Again, there's no point in even addressing what political issues you're implying, because it's a fact that Iran can not and will not set off a nuke here.  That would be considered an act of nuclear war, and we would retaliate with an unbelievable amount of nuclear firepower, which would squash Iran like a tiny bug under a giant boot.  You don't really want to enrage 300 million patriots backed by a trillion-dollar, apocalypse-bringing nuclear arsenal do you?

They already have it! It is called a Grid Square MRE Bomb! It is freaking awesome! Ithink there is actual footage of it on the internet!

Not until a large scale disaster. The only people dumb enough to do it are terrorist. They would most likely detonate a dirty bomb in New York or L.A. to maximize damage. I would say if it did happen sometime after 2010. No country would risk nuking us because we would destroy them.

This question is nearly impossible to answer.  If you were born in Iran, your 'input' would be so completely different from the way it is here..you would be 'taught' what to think of America just as we are 'taught' what to think of Iran.  If you were born in Iran, you could not possibly have the same brain [meaning thoughts and beliefs] as you do now.  The situations, experiences and everyday 'teaching' are so completely different.  We would like to THINK that we would like American EVEN if we were born elsewhere, but propoganda being what it is, that is highly unlikely.  We are fed so much info on other countries, much of which is not actually true, just as other countries have a distorted and false view of the reality of America.  The only way for any of us to know the true essence of another country..as best we can.. is to live there, in their shoes and in their lives.. but we can never TRULY know.. because we weren't born into their lives.. into their beliefs and into the things they have been told and taught from birth.

Vow Marianne, don't accept what people claim to be.\nThey announce that everyone who sign up for this Suiside Bombing show will get a raise on his paycheck and you can imagine how many people will sign up , they usually force some of Military people to join it and they happily accept it for few days off. They will march once and go back to their homes.\nA suiside bomber needs to be a little insane because of very bad circumstances, he needs to think he is doing it for God, freedom, his country and his family, this is possible for a Palestinian not an Iranian.\nHave you heard of any suiside bombing done by Iranians? You can check 9/11, Israel and Iraq suiside attacks and all the sources you have. Have you heard any Iranian in Al-Quada?\nEven religious Iranians don't like such acts, they rather to go Iraq as a pilgrim instead of terrorist.\nIranian has threatened Israel for 30 years,  no harm to Israel has done by Iran, I mean it is true that Iran supports some of Anti Israel groups a little but US has a Anti Iran budget, we can call it even.\nIran and Israel relationship is too complicated, many famous Jews are from Iran, Jews are really free in Iran(Like everywhere else they are in Business), they have same enemies(Arabs don't like Iranians too, they call Iranians Ajam which means shallow people and Iranians can't forget what Arabs did when they capture Iran just once), Farsi is a spoken language in Israel(this one is from wikipedia) and many other facts that I can't remember now.\nAnyways I can't understand why Pakistan who has supported Bin Laden and Taleban can have nukes and Iran can't use it for peaceful energy making, Iran and West will find a political solution for enrichment problem as soon as West come with a good offer, Iranians know that US can't invade Iran right now and UN will not support any attack on Iran(because of good relations with China and Russia) so they are playing a political game.\nI personally recommend you not be affraid of any of 52,000 Iranians suiside bombers, this is just a show.\nEdit: Ok, this Iraqi dude made me to give some facts that are not related to the subject at all and I don't like to discuss them here but there is no other choices.\n1. During a declared war and against military forces there  anything except chemical and nuclear weapons isn't prohibited, it is not a terrorist act against civilians, I don't know what you've heard about Iranian suiside bombers during Iran-Iraq war, there was some going into mine territory actions to open the road for others because Saddam had a taste for land mines.\nI think our government was absolutely right about liberating Iraq from Saddam, that is exactly  why US army is in Iraq now, we wanted to liberate you from a heinous dictator that use chemical weapon against you(Like Shalamche where thousands of Iraqi civilians died with Saddam chemical weapons) and some years next did a great massacre against Shiie people .\nOf course I'm with Israelis, that's not my problem, that's not my people problem, I don't care what they do to Arabs there, most of my people don't, Arabs problems are for their own, I have told before, its a tradition for Iranians to say wipe out Israel, nothing has done and will be done. Of course Iran has missles which can reach Israel, it is not a secret, Iran has tested them and US has seen the test, I have told here, these weapons have political uses not military ones, Iranians don't want a war, Iran president knows it.\nAbout our people, we are a multi race country, Arabs are those who you know about, we have Kurds, Lors, Torks, bakhtiari, Afghans, Armani, Ashuri(these are remains of the ancient civilization of Ashur and they are christians) and other races that I can't remember now, there isn't any problem within us, I haven't heard of any racial violence.\nYou have named Ahwas, I am Half Khuzestani, of course from a special tribe there who are no

