should the US attack IRAN....?

Question

as so far US has lost over 3100 killed in IRAQ and has had over 24,000 wounded as reported on bbc news today.. will it make the area a better place or make things worse and kill alot more soldiers....
can we not find a better way to solve this...

Answer 1

Military force isn't the answer to what is essentially a religious and philosophical dispute. Even the military admits that.

Attacking Iran will just cost hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of American lives, and hundreds of thousands of Iranian lives.

Until Iran as a country actually attacks the US directly, there are no valid grounds for the US to premptively attack Iran -- other than pure political hatred.

Answer 2

What kind of a world are we living in when asking such a question actually has some validity ( no criticism intended of asker, it's a horribly valid question ) ?

We already had a 'pre-emptive' strike against a sovereign nation, starting of with a classic war-crime, the ingenious 'Shock and Awe' bombardment of the entire, almost entirely innocent civilian population of Baghdad.

Let me invite all of you reading this ask yourselves a simple little question about that alone. Had any leader of any nation or group carried out such an attack on the US or it's allies, would anyone have any doubt that the USA and it's lackeys would have such a person or persons up in the dock in a War Crime tribunal at double speed ? ( remember that we are talking about a carpet-bombing and thousands of tonnes of high-explosive ordnance, nothing whatsoever like the 911 events, in case anyone tries to draw a comparison )

And now.......4 years and over 3,000 US military ;lives sacrificed, and well over 100,000 Iranian casualties, mostly civilian, a situation spiralling out of control, are they really even considering repeating this ghastly formula in Iran ?

Once again, the spurious justification for these attacks is that at some unknown ( if ever ) in the future these nations may develop nuclear or other critical weapons systems.

Nuclear weapons have been around for 60 odd years now, at some points hundreds of thousands of them.

So far only one nation has used them in anger.

The United States of America.

Answer 3

No they have more than enough oil of their own and this is what all this invasion nonsense is all about.
It has nothing at all to do with electricity generated by nuclear power no more than the invasion of Iraq had to do with the destruction of the twin towers.
The occupation of Iraq by foreign troops will only continue to aggravate the situation.
There is only one organisation who can resolve the conflict and that is the U N and the sooner the warmongers in Washington and London realise this the better.

Answer 4

Just if the US want to bury themselfs in Persia. Iran is 3 times larger than iraq and more populated. The Islamic clergy is stronger than in iraq so they've more fanatics. The russians and chinese will supply the iranians with weapons . Such war could be so costly and long that surely would bring decadence to US.

Answer 5

Okay.....

This could easily become a crisis if you catch my drift....

Iran claims its nuclear program is peaceful, I doubt is as do many. If they did use nuclear weapons on people would you wish to have gone back in time and stopped them?
Lets say you could have a chance to stop the holocaust, would you do it.

If it is for peaceful purposes and the us DOES invade that would cause international outcry. It is a tough choice to make. I would invade Iran but i would want proper information. I also think Iran is helping the Shiite militants and if we want to make the middle east stabler then we should clear up Iran and give them the choice of democracy or oppresive theology at the hands of their dear clerics. I think if it was peaceful many nations would be out for U.S blood which would be bad. i think it would start WW3 and this time on U.S soil. Iran needs to be disarmed. Iran needs to be stopped. If you could go back in time and stop the holocaust would you? Act now, or never act and watch your world burn.

Also i do not approve of Iraq invasion however i do approve of an Iran invasion because if they are building nukes it is your job as HUMAN BEINGS to do something. This has nothing to do with religion it has everything to do with preventing Global catastrophe.
Do you want the blood of millions on your hands and know that you could have stopped this?
That is why i approve of invasion of Iran.

Answer 6

No once again it's the American people and no doubt the British who suffer the loss of lives through taking this course of action to me enough is enough .Shouldn't the question be what is the United Nations doing about this after all they are the so called holders of International law I think serious questions need to be asked of what exactly is the role of the UN in todays society,and do they need more powers to deal with such threats :)

Answer 7

Yes, if we had a President that wasn't sitting there with a 91Q, can't read or write want talk to Iran, is afraid not stubborn , afraid that they will make him look like the dummy he is , a total embarrassment to this country. He want talk because he can't speak the English version of how to compromise with another country. He'd rather send our troops that we have none, to fight a country that will fight back. The terrorists will come into Iran to fight our troops along with other countries . Russia alone will be enough to take us out if we strike Iran along with Syria and all the other countries that he has made hate America with his ignorance.

Answer 8

No. there should be no war, and everybody knows it.
You kill people and expect that this is not coming back to the US in a few years...
Now they don't have the strength, but what's in 20 years when they will still hate us?
What's then?
More terror attacks all over the US...that's the only thing that's gonna come out of this war...that's the only thing those people are dying for...nothing else then more hate in this world!!
(my opinion)

Answer 9

sure not.
ppl here are talking as if invading Iran will wipe of all of their problems.just like they were fooled by hearing that invading Iraq would strengthen the situation in Afghanistan.... & did that happen?!
regardless of that i dont think that the US (just coz they are the only super power in the world) should go around bomb countries over politicl arguments just bcoz they can.it sucks!

Answer 10

the US should attack Iran and i think the chances are high of that taking place...either Iran will follow north Korea or be hit by our next president Hillary Clinton.
many of u might not want to believe that Hillary would wanna attack Iran but we are talking regional hegemony here....and with middle east secure US would have the complete global hegemony with weak spots only in Africa. so Iran has to fall either way or about 60 years worth of american policies go to waste.
