Is Senator Lieberman right? Should we bomb Iran?

Question

Of course, that would be their nuclear facilities.

Answer 1

Sure! We could market it as "Bombs for Peace!" And then Iran could retaliate, and Canada would bomb Isreal and Isreal could bomb Jordan and Jordan could bomb Russia and Russia could bomb China and China would bomb England and England would bomb Iraq and Iraq would bomb Darfur and Darfur would bomb Egypt and Egypt would bomb India and India could bomb South Africa and South Africa could bomb Malaysia and on and on and on until every country has bombed every other country at least once! Then, when all the goddamn bombs have finally been exploded, we will finally live in peace and harmony because there will be no one left alive. Sounds like a great plan, Lieberman! I'm surprised George W. Bush hasn't thought of it (or maybe he has!). -RKO- 06/17/07

Answer 2

No one is going to bomb the US but if anyone Russia

You guys are insane, the US has 500 ICBMs that are available at the earliest command of the president- if Iran tried to nuke/bomb us they'd have so many nuclear missiles flying above them that Israel would look good to them

lol @ this question

Answer 3

Senator Lieberman is a cementhead. Someone should bomb him.

Answer 4

The Iranian nuclear facilities are buried deep under ground. They are also scattered across multiple sites. Bombing would accomplish nothing, since the majority of their nuclear facilities would not only survive these attacks, but continue on to completion.

Further, bombing Iran would only further serve to prove our hostility toward them and our unwillingness to recognize them as a world power. Following any bombing - by us or Israel - that power would then be turned against us.

Here's a question for you: what if you went to the grocery store and discovered there was no food on the shelves ?

Consider the following: the price of oil would double or triple following the bombing of Iran. The things you buy on a daily basis would be eventually priced out of reach. No one could afford to drive to work, as gasoline could go beyond five or six dollars a gallon - more than double what it is today.

Suicide bombers, sympathetic to Iran, could walk into major shopping malls across America and sacrifice themselves, along with hundreds of Americans. Who would have the courage to shop in a mall after that ? How many hundreds of thousands of Americans would be thrown out of work as a result ? How could the government pay unemployment benefits to countless of millions out of work ?

These same suicide bombers could also attack grocery stores and other retail outlets. They could blow up bridges, railroads, harbors and places of business. The nation would be in chaos. You would be confronted by a depression - not a recession.

If your neighbors are starving and knock on your door, will you answer ? Do you have good locks on the doors ? Do you have enough plywood to cover the windows ? Where will you go when your food runs out ?

Are you good at hunting with a bow and arrow ?

Answer 5

haha sure, we always need another wasteful multi-billion dollar war on a nation who doesn't agree with us on many things. if that were to happen, that would only embolden the enemy (the radical islamist terrorists) and they're willing to fight the U.S. until we spend every dime on fighting. to target nuclear facilities would pose a threat to every living thing there and the place would be uninhabitable for decades. we have already been fighting iran, but by proxy. they fund hezbollah, we fund israel. why bomb iran? why not do something about the situation is darfur or that crazy little man kim jong-il in north korea? there are so many other things we can do to help other nations but we choose to spread "democracy". if we have money to kill people, we have money to help

Answer 6

Last Sunday on "Face the Nation" on CBS, Senator Lieberman told Bob Schieffer, "I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq. And to me, that would include a strike into... over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers."

Answer 7

Lieberman is a complete turn coat, he is like a Pit Bull he'll turn on you . In fact his face resembles and old mad Pit Bull.
He is a complete idiot I wouldn't take his word about anything.
He is has been and the next election has been his last.

Answer 8

We would not do anything like that w/o a huge provocation. We have to wait and see what happens. We do not want WW III but we must protect ourselves and our friends/allies. Iran is a big threat to peace and stability in the region. Peace

Answer 9

I believe the question should be was he right to say it out loud being a member of the U.S. congress with the situation being as tense as it is.Al;l options are on the table according to the Oval office ,If he is right he should have kept his yap shut, my opinion.

Answer 10

No, we should let Israel do it. They have already trained for the mission, but we asked them to hold off. If it happens it will be either just before they have a nuke, or as Bush leaves office.
