Viet Nam.\n\nSo, the real question is not whether Iran can withstand the military might of the US.  The question is, will the US go in with a "WILL" to win.  And how long will it take before supporters turn around and start helping the enemy.  Remember, There were only three or four votes against the President's request to use force.  And that is a combined count of the House and Senate.  The intelligence committees for both houses saw the same Intel reports the President did.  Now listen to them!!!\n\nIMO this country has lost it's will to survive.  Until 95% plus of the population realize how badly we are threatened, this half stepping method of being fair will continue.  And if it continues, the same results can be anticipated.  \n\nIn short we no doubt have the "ABILITY" to project military force.  Our problem is we lack the "WILL".\n\nAnyone who doubts what I am saying need only read some responses on this board

It is obvious the United States is winning, but the problem is that doesn't suit the leftist (Democrats) in this country.  They want to scare the American public into thinking we are losing and bring up ever road side bomb as evidence.  \n\nWhen was the last time you heard of a terrorist training camp?  Yeah they don't have those any more.  \n\nWhen was the last time the "insurgents" occupied any territory.  The answe is Falluja last year and they held it for less then 2 weeks when we went in and took it back.  \n\nWhen was the last time they hit America?  9/11 and none since then.  \n\nYes we are winning.  It just doesn't fit into the political scheme of the media or the left to say so.

I doubt it, the USA have proven time and again they are rubbish at fighting wars. All they do is throw money and youngster lives away for nothing.....\nThey haven't managed a decent result since WWII and that was because they picked the right team to play with.

Never. Iraq was not a succesful example for US. They'll put more economical pressure on Iran rather than military action.

Let's hope so.even now the right wing propaganda machine is working hard to let people forget and blame everything on the Democrats.\nAccusing the Democrats of somehow being in bed with the terrorists even.While even Bush spoke out strongly against this notion saying Democrats will defend America.\nThe United states needs to be strong and the right wing must stop labeling fellow Americans as the enemy because then the terrorist win.If Americans start to fight Americans Osama is really happy

No, they'll just blame Bush and say we had it coming for the "illegal" war in Iraq, you can't win when it comes to liberalism

The odds are that a coalition will end up attacking Iran.  They can do alot to "placate" the world, but every day we wait they are getting closer to destabilizing the entire region.  Those who think the military cannot handle another engagement, bullpuckey.  We can call up ALL reserve and guard troops, we can start conscription, and we would WIN!  I hope like hell this does not happen, but America will not be bullied, or allow one country, JUST like Iraq, to threaten the WORLD's (not Cheney's or Bush's) oil supply.  If it was disrupted for any length of time, with a regional war, or by the theocracy in Iran(backed up with Nukes), the WORLD economy would go into instant depression.  \n\nThen who would we blame???  People forget that the entire WORLD needs peace and free access to resources, that way we all can prosper!

Listen up. There "is" no losing or winning. It's impossible to win a war against terrorism. It "is" possible to prevent people from doing terrorist acts, but it's impossible to stop them trying.\n\nSo i would have to say we'll never win, nor lose.\n\n(For everyone who jumps on me because i said it was a war on terrorism and not oil, you need to get your facts straight. The war began in afganistan. We drove Osama out, making him hide in a dark hole in Pakistan. They attacked Saddam to make sure he didn't have anymore weapons of mass destruction left over from the times of the Kurds that he could sell to Osama.)
