it depends on the person....we're not all the same you know, which is a very common mistake that many foreigners make with americans, but me personally, i wouldn't want war unless mayb they actually attacked us

The outcomes of such war would be pretty unsure, provided the US don't use chemical or nuclear weapons. The reason being that Iranians can be less equipped than the US but they are millions (millions of people in the Army i mean + those who would take a weapon should the US attack, exactly as it is happening in Iraq). \nDespite what many Americans or other people may think, Iranians are not stupid nor very much afraid of Americans. I think a war against Iran would end up exactly as the war in Iraq. Thay may fix Ahmadinejad but not all the clones coming out of there, turning the war into a permanent guerrilla, which in turn would cause a Vietnam-like situation. \nIt's what is happening in Afghanistan; it's what's happening in Iraq (And the US don't seem to envisage any tactics change) and it will also happen with Iran and Syria (Where Bush is planning to go immediately after Iran, as soon as he gets another valid excuse to gain some more oil fields). \nAnother point is: Are you all sure that EVEN IF, should the US win a war against Iran, causing millions of victims, that would be a victory in economic and diplomatic terms. No because what many out there didn't get yet is that in the world there are other countries too apart from the US and that means that certain actions are subject to the approvals of others too, at least because if you start a war next to my home country, i may have to handle refugees, terrorists etc. \nIn short, i think the outcomes of a war between US and Iran are very very far from seeing the Americans 100% winners. As a matter of fact they are not winning in Afghanistan nor in Iraq at the moment (It's a fact!).\n\nAnd mind me, all the above doesn't come from an antiamerican integralistic muslim, but rather from a Pro-America italian who has simply realized that the US are going a little bit too far in their so called "DEMOCRATIZATION" of middle east. And for those who may find my statements insulting, i'd suggest you all to wonder why the US didn't invade Saudi Arabia yet, since they are the root of the problem in that area...Will it be because Saudi Arabia produces 1/3 of all oil reserves in the world? Or because they enjoy a special relationship with the US? Or because they allow the US to keep their airforce bases over there (although not liking americans)?.....\nWinning a war is not simply killing the enemy and leaving the country. In these cases it's more about FIXING THE ONGOING ISSUES AND STABILIZING THE AREAS. \n\nThis would be best achieved with a President that is not Bush!A new Reagan would do as he had the brain it took and the balls to keep it real when situations get hard to handle, like in this case.

of course peace should be the target for everybody in this world,but FAIR PEACE.\nif usa or israel or anybody else attacked IRAN or any other nation,its logic that they should defend themselve by attacking back.

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.

It now appears a foregone conclusion that Iran will continue its nuclear program no matter what the United States and European Union offer to stop it. A military strike would likely be futile, since Iran has hardened and dispersed its nuclear complex. \n\nA war, even a limited one, will almost certainly raise oil prices to recession-inducing levels, as Iran cuts itself off from global markets.\n\nThere are fearfully powerful arguments against the use of the military option. But multiplied together, squared, and then cubed, the weight of these arguments does not come close to matching the case for us to stop, by whatever means may be necessary, Iran from becoming a nuclear power. \n\nIf Iran gets safely and unmolested to nuclear status, it will be a threshold moment in the history of the world, up there with the Bolshevik Revolution and the coming of Hitler. \n\nAnd the kind of society we live in and cherish in the West will change beyond recognition. We balk now at intrusive government measures to tap our phones or other intrusions into our civil liberties. Imagine how much more our freedoms will be curtailed if our governments fear we are just one telephone call or e-mail, one plane journey or truckload, one lead-lined cargo ship away from another Hiroshima. \n\nYou ask what are the odds of an attack, over 50%, there are timeposts that military tacticians, i'm sure are looking at. The estimated dates of an operational nuke in Iran is anywhere between 2007 and 2012. \n\nThere are reports that the Israel deadline for strikes against Iran are the end of March. American air strikes on Iran would vastly exceed the scope of the 1981 Israeli attack on the Osiraq nuclear center in Iraq, and would more resemble the opening days of the 2003 air campaign against Iraq. Using the full force of operational B-2 stealth bombers, staging from Diego Garcia or flying direct from the United States, possibly supplemented by F-117 stealth fighters staging from al Udeid in Qatar or some other location in theater, the two-dozen suspect nuclear sites would be targeted. \n\nTehran has confirmed that it will retaliate if attacked, in the form of ballistic missile strikes directed against Israel (CNN, 8 Feb 2005). These attacks, could also target US military facilities in Iraq and Persian Gulf, which would immediately lead us into a scenario of military escalation and all out war.

