Why would we invade Iran with the same premise we invaded Iraq with?

Question

We know Iraq is an illegal war. We know he cooked the intelligence prior to invading Iraq. We know about the downing street memo. We know there were not weapons of mass destructions. We know 9/11 was an inside job.

Why would we preemptively invade Iran?

We know Iraq is an illegal war. We know Bush cooked the intelligence prior to invading Iraq. We know about the downing street memo. We know there were not weapons of mass destructions. We know 9/11 was an inside job.

Why would we preemptively invade Iran?

Answer 1

The same intelligences Bush claims he is receiving is almost identical to the Iraq intelligences. We already have two Carriers in the Sea that can hit Iran at any time.

I disagree with you on the 9/11. The only inside job was allowing Foreigners to come to our Country and take flight lessons. A red flag should have sent out signals, especially when Atta ask if there was a flight school for 727 aircraft. This should have been reported.

And I'm not sure there will be a preemptive strike?

Answer 2

The short answer: We invaded Iraq to ensure the constant and uninterrupted flow of oil from the Gulf, now and into the foreseeable future. A nuclear armed Iraq would be a much higher stakes game to accomplish the same thing. We attacked, therefore, before they could acquire nukes.

We would attack Iran under the exact same premise.

Why Bush has never just come out and say as much, concisely, I'm not sure about. That's a plenty good enough reason to me to invade. Our entire economy is oil-dependent, and so therefore so is the health of my family.

There is a much longer explanation, of course. But, in the end, oil is vitally important to all of us. Don't get between us and the oil we need, or we will attack. Pre-emptive to your acquisition of nuclear weapons, if we believe you may one day, in the future, present just such a threat to our oil supply.

We see Iran as a future threat to our oil supplies, and we would much rather confront her before she is nuclear-capable.

Answer 3

While I don't agree with some of your statements, the only reason we would invade Iran is because it is the same idiot making the decision as made it for Iraq, the same person who is making the whole world hate the US.

Answer 4

There are 3 major Ideology in the world
Capitalism/Liberalism, led by US and the rest of your "coalition of the willing"
