Trying to provoke Iran?

Question

Do you think President Bush is trying to provoke Iran into a war?

Or is Iran trying to provoke the US?

Lol...I just asked for an opinion. It's very sad that so many can't express their opinion without getting angry and criticizing others for their opinions...freedom of speech people!

Answer 1

No. That is actually a good question. I think that Pres. Bush is trying to gain the world support [especially the UN..because they didn't when they liberated Iraq] Bush just wants to make sure that he has an ally.

Answer 2

Trying to provoke Iran into making the first strike? Is that the question? It is pretty clear the Bush administration wants a war with Iran, and all this talk is really just political maneuvering for international support (to figure out a justification for the invasion).

Iran is clearly within its rights according to international law to develop nuclear technology for energy use. The real motivation behind Bush's propoganda war are the same as his motivation for Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL). Anyone who can't see that is clearly a good patriotic American sheeple.

I personally think they are going to wait until the next 9/11 event in the US and then simply blame Iran for that.... no matter who really did it.

Answer 3

Did Bush make Iran defy the UN and the EU3?
Did Bush make Iran announce it will annihilate Israel?
Did Bush make Iran send 'insurgents' and arms into Iraq to prevent Iraqis from achieving a peaceful and democratic government?
Did Bush make Iran select an extremist radical jihadist as its president?

No, it is Iran that is being provocative. Bush has been very low key in this whole thing, allowing the UN and the EU-3 to negotiate with Iran. They've failed so far, of course, because they are stuck in a Chamberlainian Munich Accord negotiating mode that has a perfect track record of being wrong 100% of the time.

And the Iranian people are rebelling against the theocratic oppression of their incompetent government, and their quest for freedom, like that of the Iraqis and Afghans before them, is also being studiously ignored by the media and the Democrats.

Answer 4

That's pretty obvious isn't it?

After getting a proposal from the EU for Iran to halt nuclear processing. Supposedly a sweet deal. Iran has been thinking it over which I thought was a good sign. Of course W has to get his testosterone in a bunch and start thretening Iran saying they are taking too long to decide. What a sorry head of state he is to always threaten.

But if you have been reading between the lines on Iraq and Iran, it's all about control of the oil. Although he has failed miserably in Iraq, he wants to try again in Iran. He will start an all out war with the Muslim countries yet. Ignoring human rights and the rights of soverign countrys in the middle east ought to land him in The Hague for war crimes if their is any justice.

Answer 5

Nah, but he's gotta call em out about nuclear technology. I'm down for Iran's sovereignty and all, but IF they've got nothing to hide, Iran could sacrifice this one battle of principle to shame the US and publicly humiliate us a second time (the first being WMD in Iraq).

The fact that they're staunchly, adamantly opposed to such a move leads many to believe they're lying-- which in turn justifies international concern, possibly action (since those nuclear weapons unarguable would be used against the US or its allies).

It's a f--king game-- global politics is on par with high school melodrama. It's ridiculous. Everyone intuitively knows what's going on, but actually saying is what makes $h!t official, and therefore "real."

Ridiculous.

Answer 6

Any nuclear guns software must have 3 factors: the layout for a weapon, fissile cloth to gasoline a weapon, and a shipping device, ideally a missile, for the weapon. the U. S. report says Iran had halted paintings on a "guns software." With both intense self belief the report concludes Iran is operating to advance fissile cloth, or the most ingredient for a nuclear bomb. The UN's IAEA confirms that Iran has a layout for a nuclear weapon, an same layout wide-spread to were possessed through the Pakistani Khan (ithat a chinese language version of a Russian layout). Iran itself declares its paintings and successes in progression its own intermediate decision missile able to wearing a nuke warhead. Their paintings is a version on the North Koran's paintings on a Russian missile layout. Iran's President proclaims that Iran can, and is, enriching uranium through a cascade of centrifuges, an same technologies used through Pakistan. The Iranians, the UN's IAEA, and the U. S. agree on 3 needs: that Iran has a layout, has a missile, and has some potential to produce its own enriched gasoline for a bomb. the U. S. now says it thinks Iran isn't actively at paintings assembling the factors into guns ( yet ignores the contradiction of its previously, both effective, looking that Iran became actively at paintings on such).. With a sufficient provide of three substances, Iran can assemble guns in a remember of months, and the most proper US estimate is that provide would properly be 2 years contained in the destiny, 2010. It takes in undemanding words one usa to have a nuclear conflict. Speedboats haven't any further some thing to do with nuclear conflict.

Answer 7

Hey, Ray S!! Nuclear proliferation IS our business as it is the business of the rest of the world. President Bush, as any good President, is looking after the safety and welfare of the citizens of this country. In no way is he trying to provoke a war. The fact is, he is trying to PREVENT one, one that will destroy much, if not all, of the world. Wake up!!

Answer 8

No. If anything, it's the other way around.

Here's the skinny on Iran's kooky leaders:

1) rampant human rights abuses

2) nuclear acquisitions in opposition to pretty much the entire world community

3) threatening to annihiliate neighboring Israel

4) when we put 2 and 3 together, it's pretty scary. Yes, other countries have nukes, including us. But other countries don't threaten their neighboring countries with nuclear destruction. That's the difference.

Answer 9

That's silly. Even if he WANTED another war, he knows that this isn't the time for it.

Personally, I think it's Ahmadinejad who is doing the provoking. He knows that Bush doesn't want another war right now, so he thinks he can do or say whatever he wants and get away with it.

Answer 10

I think this is going both directions. Both want to fight each other, yes want. Have you seen the propaganda already starting on the television against Iran here in America? We will be going to war with Iran, under the umbrella of the "War against Terror".

Answer 11

No, just trying to keep a lid on an explosive situation which also exists in North Korea and a whole bunch of other hot spots. Sooner or later a nation or a terrorist individual is going to blow up a nuclear weapon. It's not if, it's when and where.