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 merely opinion.\n\nI don't think the majority of the American people have a problem with the majority of the Iranian people.  However, there is a small minority of people in Iran that seem to be intent on the destruction of the United States.  Some of those people are now in power in Iran.\n\nYou ask why we think Iran is more dangerous?  Probably because those other countries' leaders have not openly called the United States "The Great Satan".  Probably because those countries aren't broadcasting constant anti-American propaganda.  \n\nWe have no problem with the people of Iran.  But we do have a problem with fanatic people in ANY nation who would illogically choose to use nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction because we choose not to follow Islam.  \n\nAnd, why is there so much fervor over a silly cartoon?  Yes, I agree that the cartoon profanes your prophet - peace be upon him, and I think it was in poor taste for them to do that.  But I've had people profane my God every day on here, and in the media.  I don't like it, but I'm not about to demonstrate and/or demand that they die or anything like that.\n\nIf leaders of Islam would demonstrate some tolerance and love towards America, we might see Islam in the light that your Prophet - peace be upon him - wanted the world to see.

maddy005, you can't expect all these liberals to be able to understand your instructions that this is to conservatives only.  To answer your question, Americans have not created false propaganda about Iran.  If you believe that it is false propaganda that is coming out right now, it's important for you to know who is putting out this false propaganda.  It's the evil International Atomic Energy Agency.  Also, Iran is building nuclear weapons while simultaneously calling for the destruction of Israel.  That doesn't sound like defending themselves to me, that sounds like murdering millions of people.

I doubt it.It wouldn't matter if the Iranian leader was the next Hitler.People in the US would still protest it,until it was too late and Iran developed a bomb that somehow wiped the US out.

I agree wholeheartedly.  A theory has been stated by Nicholas von Hoffman, "Democracies are always in the right, the United States is a democracy, therefore the United States is always right.  Added to the syllogism is the belief that, since America is the best democracy, it is righter than other democracies."  (Von Hoffman is a Liberal American.)  Likewise, since America was the first to use the atomic bomb, it believes is owns the "rights" to it and energy of the such.  Personally, I think it is like we are halting the growth of a nation.  ALL human beings are allowed to progress, regardless of what the United States has to say about it.  *Of course, if Iran does indeed have intentions to build a bomb, I will eat my words.

No. We've been here before with Korea and Vietnam. America would be incredibly stupid to make the same mistake again. \n\nIf America invades Iran (as America, and not through its proxy, Israel) America will be taken apart and humiliated in several ways:\n\n1 Militarily - America never wins such wars. It does not understand the passion of the peoples it oppresses. It always makes the mistake that military might wins out - it rarely does - the spirit of the people brings victory - and that spirit swells in the oppressed.\n\n2 Politically - all the World, and notably Europe, with Russia and China, will stand against America.\n\n3 Economically - the Islamic World will decimate US trade, not just oil, but shipping, property, automobile, air, military sales - you name it.\n\nThere will be no third World War over Iran - but America will be mightily defeated by the will of the third World.

No. At the moment, Japan is the underdog, with Koizumi panting and yapping at Bush's ankles!! \n\nIf it had been Japan that dropped the bombs, on America, it would be Bush panting and yapping at Koizumi's ankles!!\n\nBut seriously, of COURSE things would be different - you know that a man is only a 'war criminal' if he's on the losing side, so a few Americans might have been convicted, but no Japanese.\n\nAs for whether the Japanese would have been any more (or less) sadistic, cruel & manipulative to the Americans than the Americans have been to Japan - we'll NEVER know!

No!  We hate murderers and terrorists. I have 2 very good Iranian friends. I am an American with Polish, English, and German ancestry

twin,\n\nI certainly hope not.\n\nNothing that cannot be solved by a couple of well-placed smart munitions, however.\n\nThe U.S. and the world is right to be concerned about the likes of their ayatollah with nuclear capabilities.  The Iranians are unstable, led by an unstable person.  Who would feel safe with a maniac with a nuke button?
640884
Hopefully never. Even though Iran's push for enriched uranium is totally wrong, for the US to go and attack another arabic nation would open up a whole new bag of worms. I think Bush and his mates should get over themselves. Violence solves nothing...just causes more pain for more people.

TJ Says:\nEarthschoes I seriously believe we will go nuclear. If Iran even thinks about launching, well they know Isreal will blow them off the map. If Iran tries to sneak a nuke in the US and succeeds, well Iran will get wipe off the face of the Earth, even if Russia and China try to stop us.\n\nAnd it looks to me like we are near WW3.\nBRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!

It would be a great day. i think the world would be happy with America and that they might make a good choice.
