How many think we should attack Iran ?

[RethugAssKicker]

I for one don't, but it seems that many here believe that we should.

If you do, what are your reasons?

[Beelzebud]

1. Only Neo-Conservatives want war with Iran.

The greatest threat to our country right now is the Neo-Conservative movement.

The reason? It has no party boundries. There are Neo-Conservatives in both parties. example: Joe Lieberman

[Lowell]

2. Makes more sense to attach washington n/t

[enigma000]

3. At the 11th hour, at the last possible moment

When the world knows Iran is about to go nuclear, that would be the only acceptable time.

Else, we learn to live with a nuclear Iran & make it clear that any unexplained nuclear detonation anywhere in the world will be blamed on them. And then the dying begins...........

[Buzz Clik]

4. You're kidding. There are people here who think it's a good idea?

:banghead:

[bmbmd]

8. Not such a good idea now.

Was a good idea during the hostage crisis....

[RethugAssKicker]

15. I've gotten that feeling from some.... thus I did this survery...

Some who were very anxious to destroy Lebanon, seemed to also be anxious of going all the way to Iran.

[Buzz Clik]

23. Amazing. Amazingly insane.

Shall we invade North Korea while we're at it? We'd lose there, too.

[angstlessk]

5. I agree...mostly those who supported the attacks on Lebanon think

we should attack Iran. And THEY are Democrats. UGH!

[Beelzebud]

7. Not Democrats. Neo-Conservatives.

Neo-Cons don't have a party. They take parties over from the inside. Look at the Republican party.

6. I Think We Should

Too many of our brave troops are sitting in relative safety & being denied their equal opportunity to be shot at by weapons their armor can't protect against. Besides, there may still be countries that don't hate us - how can we unify the World in hate of our nation if we don't invade yet another country who is no real threat to us or their neighbors?

[angstlessk]

9. You forgot a smilie, did you not?

:sarcasm:

[The Deacon]

12. Now,

Would I use sarcasm in dealing with actions by Our Dear Leader, Geoge W. Bush?

[readmoreoften]

10. If we attack Iran it will be the end of everything.

If we use a mix of nuclear and conventional weapons, as is being laid out now, we will cause thousands of instantaneous deaths and millions of slow deaths through nuclear radiation. We will not be able to engage on the ground without a draft. We will rift with Russia and China. China can pull the plug on our economy at any point.

The fact that we are moving into Iran means that the PNAC considers Iraq enough of a success to continue with their project. Think about that one. It's what keeps me up at night.

[RockHardCore]

11. Honestly...

I get very scared when I think about Bush attacking Iran. I think it would really be the end.

[LSK]

13. Hell No

When did Iran attack us??

When did Iran attack ANYONE?? EVER???

[PinkyisBlue]

14. We should continue our assault on the rest of the world

by attacking Iran, then go on to France (who are they to diss us)? Then let's finish off Lebanon. After that, we should go after Venezuela; that'll show them for offering to help us with discounted oil (plus we want to control all that oil they have, er, I mean, we want to ensure they have a viable democracy). :sarcasm:

[noonwitch]

16. Let the Israelis bomb them/or find a way to start a new revolution

Let our combined intelligence find out where the nuclear weapons are being made and let their air force bomb the shit out of those locations. It's not really a war, but it would be more of a targeted bombing campaign.

The people of Iran are not happy with their leadership. There is a vast, well-educated middle class in Tehran and other large cities that would love to see the mullahs' political power gone, but are afraid of the repercussions of a full-scale revolution, mainly the killing and the maiming of innocents that accompanies any war.

But there has to be a way to keep them from building nuclear weapons without killing a bunch of innocents.

[enigma000]

19. Mullah's won't make it that easy for us

They know our aversion to civilian casualties and will make damn sure every research station, assembly site, storage base is next to, or below, civilian populated areas. Hospitals, schools, daycares, baby formula processing plants, you know........

[geek tragedy]

17. I haven't seen anyone advocate an attack on Iran.

I sure as hell am opposed to the idea.

[Behind the Aegis]

18. I haven't either.

However, it is not to say someone hasn't suggested it. Do you of the survey the OP is referring?

Like you, I am also opposed to military action against Iran, by anyone.

[bryant69]

20. A few points

1. There is a difference between thinking that Iran is a problem and thinking we are ok. There's some middle ground there.

2. There's also a difference between thinking Iran is a bad regime and thinking we should invade. It is frusterating to see the occasional defense of Iran that gets a bit to rose colored.

3. You should take a real poll, if you think there are a lot of people (numerically) who support invading Iran. Let them vote anonymously and lets see how many there are.

21. don't look like you're getting many takers

what's your reason for asking such a question, actually
in a year and a few days I can't say I have read anyone here advocating attacking Iran.:shrug:

an inquiring mind wants to know

[RethugAssKicker]

24. Only 1 taker....

I was just curious, as there were so many anxious to bomb the shit out of Lebanon.

And then the absolute hatred for the PM of Iran is also a bit nerving.

[Behind the Aegis]

25. The situations are different.

The situation with Iran, is not the same as it was with Lebanon. Also, Iran has no Prime Minister. You are thinking of their President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

[DemInDistress]

22. I don't.. let's attack Pakistan they got nukes and Osama.

Should Musharraf get knocked off then their nukes become a serious threat. A 20 cents K-Mart bullet could take him out and then what. If the Americans can't secure a new friendly regeime in Pakistan watch out.

Attacking Iran is part and parcel for the PNAC plan. On 911 the neocons made a cold calculating move that had the desired effect, it united the country.... even me, as much as I hated that idiot king I supported the country's decision to get the perps..

as the months and yrs. passed what did I learn? LIHOP...then MIHOP
