Do you think the Bush administration is bent on starting a war with Iran no matter what?

Answer 1

Lets review, moving 21,500 troops back into Iraq, (is this just a cover up for a larger movement of troops.) added a carrier fleet with capability's of striking Tehran. Doubling the strategic oil reserves. Hyping up the rhetoric, accusing Iran of supplying weapons to the insurgents. I think that they have something up their sleeve, and I don't think it up to any good.

Answer 2

The U.N. exists for a reason, Bush is unlikely to do anything like what he did in Iraq again and hopefully with a new administration we can begin to deal with Iran without having to resort to another war, look at what happened with North Korea.

Answer 3

The short answer is no. Americans as a whole tend to try to find the good in everyone, while at the same time, take great pride in a Puritanical self-deprication about what we do in the rest of the world. We know that true evil exists in the world, but strive to minimize and often ignore it unless it threatens us in a very real and direct way (9-11). This is true throughout history, as most forget that Hitler took power in 1933; held the Olympics in Berlin in 1936; annexed Austria and Czech in 1938; invaded Poland in 1939; defeated Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, and France in 1940; and only after the Japanese bombed us in 1941 did we care to become involved despite hundreds of thousands if not millions of deaths in concentration camps. This mentality cuts party lines, as many of the same Republicans supporting the war in Iraq were falling over each other to get out of Somalia after the Blackhawk incident. Osama Bin Ladin told a British reporter in an interview after the American pull-out from Somalia that he learned a great deal about America and our resolve as a people. 18 American soldiers were worth about 150,000 Somalis. The same can be said in Rwanda in 1994 when nearly 800,000 Tutsis were killed by the Hutus while UN "peace keepers" from Belgium stood by and watched. The most America did was for then President Bill Clinton to land Air Force 1 in Rwanda after the massacre long enough to apologize for not stepping in to help. You pick the country; Sudan, Rwanda, Somalia, Iran, North Korea, Bosnia, Liberia, etc... when will we decide as a world that we are done with genocide and crimes against humanity? Or perhaps the lesson from Iraq will be for us to return home and wait for the next tragedy to greet us at the front door. Until then, who really cares if a few hundred thousand Africans or Arabs kill each other. Despite the apparent bias in your question, it is a valid one, but it does not have as easy an answer as our sound-byte society would like to hear.

Answer 4

Yes I do. He wants to make all countries mad at us, so that they will withhold the oil from us. When that happens, then we will have to buy the oil from oil wells in Texas, which he owns. He knows that a small country like Iran and Iraq can't defend themselves from the United States, so he easily overtakes them, and thousands of our soldiers are dying over there, doing as he orders, just so that he can get their oil reserves.
History will show that Bush is one of the worse dictators on this planet. He is a dangerous man, and needs to be impeached.

Answer 5

The Bush Administration might start the war against Iran because it is supporting the insurgents in Iraq and it is not stopping its irresponsible nuclear arms build-up.

Answer 6

No. It will happen weather he wants it or not. Maybe during the next administration. You have to recall, we FEED ourselves with oil. We have to keep order in that area. You see that Iran and Syria are helping the insurgents as much as they please. What if they started making nukes? Jeez! One thing, you can expect a national draft if something bad happens that forces our hand. I'll just bet that puts a HALT to illegal immigration if they think we might throw them into an English class and hand them a rifle!

Answer 7

No. I believe the Bush administration is endeavoring to protect the United States of America and it's allies. I also believe that the rhetoric coming from the president of Iran shows a clear danger. The nature of that danger is not understood by me, but it is clearly present.
With whom do you trust nuclear technology and weapons?

Answer 8

Well, considering we have it surrounded by way of Iraq and Afghanistan, it would seem that way.

Answer 9

No. I think the liberal media is scaring them away from doing what's right. If nothing is done, Iran will eventually bomb us and Israel.

Answer 10

no
