What should Bush do about Iran?

Question

How should he avoid the pitfalls of being a "warmonger" and being "asleep at the wheel," criticisms of him with respect to Iraq and 9/11 respectively?

Take a good look at the landscape and come up with a plan.

Thanks!

Answer 1

He needs to conclusively determine what, if any, impact Iran is having on Iraq and ruin any plans they have to disrupt our progress. If they are building nuclear weapons, he needs to stop that, either through diplomacy, sanctions or war if necessary.

Answer 2

A plan you said. There can hardly be any good one available. The truth is that the warmonger thing has tainted his image so badly that the world would not accept any war proposal against any country in the world, except if the country is adjudged to have attacked US physically. In the case of Iran they have not attacked US and would not attack US at least in a long time to come.

So the best option is to play it the old way, which would probably not work. The old way is the cold war style. Economic and Military sabotage. But why it succeeded during the cold war was because the two countries were affraid of attacking each other. In the case of Iran they are not affraid of attacking America if they can get the weapons. Any plan would simply be an exercise in futility.

Answer 3

The same thing he should do about Chavez, Cuba, Sudan, Russia, China, and half the countries on earth.

He should stop pretending to be Napoleon. He should get the military ready in case of an attack, (and star wars or whatever), make sure no foreign submarines enter American waters, use sanctions and international pressure if it looks necessary, but not attack first.

He's acting very imperial Japanese lately, pre-emptive strikes, torture, blaming citizens for being unpatriotic.

Answer 4

Simple use B-2 Stealth Bombers, take out the targets. Bush can't be reelected so he can do what he thinks is right and does not have to worry about the "Politics" side of it.

If the UN EVER tried to bring up Bush on war crimes they should expect a Ryder van full of fertilizer and diesel fuel to show up in the lobby shortly after.

Answer 5

He must have open dialog with the enemy...If you don't talk,how can any disagreement get resolved? It's time for Bush not to dictate to other countries but to show other countries that the rewards are much greater when the world is at peace.

Answer 6

Be ready for the inevitable airstrike on Iranian nuke sites by Israel, because that will be like poking a hornet's nest. We will not allow them to strike back at Israel.

Answer 7

Iran has got to go. Really Komani was better than this guy.
He thinks the muslim messiah is coming!

They have Christians and Jews wearing badges like the Nazis did.

They want us dead.... like that kid Danni K said (see below)

Bring it on ....
our national parks are bigger than Spain and France combined.

Answer 8

try diplomacy and have them help in iraq,like they are helping rebuild afghanistan. bush and ahmadinejin are just playing a childish game. irans help in iraq will help stabilize it,after that iran and the US can stop interfering,unless asked for help.
as long as he don't use reagans plan of trading weapons to iran for hostages or even supply weapons to iran,like reagan.

Answer 9

Same thing he did with Iraq, but notice he doesn't go after the real threat in Iran, North Korea, or stay the course in Afghanistan...not enough oil?

Answer 10

I would say the best thing is to sit down and have a serious chat with them, like the Baker Commisson suggested.