I think it is typical of the American hypocricy when it comes to strategic necessity. They were sure Al Quaida came from Afghanistan so they bombed the hell out of that place, then they believe Iraq trained and supplied them so it became ONE reason for making war on them sanction-strangled poor sods, however the fact that Pakistan is a Muslim country which in some ways supports Al Quaida activities has nothing to do with America's necessity to keep a nuclear partner on its side.\nStrange that they should denounce Iran for developing nuclear potential because it doesn't play ball but its ok for the Pakistanis to have it? America is a strange and powerful creature. Robert Fisk and Noam Chomsky are good on this stuff, as well as Robert Kagan.

I've been saying this for months. I've told EVERYBODY that after the elections, the U.S., Great Britain, and/or Israel WILL strike Iran.\n\nThink about it...  . . .We're not about to let them get NUCLEAR BOMBS.

Actually no.\n\nThey made a very rigorous attempt during the Israel/Hezbollah conflict but basically got slapped back. I think it being an election year hindered any plans for aggression towards Iran.\n\nThe backlash of popular opinion was enormously against any Iranian aggression and I think that shocked the Bush administration. I think they were expecting more support like they got for invading Iraq.\n\nAnyways, if you look at events since then, they have backed way off of any thoughts towards attacking Iran. Bush actually stated, ".... we have to respect the processes of the UN..."\n\nNow tell me that isn't a flip flop... and I have land to sell you on the Florida water.

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.

With all due respect , sgt_k is a total idiot  , learn how to respect others' opinion then start talking ... \n\nback to the topic , well, yes, i agree with yunussh ... for the following reasons : \n\n1- we have known what is the meaning of being told by america that somebody or a country is having a mass destruction weapons , it's a big lie like what happened in iraq , but iran would never let america do the same thing , simply iran can make what the american would never expect. \n\n2- we know that israel has a nuclear power , it threats all the muslims around it , who knows if they haven't already invent a bomb with a short range of action that , for example , can destroy egypt without affecting israel itself? , that's why , countries near israel has the right to defend themselves in the way they can , you can't stop iran unless you assure the whole world is having nothing called nuclear power. \n\n3- america is doing all that because of israel , techniquely speaking , iran can't threat amecrica in a way or another ! they are thousands of kilos far away ,but when it is about israel , yes america can do any idiot step for the sake of israel , why ? because isreal , 10 million people , is controlling every single step america is doing , shame on you american !\n\nfinally , don't ever dream that what happened to iraq will repeat itself ,,, american soldiers themselves won't accept a new war and now they know that a muslim can really be happy to die when it's about making strangers out of his country ,, leave us alone , or u never be in peace ...\n\n\ngourge bush or any other president , american will never elect a president who hates israel , that's why we never expcet a good thing from you , america .. \n\n\nnow , was it convincing?

America has the best interests of the world in it mind. I don't know if you know this, but Iran it what's called a theocracy, where the most zealous religious leader is also the country's governmental head. This may not seem that bad, and in many cases it isn't, but given the radical sects of Islam that hold power in that country, and given their goals to eradicate America and the infidels, I can't see how anyone would support giving them the capability to conduct nuclear warfare.\n\nEDIT: Also, remember this: "Caps Lock is the cruise control to cool!"

