What about N. Korea... do you Repubs actually think Iran is a bigger threat?

I think this is how Bush sees it. This is an analogy. Iran, Osama and N Korea are all school yard bullies. Osama comes and punches you square and hard in the face and runs away and hides, N Korea is just yelling verbal threats but other than that is doing nothing, and Iran is slowly walking to wards you cracking his knuckles, now who would you see as the immediate threat? George sees it as Iran, I dont know about you but thats just from one "Repub"

It's a threat. They're enriching themselves in uranium and soon will blow up Israel and ignite a world war.  I don't know why the UN is such a pussy on Iran or why Bush hasn't taken a strong action against Iran. If the Bush administration or Israel invades Iran they will have my full support. I don't hate Iranians or muslims but radical islamics are a threat to society. I hope you don't think I'm a bigot.

attack Iran and N. Korea at the same time and win?\n\nlike you are "winning" in Iraq?\n\n.. NEWSFLASH both the aforementioned have better equipped armies than Iraq, possibly nukes - and seeing as how the US has squandered most of its post 9-11 int'l good will, you won't have many allies..\n\nstudy your history.. too many fronts, overextended - taht's always how the Empires fall, from Genghis Khan to the Romans to Hitler to Napoleon....

I say that you are crazy.  Iran cannot have nukes, no if's, and's, or but's about it.  They have vowed to wipe Israel off the map, and a nuke would give them the means to do it, and permanently.  A weapon that deadly in the hands of insanity is just that- insanity.

I'm scared of Iran and North Korea for the same reasons, they're desperate countries with powerful weapons.

Hmmm......I remember a couple years ago, bush said something like this (direct quote):\n\n"knowing these realities, America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."\n\nYeah, I remember that, I was sitting in 105:H International Studies at Washington University when he said that, it was a reference to "Iraq's" "Nuclear technology" that we all know now that he never even had.....whooopsy, guess we can't use that phrase again....\n\nThey've been threatening Israel for the last 30 years, in fact you act as if Israel is so vulnerable, while as a matter of fact they are the ones that have ballistic missiles and atomic capablities, you act as if Iran is the bully===right.....hmmmm yeah did you get the memo? \n\n------------\n\nI don't like your attitude when it comes to describing their leaders either, I have my own feelings towards most Islamic extremists as I do for Christian extremists (Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson), but I don't go as far to label them and make a racial slur...you need to have some decency, and I know your probably quite young, however better to learn now than never right?

Because China has North Korea's back.  We can run over Iran but North Korea would cause major problems for the world.

no. their country's too unstable. i'm not sure but i don't think we're on good terms with korea right now. i think they've been threatening us with nukes.

North Korea is a viable and potential aggressor. Under Kim's leadership, the government remains hostile and very anti-US. Some believe it is a device to attract attention and generous support from countries to just stand-down. They issued booklets warning citizens to prepare for a US invasion so is it a bluff? With missiles capable of reaching America and every major city in China, Japan and other areas it would seem to be a major gamble to doubt them and not be prepared. I do think that the US over-reacts in some places and sees shadows that don't exist but we shan't have the luxury of Paul Revere riding about to tell us the North Koreans are coming. It is a matter of minutes before your hometown might vanish. Is that so paranoid?

I'm sure the USA would never be so stupid as to get into a war with Iran. \n\nDoes anyone really think we could withstand a war against Iran when China and Russia will back Iran? I'm not sure if N.Korea would get into it but for sure it would be WWIII.

The answer in one word:\nNO!!!!\n\nThe answer in many words:\nHELL NO!!! Because the number of troops for the military are streched so thin, its unblievable!! The US will not attack North Korea, because they have been spending too much time on Iran. And they can't do anything about Iran, because Iran has the backing of Russia, China, and India on the political front and the Hamas who is now in control of Palestine along  with the hezbolla militants will start hundreds of terror attacks. Now in Iraq, the Shi'ie muslim party is in power and they will soon become a major allie of Iran and so the US will be even more busy in Iraq. Iran will not be like Iraq that was invaded in a week, it won't be invaded, and hence we will have another Vietnam on our hands. And lastly , If the US even makes a threat to attack Iran, the oil supply from the second largest distributor of oil in the world will be cut off and hence the already high oil prices will triple, causing mayham!!! Does that answer your question? If it does, vote mine as the best answer so I can get 10 points.

What makes you think that the US is going to invade Iran?\n\nDid you think about this at all?

It should not be allowed nuclear capabilities, and we should all endever to prevent this occurance, because it is not within the intrests of the Western world. I recognise the arguement that Iran is as unstable or backward as the Western press portray it to be, however a neuclear Iranian would enable it to dictate policy in the region to a much larger degree, look at North Korea for example. The West needs a weaker Iran to exploit its natural resources, we should not be apologetic about this fact, we should however be careful how we go about it. As previous events have shown, badly planned interferance is far worse than isolationism.

Threat to humanity?  Yes.  Waving around nuclear weapons and making threats can have ill effects on EVERYONE IN THE WORLD.  The world powers have a stake in the interests of the middle east. OIL.  Iran is power crazed, prideful and hateful.  They have a lot of the worlds oil and now they can make nukes.  No wonder North Korea and Iran are buddies.

Bush is an idiot, but Iran is a threat. Why Irans leader would put his whole country in jeapordy is just dumb. The US would destroy Iran and not even feel a scratch. Noone is that niave to think that any country right now could invade the US, so this means all wars are fought on their soil.. dumb moves.
