The problem is not between Iran and the US.  It is between Iran and most of the civilized world (and part of the uncivilized world too).  Ultimately the problem is between Iran and itself.  Iran is sleepwalking toward a war that they will lose.  They think that the issue is whether they "deserve" to have nuclear weapons.  This is not the issue.  The real issue is whether the US, Israel, and others will allow them to have nuclear weapons.  And the answer to this is "no".  If Iran does not stop pushing this, they will get lit up.

Sorry Longjohn but do you know what are you talking about? \nDo you know that Iran related groups in Iraq are the most dangerous ones and they are silent because of Iran?\nOh, you don't believe me, just go and check Moqtada Sadr speeches, can you remember how many attacks his followers did? And US troops dare not to capture him because it would turn Iraq to the real hell.\nHe abandoned military actions just because of Another Islamic leader ordered him to and do you know what is the name of this another leader? \nHis last name is Sistani, funny fact is that Sistan is somewhere in east of Iran so this guy is Iranian too.\nAnyways I warn you and US troops here, in the border of Iran and Iraq in mountains of Kurdestan a group of heinous warriors live that call themselves 'Komole' and none of the governments there(Iran, Turkey, Iraq) dare not to go there. They are professionals in beheading using opened can edge(These are serious facts which I can prove you).\nThey will easily kill a soldier just for his clothes. They can sell a US military boot in Tehran around 100$.

Small amounts have been found in Iraq, though not at the levels we believed.  Personally, I still believe that they could've been removed, but that's a debate for another day.  \n\nThe current Iran situation is that Iran is seeking nuclear power, however, most of, if not all of the world sees right through their current nuclear work as purely for the attainment of a nuclear weapon.  The president has even gone so far as to publicly state that he wishes to wipe Isreal off the map.  All we'd really like to do is to go in and see for ourselves how advanced they are, and they're denying that as well.

We're not at war with Iraq. We are helping the democratically elected Iraq government fight the terrorist insurgents and the foreign terrorist invaders (from Iran and Syria). \n\nI don't want to sound harsh, but do you have the slightest clue as to what is going on at all?

In totally agreeing with you, dare I also add: \nBetween Afghanistan and Iraq, over 50 million people have been liberated. Both the Taliban and the Bathists have been taken out of power, Saddam is on trial by the people of the country he ravaged for decades. Pakistan and India along with 129 other countries are now our allies in this war. The emerging Representative Republic of Iraq, with their new constitution, is now giving hope to the whole mid eastern region. Many changes are now taking place in Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and several other Arab countries. 14 of the Iraqi provinces are quite secure, with two more, more or less secure. The only real hot spots now are the two in the so called Sunni triangle. The Iraqi economy is now growing by about 10% a month. Since it has many natural resources (fertile land and lots of water and the worlds largest un-tapped oil reserve)they have now re-planted all the thousands of date palms that Saddam destroyed and are now exporting produce to Iran, Turkey, Jordan and other countries in the area. At any other time, a conflict like this would over run their neighbors with refugees. In this case the opposite is true, the refugees are returning to Iraq from where they have been for years. \nPilgrims are flocking to their shrines on holy days\nLittle girls are now going to school for the first time, not only in their young lives, but for several generations. Women now may vote and some even hold office in their new government of the people, for the people and by the people and under the threat of death. I some times wonder if we shouldn't just give them our once wonderful constitution that the ACLU and the Neo-Socialists of this country have been hell-bent and Devil driven to destroy, after all, we don't use it any more any how.

What a mess! USA, Saudi, Saudi, Turkey, Iran, Syria all looking to control the Iraqi oil, the US. sure has a lot to answer for, the instability is has created will cause problems for many years in the middle east, was this the intention? maybe it was, oilmen love high oil prices, arms manufacturers, and military suppliers love war. This catastrophe was predicted, but ignored. Now no-one can predict what will happen next, but you can sure there will be no peace in the region. The Bush regime will back the Saudis as they are like one big family, maybe Saudi approves/ helped develop US. policy, whatever happens the Shites will unite, and if they are bombed they'll unite more quickly. The US. will continue to guard their stolen oil fields, until their war funding is cut off, and when they are forced to leave it will be a free-for-all.

there's nothing we can do about iraq. everything that's going on there and everywhere else was meant to happen. the u.s is in iraq now so that they can set up camp for when they go and start picking on iran and later get into what we know as armageddon. read revelations in the bible, it will tell you all you need to know...