Personally .. \n\ni think Americans wouldnt even bat an eye,, I think we are so removed from the fragility of life that war to us is all about Heroes and Freedom and Honor.. Just words... the truth is war brings death and bloodshed.. no honor there, doesnt matter what you are fighting for.. (no disrespect to those who have lost loved ones in any campaigne, my sympathies)\n\nHaving said that sometime we do have to stand up for ourselves.. of late though we seem to be doing it on a whim. Of late it seems that we look more for a reason to go to war then for a reason to avoid it..pre-emtive strikes dont save lives... regardless of how accurate the threat assesment may be or have been.. they will be deaths in launching the premtive strike and what happens if the threat was over stated or frabricated for a different agenda?\n\nWith Iran I think we would open the biggest can of worms ever.. I doubt it will come to that though (war).. or atleast i hope so... A few years ago a report on the middle east highlighted Iran with its large youth popullation as the most likely to become fully democratic and open stronger ties with the west.. And most experts on the region will tell you the Iraq war and the images of civilian casualties and buse has turned the tide.. They have elected the most radical leader they could find and seem to have developed a renewed animosty to the west.. \n\nThe idiotic thing is, we keep telling other nations that they cant have Nukes and that their nations are a liability and here we are not only in possession of nukes but actually doing research on new nuclear weapons while we have a mad man at the helm who has already proven that he will not hesitate to go to war (faulty intelligence or not)\n\nWe are making mistakes in our foriegn policy and we have been for a while and in doing so we are creating some of the problems that we will ourselves have to contend with in the future. Ironically with the middle east if you look into the history of the region you will see cycles of western betrayal, force and exploitation, the French, the British and U.S.. They honestly have no reason to want to work with us and we are doing everything we can to make sure it stays that way.  \n\nNot sure if many of you remember Donald Rumsfeld Attacha' to Iraq in the 1980's calling Saddam a fine gentlman and actually supporting and assiting him in his weapons build-up against Iran. Or the fact that we armed the Mujaihadeen... who today make up a large part of Al-Quida.. \n\nAnd how do we know that the civilian casualties we call colatarol damage or the price of freedom, or casualties of war.. will not lead surviving family to turn to terrorism to evange those that have died in this conflict.\n\nSee what everyone has forgotten is, that it is not so much who Osama Bin Laden is or what these terrosists want or how we can kill them.. but rather how are a few really, really evil people able to mobalize so many to the point of suicide attacks.. what is it that makes them believe.. that is what we need to tackle.. and they hate our freedom is the most idiotic attempt at explaining this.. \n\nTerrorism is the most effective form of war far.. we ourselves used it in the war of independence (Gorrila warfare is a form of terrorism, so was the malitia tactics).. and you will also find that whenever a people are faced with a power greater then their own they turn to terrorism.. that does not make it right.. but the question is simple what are we doing wrong... \n\nThey hate our freedom.. do you really believe that ... ?\n\nbloody mess.

Iran was a U.S. ally until the Islamic Revolution in 1979.  When they deposed the Shah of Iran and his wife from power we gave them sancuary in the U.S.  As a result students stormed the U.S. Embassy and held the entire staff 40 some people hostage for 444 days before releasing them.  We supported Saddam's Iraq in the war between Iran and Iraq that lasted for 7 years, however we did sell some arms to Iran during the Reagan Presidency thus causing the Iran -Contra Scandal.  The Iranian people have what is close to an Islamic state and are currently thumbing their nose at the worlds nations questions about their Nuclear Program. They are saying if the Nations insist on Arms Inspectors to be allowed access to what they are doing, then they will not allow them in and go full force into the project.  Their current President is also sponsoring a conference to discuss the myth that we call the Holocust.\n\n1) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian people have what they are calling a democracy, in which the people have very little say.\n\n2) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian government is led by those that are more than a few bricks shy of a full load.

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...

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.
