I definitely will oppose. Don't our government pumped enough Iraqi oil? Why do we have to kill people for oil? If Bush and cronies want oil to accumulate their own wealth why don't they themselves along with their family members go and fight in Iraq, Iran, etc.

I oppose for the following reasons:
A: It would be counterproductive, and make us less safe. Iran would unleash hezballah, and terror attacks would increase. And unlike the amatuer terrorists failing to construct effective car bombs in London, Hezballah are trained by the Syrian and Iranian militaries and are battle tested against the Israelis, the nation with the most effective counterterror program in the world.
B: Oil prices would skyrocket. Even if we keep the Persian Gulf open to tanker traffic, the market will likely still panic, causing oil to go well over 100 dollars a barrel.
C. Iran is slowly moving towards a more open society. The mullahs and hardliners are slowly losing power. A strike will just unite the country against us, strengthening the clerics power base and setting back true democracy by 20 years, just like Bay of Pigs did for Castro.
D. If Iraq really is starting to come under control, a strike aginst Iran would ruin that. Shiite sympathizers in the south would attack our troops supply lines. You'd at least double the number of troops killed per month.
E. We were wrong about Iraq WMD, maybe we're wrong about this too. Can you really trust this administration on this?

Oppose. Supporting it would be stupid patriotism or over-patriotic. No one that is a good patriot or not would even consider more bloodshed for another country that we have no business in plus what would be the end result? What would we want to accomplish? Is it the ruler again, and make it another Iraq situation? Or is it just to teach them a lesson about nuclear power plants? Either way it would be a disaster. If Iran did have nuclear weapons don't you think they would use it after last hope? So if its for the "weapons of mass destruction" then both countries would loss many many people in their home country. If its for the ruler then we'll have troops in two countries for over 10 years. So I oppose.

Support it in all earnest, and with utmost seriousness. What we're in now is nothing in comparision to importance to stop Iran from trying to harvest manmade sunlight!
Hopefully it would never come to that, and all will be well, but we're dealing with a leader who questions if the Holocaust ever took place and that it was just written into history by the Jews as propoganda. So, uh....YES!
UPDATE:
thinkwhileutype - you need to practice what your handle suggests. I am a Bush supporter, a Republican and I am in Iraq fighting, so shut your cakehole....jackass!

Oppose until Iran makes the first move, which I doubt it will. Most of the time that the U.S. turns into an offensive nation, it loses. Look at Vietnam and Iraq. We won the other wars mainly because we were attacked FIRST.

Support. Iran declared war on us in 1979 when they took hostages. We just have not bothered to acknowledge that yet.

Absolutely support it. Iran is a terroristic state that is striving to gain nuclear weapons. They need to be destroyed before this can happen, for the safety of the President and the country.
