Why don't the USA invadE IRAN? Surely NUCLEAR WEAPONS in the hands of MUSLIMS is a bad idea???/?

Answer 1

That's just the point. No one wants to give these wackos a reason to push the button. Remember, they want to die for their God, we don't!!

Answer 2

A the us is a little stretched budgetwise
B there are more than a few nations in the area that are suspected to have developed nuclear weapons (e.g. israel and libya)
C more instability is the last thing the middle east needs right now
it's allready bad enough that Israel is trying his best to start WW3
D violence can be a solution but it is never a good one.
E nuclear weapons in the hands of any one (including certain moronic presidents leading world powers) are always a bad idea

Answer 3

Hello, Iran is 10 years away from the capability of producing a Nuclear Weapon.

They just figured out how to enrich industrial grade Uranium 3-5%. Weapons grade is 92-97% and as such is more difficult to handle and process.

Answer 4

It might be because Iran possesses Katiuska and other new conventional Russian missile systems capable of wiping out the US Navy in approximately five minutes (also successfully tested by the Chinese). Just in case you don't think that would make a difference, in the Crimean War in the nineteenth century, all it took was 5 minutes of a new type of bombardment from iron-clad French ships for the Russians to realize they could not win, and the war was over.

Answer 5

If we can draw upon the success of invading Iraq, I think the answer to your question is clear.

Invading, killing and toppling is easy.... replacing with a functional form of government that vows to the USA and places Allah on page 2 is hard.

Muslims already have nukes in Pakistan so Iran won't be the first muslim country to have them.

Answer 6

Any extremist with nuclear capabilities is dangerous...

Iran has a very close political relationship with Russia, a closer business relationship with China, needles to say that Iran has a powerful army...invasion is out of the table...for the moment..plus the US seems to be running out of economic resources..slowly

I do not think a having too many fronts is a good military strategy.
N. Korea plus Iran plus Irak do your math...and you will end up with a minus...

Answer 7

the USA did not invade Iran because it was to hard to get enough troops into that country. We were all tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. beside how good would it look for bush to say to the American people that we were going into another war.

Answer 8

The only time nuclear weapons have been used in the past, they were used by non-Muslims.

Answer 9

Yes it is a bad idea but we cant invade Iran becuase countries like China would probably get involved.

Answer 10

Nuclear weapons are a bad idea. And who has them? The few in power- who are capable and willing to kill every last one of us just to win the empty ideologies they seek. And those in power are those with the money to make this happen- be it Muslim, Christian, Israel, Americans, Pakistians, North Korea... and you can add to this lsit yourself.... Nuclear weapons in the blind hands of power is the worse idea.
