Should the FBI arrest Iran's leader if and when he visits the United States?

Question

Arrest him for what? Are you idiots?

Read his early political career.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad

How about funding terrorists.

After his election he proclaimed, "Thanks to the blood of the martyrs, a new Islamic revolution has arisen and the Islamic revolution of 1384 [the current Iranian year] will, if God wills, cut off the roots of injustice in the world." He said, that "the wave of the Islamic revolution" would soon "reach the entire world."[

Answer 1

I suggest you reading the first two paragraphs for a very short history of Iran.

By the way, look into the Iran-Iraq war to see how many Iranians were lost, 1980-1988. About 800,000-1,000,000 Iranians lost their lives defending their nation, while the US, much of the Western Powers, Russia, and China backed Iraqi dictator Saddam. The US even defeated part of the Iranian navy in that war. All these countries backed Saddam by giving him weapons and even some chemical agents to create chemical weapons. Saddam killed at least 100,000 Iranians with those chemical weapons. Imagine this happening to the US population and miltiary, what the US's reaction be. In all fairness Iran has every RIGHT to be angry and disgusted with the US, in my opinion.

Although this was at a time when the Hostage Crisis of Iran occurred, and about 50 US civilians were held for 444 days. Iran also called the US the Great Satan and threatened to march their EXTREMIST forces across the Middle East, even threatening Israel.

No, by the way, there is nothing to arrest him for!

What the Hell would the US accomplish by doing that? A war with Iran, a harder time in Iraq, oil facilities to be hit, more acts of terrorism inside the US maybe this time by Hezbollah who declared they will strike within the US if the US provokes or attacks Iran. We would be in a Hell of a lot of trouble with other countries diplomatically and possibly even militarily and unless the US wants to have the apocalypse occur they will give into other nations demands and it will be most if not all the countries in the world demanding his release. I probably won't get best answer, but that type of action could get us into a LOAD of TROUBLE! Probably one of the worst actions the US could take at this time.

Also, it could UNITE ALL IRANIANS UNDER THE GOVERNMENT! Why do that at a time when most Iranian's especially among the youth are highly critical of their government and while the economy of Iran isn't all that great.

It could also be used as a propaganda tool by Islamic extremists in a very big way!

Answer 2

Morally he should be eliminated.... and personally I can think of many ways to do so that are graphic, guesome & well deserved. However, from a political perspective doing so would be a bad decision because eliminating government officials who come here to talk is likely to influence other undesirable government officials to avoid coming here to talk. And it's much more effective to get in someone's face when telling them you're gonna kill them than sending a letter with the same information. Of course sending the Marines in to deliver the message is quite effective too... but does cost more than a diplomatic visit.

Answer 3

Arrest him for what?

That would be an act of war, and diplomats (as if Ahmedinejad could qualify) usually have immunity from prosecution.

Besides, if we were to go to war, would it not simply be better if we invade using troops? In a matter of hours, we sieze personnel and assets and cripple Iran's ability to strike back using terror.

Answer 4

i would not inevitably call it the tip, yet i could call it the line to the suitable destruction of our Union. Barack Hussein Obama's administration and strategies, whilst probable meant with good intentions, are thoroughly the choice of what our Union exchange into based upon and are risky to the soundness and well-being of it. Americanism is Republicanism. Obama holds values that are greater identifiable to Socialism and Fascism, as do many different Democrats - Republicans, too, particularly "Neo-Conservatives," or "neocons" for short. in case you already know your historic past, you will see that societies like Rome had comparable fates - thriving Republics starting to be risky (Socialist) Democracies ruled via potential of "mob rule" or the choose of the folk, and finally starting to be dictatorships, anarchy, or another comparable destiny. a variety of ecu Socialism or Fascism is what Obama has to grant, even with what Democrats will argue. This "welfare state" and the "Democratizing" of our Union is what's maximum advantageous to its destruction. even however, i could additionally argue that it is not Barack Obama who's finally in charge, however the voters of our Union for straying from the concepts which our founding fathers set earlier us. this is the fault of the voters of this Union for electing Barack Obama into place of work. this is the fault of the voters of this Union for bringing approximately ecu Socialism, for no longer understanding a factor approximately historic past, their Union, Republicanism, and for brushing off the form totally. to respond to your question, definite - we are witnessing the tip. Socialism has on no account, ever, ever worked in historic past. we are able to fall like Rome fell, and prefer how the ecu Union will fall.

Answer 5

On what charge? We don't arrest world leaders. We might go to war but the man has diplomatic immunity.

Answer 6

(I can't believe I'm saying this) For what would they arrest him for?

Personally, I think someone should shoot him in the back of the head and be done with it. Even his own people hate him and the Iranian government is trying to get him out of office early.

Answer 7

are you expecting our goverment to make up a crime he committed. he is the leader of a country that we are not at war with (yet anyway)...detaining him would be an act of war on our part...and you likely escalate into a bigger problem..If you definitely want a war, you would arrest him on some made up charge.....just because a country does not enter a diplomatic process with you, you can't start kidnapping its leaders...unless we are at war with them, it would bethe US committing a crime

Answer 8

The very Republican thing to do. Make a mess and have the next Democrat clean things up for you.

Answer 9

I vote oblivion2130's as almost best answer to a naive question...

also, It's not in their (FBI) jurisdiction.

Answer 10

That would be foolish, of course our government is full of fools. That would ignite a massive shift in the way the world views us..
