Why can't world leaders see that it's time to stand up to Iran?

Question

each time they get away with a crime they will just get bolder and the war is coming anyway. At minimum the British should put in place a navel blockade.

Answer 1

Why is it now taking people to realize that Iran is a threat when people's lives are at stake from being captured? Ahmadinejad has been wanting to create nuclear warheads for the use against Israel and America. He constantly says publicly about destroying America and the Jewish Nation of Israel to cleanse the world. And now, that there are British soldiers being held captive, people are finally seeing Iran as a enemy nation, well, not so much enemy nation but led by the enemy. Most of Iran hates the current President, but what can they do? It is like Iraq with Saddam, anyone stands up to him they end up dead in horrible ways one could not imagine. I say show Ahmadinejad what happens when he steps over the line and take out half a major city in Iran and tell him if he dares step out of line again he will be missing half his damn country!!! God, no one wants to fight a war as it is supposed to be! They want to try and talk sense to these madmen! They want to try and be friendly and pretend that these Islamic Fascists do not want to behead them but instead wants to befriend them!! It is insane anymore!! What has Britain done since their men have been captured? Nothing, all they have done is say how horrible it is and demanding their men and vessels back! Britain has the firepower to bring Iran down themselves, but no, why do such a horrible act like that? Iran is wanting to hold those soldiers on "trial" so anyone who understands the enemy nation of Iran they are doomed and everyone is sitting back watching it and not fighting back!

Answer 2

that is because Iraq does no longer, nor have they ever had a nuke. North Korea made it properly conscious that they were generating nukes. Do you imagine the US could have easily invaded Iraq in the adventure that they heavily concept they'd an complete nuclear weapon that became able to surprising. Heck No! North Korea brags about having them, and presented very last week they'll use them antagonistic to all of us who assaults them. that is their suitable i wager, see you later as they purely use it for conceal that is! some thing could were executed about North Korea earlier to now, yet now that is too overdue, and Japan needs to invade them.keep in mind even with the reality that that the US has a nuclear protection missle gadget, so so you might sense extraordinarily secure. yet even with the reality that pondering what the ozone is made from, in case you detonate a nuclear warfare head intense sufficient interior the ambience, it can mild the total ecosystem on hearth and cover the globe which may equivalent armageddon extraordinarily a lot. It ain't no comic tale anymore, yet we won't be able to easily attack(extraordinarily on account that their isn't any funds to be produced from a warfare with Iran or North korea)this can could be executed by technique of the respect gadget.

"The old game has expanded Iran's influence in the region, allowed Al Qaeda to build more cadres and reduced Israel's security. It's time to reshape the game. That means salvaging our strategy, not toying with tactics."

"real progress must be made on the Palestinian issue as a foundation for Middle East peace. The invasion of Iraq and the U.S. tilt toward Israel have dangerously reduced Washington's power to broker peace or to guarantee Israel's security. We now need Europe's help. And good relations with Iran would help dramatically.

No strategy can succeed without these components. We must cut and run tactically in order to succeed strategically. The United States needs to restore its reputation so that its capacity to lead constructively will cost us less."

"If 132,000 U.S. troops cannot pacify 26 million Iraqis in more than three years, how can 153,500 do the job in a few months? If more than $18 billion in reconstruction aid has failed to fix the situation in Iraq but let it get worse, why would a few more billion finally fix it this year? If the Iraqi government has failed to meet its past markers of progress, why will it succeed in meeting new ones?

Is there really an "Iraqi government" - or is it merely a collection of would-be politicians beholden to warring factions? Why has it not dawned on the President that the Iranians, Al Qaeda and Iraqi clerics are dealing the cards here? "

Answer 4

A naval blockade of the Persian Gulf? Hello, $5.00 gas.

Answer 5

Governments are scared of Arab Nations. The UN put Israel in place, the Arab world got mad and started a war (and got their butts handed to them). Israel has had to deal with bombs, shootings, riots, and all that because they had the guts to stand up.

Europe is too scared because they expect the same to happen to them if they try.

Answer 6

Has anybody ever considered that Iran (perhaps, only perhaps) only want nuclear power, and not nuclear weapons?
As they have said over and over?
And we are being duped into another bloody confrontation again?
Stranger things have happened. WMDs for example.

'navel blockade'? They should 'blockade' their belly buttons?

Answer 7

were you there? Why dont you go read about the Gulf of Tonkin before you form an opinion. I side with Iran!! They are getting pushed for an excuse to blow them up.

Answer 8

You'd think they would take serious the fact that IF radical Islam took over the world they'd be forced to submit or die.

Answer 9
