Why are LIBERALS scared about a possible war with IRAN?

Question

LIBS – I know you are excited to protest against America yet again but hold your FVCKING horses! We haven’t even invaded yet. We have fired no missles nor killed any Iranian terrorists.

So put away your “Surrender”, “Let’s Cut & Run” & “It’s the Evil USA’s fault” signs and calm down

Pop in a copy of Brokeback Mountain and light up some weed. Slip off your Birkenstocks and dive into some trail mix or your favorite soy based dairy product. Cindy and Michael will let you know when it is time to blame America and take to the streets.

Answer 1

Why aren't neo-cons concerned about the consequences of a war with Iran? Oh yea, they won't have to fight it. Ok, now it makes sense.

5 deferment Cheney will rally the troops to sacrifice their lives to stave off the impending invasion from Iran.

Hopefully the following will answer this question even better.

Answer 2

Well, let's start with the current Pentagon analysis that says the US military is drastically over-extended just based on our current deployment in Iraq and other ongoing concerns. And that we cannot even maintain current troops levels in Iraq for another six months, let alone six years.

Even considering opening up another major front -- which would require a huge expenditure of money and troops and resources we simply don't have -- that's foolish, purely from a logistical standpoint.

Now, consider that our sole reason for attacking Iran is that we don't like what they are doing inside their own country. They have not launched any attacks against the US. They have not launched any attacks against US allies. So, our attack would be another unilateral assault, against a country that has not attacked us, just because we don't like them.

You say people should not be protesting now -- when do you suggest? After the US has announced an offensive against Iran? Because not only will that be too late for our troops, but it will likely just provoke the same kind of bashing that any opposition to the Iraq occupation has garnered.

So, it seems that it's unacceptable for people to protest to prevent an invasion -- and unacceptable for people to protest after the invasion.

When exactly is any other opposing voice allowed to be heard then? Or have we simply decided that it is acceptable to silence the opposition any time you don'y agree with them?

So why are not you over there scuffling with? decrease & run? conflict on terror? Have some greater kool help. the only reason my teenagers are going to ought to combat is merely by the fact dolts in Washington are going to commence the draft. How do you win a conflict against a tactic, besides? Terrorism is often the made of an profession. Iraq had no longer something to do with 9-11, nor have been they conceivable to us in any way, shape or variety. Iran has on no account attacked yet another united states first. Ever. Sorry, yet i'm far greater petrified of the socialists than i'm 40 3 adult males who stay in a cave midway around the globe. you think of they are able to beat China and / or Russia on their way right here?

Answer 4

Your off-the-wall comments don't help matters any.

The fact is, we have a couple of pretty good examples of what has got us frightened. The first is nominally fiction, a movie called "The Sum of All Fears," made in 2002, and based on a book by Tom Clancy. In it, some "missing" plutonium winds up in the hands of fanatics who build a bomb with it. Then see the movie "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," a documentary made in 2006. Watch the brainwashing of little Muslim children and the explanation of the similarities with Nazi training by an old man who was in the Hitler Youth program. The film clips of the Mullah of Jerusalem visiting with Adolph Hitler. And the realization that yes, indeed, it could happen.

Fundamentalist Christians believe it: in the movie "Jesus Camp," also a documentary, a pretty little girl explains about missionaries jumping up and down shouting "Martyr! Martyr! Martyr!" and comments that "it's cool." The kids dress up in camo face paint and dance around, preparing themselves to die for Jesus.

And you're NOT scared???

Answer 5

The U.S. economy is bad already and They don’t want people to die and for governments to destroy the World. If Iran keeps up their attitude towards Israel. It is only a matter of time before we, the U.S. (the World’s referee) get involved and protect our ally, Israel. See, Congress wont have to approve the war, it only takes Iran’s taunting of bombing regional U.S. bases for President George Bush’s Directive 51 to kick in. Then all hell breaks loose. Not to mention, Russia, is rapidly growing military-wise. They have weapon contracts with Vietnam, China, India and Iran. Everything from Military Jets to Nuclear weapons. Just remember, China and Russia were having War games not to long ago, and China just recently was caught red-handed hacking the Pentagon. Russia and Iran are allies and bottom-line, no one wants War!!!

Answer 6

I dont think scared is the rite word. When wars happen people die.American and iranian and thats almost always a bad thing.And think of all the allies you would drag into the war especially with them all so overstretched already. And as for liberals loving iran they behead people for blasphemy ban certain haircuts music clothes ect and restrict information. I dont know what that is but it isnt liberal.

Answer 7

Why are cons frothing at the mouth in favor of every war that Bush decides to fight? Do you really enjoy creating suffering for a population of people that had nothing to do with 9/11 or with people that don't even have nukes according to our own intelligence agencies and those abroad? I really want to know why you fall for every lie this Bush administration hands out to you.
Our military is vastly overextended already. Does that mean nothing to you? Do you not listen to the people who advise Bush not to do this because we A). can't afford it and B). don't have the means or manpower to do it. Do you spend money you don't have in the billions too?
What makes you think this is simply a liberal versus conservative issue? All the remaining rational and reasoning conservatives I know are disgusted with Bush and the Republican party and they don't want a war with Iran either. They don't even believe in this war with Iraq.

Answer 8

An even better question might be "why isn't EVERYONE - both Liberal and Conservative scared about going to war with Iran?" Anyone who loves this country has to be concerned about the path we are taking. Our military is stretched to the limit ( even our generals have testified to this), our economy is suffering, and more and more young people are dying in Iraq every day. I hope the idea of committing our resources - human and financial to another confrontation scares the hell out of everyone.

Answer 9

Oh, you'd be surprised. Most people who support the Iraq War generally seem opposed to the idea of liberating all the other oppressed countries of the world, most particularly Iran. Probably because they assume every future war will be just like the Iraq Occupation.

Answer 10

I agree, the situation in Iran is serious.

Too bad the Bush adminstration used up all it's credibility already. If they had used better judgement in Iraq, the American people might pay more attention to the valid points about Iran.

Answer 11

Let's see, why are we... Millions killed, thousands of troops killed, the military, already badly overstretched, having to fight a real enemy.

Iran is trouble. We know it, you know it and even the French know it. If you aren't concerned about a war with Iran, you just aren't thinking straight. If you really want it, leave that family in your picture and join. Then you can talk. And if you join and serve (unlike Bush and Cheney) come home safe. Then you can rant about war.