A long, fantastic history...mucked up by the British when they took over the dismantling of the Ottoman Empire (after WW1, I think?) and installed a regency called the Shah.  Shia Islam predominates and the country is (effectively) run on religious grounds by a council of Ayatollahs.  It has a President who is insensitive to the outside world's viewpoint (to put it mildly) and it is currently awaiting the outcome of the UN Security Council's deliberation on its reluctance to allow the Atomic Energy Authority full and free access to its nuclear program, ostensibly for power.  Those who are mistrustful of it reckon that Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons which, given it's current President's comments on Israel, is understandable if (possibly) incorrect.\n\nDo I get Best Answer?

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.

Oh yeah, Iraq is working out so well.  Iran, with a laregr populice that actually supports its government, would work out even better.\n\n(Incidentally, I think the idea of trying to convince Iran that it doesn't need nuclear weapons by threatening to drop nuclear weapons on it, as the Bush administration floated over the weekend, is brilliant psychology.)

Iran is a theocracy. Their religious leaders are also their political leaders. Although the people themselves are very westerniazed, their leaders are not which leads to a lot of discontent within the people. They are about 10 years away from having a working nuclear program, but are a nuclear threat. Don't know what else you want to know without you asking specifics, but that was some random stuff.

I just spoke with a friend who's preparing to go to Iraq for the military.  Now he's not sure where exactly he'll be headed (Iraq or Iran).  But he and I agree that it is best to address the Iran issue BEFORE it becomes a PROBLEM.  It's easier to fix now than later.

I sympathize with your country's situation. But you have to understand that you have been taken control under a theocracy that is ruled by an anti-semitic radical muslim. We can't trust Iran's word to say that they will only use it for nuclear power giving the history of disagreement with Israel. Ahmanidejad has said he will blow up Israel and he doens't believe the Holocaust ever happened. The Iran-Iraq war was horrible and innocent lives were lost. The U.S. at that time did help Saddam because we viewed Iran as a bigger threat. I apologize on my country's behalf. But we were nervous of a potential Middle East crisis and we tried to salvage it. It's because of this history that we can't trust Ahmanidejad because we can't run the risk of him blowing up Israel or take over a weak Iraq. If this occurs, it will expand the war in the Middle East and possibly create a WWIII which will hurt everybody. This is why we don't support nuclear development in Iran. If you can guarantee us that Iran won't blow up Israel then who knows? Until then, try to see this from our point of view.

Everyone, Settle down. Lets say if the us does attack Iran with in the next few months... there will be a few issues to arrise. \n\nHow can we maintain a constant shipment of oil and goods through the persian gulf?\n\nWhat will be the toll of a full scale in vasion on Iran?\n\nWill Isreal play a part?\n\nNow, considering our current locations you have to realize we are surronding Iran. East- Afghan. West- Iraq SW- Persian Gulf (Which contains US Navy Bases) We have an extremely good capability on the assault on Iran because there Ballistic Missile program doesnot hurt the US (It can really successfully target Isreal and european countries. And due to lack of accuracy there missiles can not really successfully target iraqi or afghan US bases though possible) \n\nThe actual use of US Soldiers will most likely be minimal in comparison to the Iraq effort. Most of Iran's time money and effort has gone into three things, Ballistic Missiles, Navy equip and Nuclear engineering. They are still very Third world in other aspects of military life. \n\nNow, as far as China is concerned they have recently tried to deal with russia in regards to oil (very lil US oil comes from Iran) so they can circumvent Iran. Also, China is trying to increase Sino-US relations as far as terrorism is concerned so they will most likely not take any sort of side in this conflict.\n\nRussia, they might be overall neutral but slightly more Bias towards Iran due to the fact they still have deep issues with the US. They might help Iran but the aid would be minimal incase of conflict because they do not want any open-press coverage of something like that.\n\nIsreal- The questions with Isreal's involvement are more less simple but the answers are TBD. Will Iran try to strike Isreal in last effort? Will Syria get involved(with their own goal ie: taking back the homeland) if Isreal does?\nHow will Jordan come into play, or will they not?\n\nSaudi Arbia, UAE, Quatar, Bahrain and Oman- All of these countries success lie with in US/european markets. I whole heartedly beleive they will try to stir some propaganda about this NOT being a religous war so they can gain more money and profits. Thank god for greed.\n\nPakistan- Due to the border relation with Iran will Pakistan be Neutral? They cant go against the US, They are to close of an alie. But If they did non can gurantee India would not attack them and end them for good.\n\nThats all I am gonna cover if you have any other ?'s, as always, Just Ask! : )

If Iran remains stubborn on the issue and fails to cooperate with the UN inspectors like Saddam did, or continues to insist on gathering the materials to make a nuclear bomb, there is a very real danger of that happening. I truly hope not, but Iran's leader may force our hand, again, just as Saddam did. Pray for peace, my friend. There's been enough bloodshed and war, but we will do what we have to do. God bless.
