No, for it will exacerbate problems, not ameliorate them

Prior to the fact: no - Army too small/not properly configured, too mountainous for air strikes to win the war alone like in the first Gulf War, lack of world support. Due to the above, a quick victory would be unlikely and half measures would just get them mad.
After the fact: yes - once Congress allows a war like in Iraq, then it is my duty to support it (at least publically).

What would be the reason for a military strike on Iran? Do you think it is reasonable to attack a country that is increasing it's power generation by building nuclear power stations? Is it reasonable to attack a country that is building up it's defenses with arms and possible nuclear weapons, for fear of being attacked? Is it reasonable to attack a country because terrorists may reside there? There are a number of countries world wide, including the US, that fit these descriptions, not just Iran. You have been listening to the rhetoric of your politicians and believing the mis-information they have been feeding you if you believe there is a need to go to war with Iran. Their only real crimes are to have a wealth of oil and have a dislike for US foreign policy as dictated by the giant oil companies. Iran is only a threat to the supply of oil coming out of Iran. Iran knows the oil won't last forever, thats why they are investing now, in nuclear power. No other nation has the right to dictate how it gets sold and who it gets sold to. If the US wants more energy, then use wind, solar or geo-thermal power to produce hydrogen. It is cleaner, greener and stops US soldiers being killed in foreign wars for oil.

No. The military is already spread too thin. There is no legitimate reason to attack Iran.

No because more American troops and people will die. Iran is just too powerful and would retaliate in the most unimaginable way possible.

Iran is supplying weapons to Iraqi terrorists, that alone makes me want to have them glassed, but I do think it would complicate matters even more. So today, no, but in the near future if Ahmadinejad continues to be uncooperative then I would support military action against Iran.

No. I tell you only economic war will work. Lower the price of gasoline and disable their industries cus they subsidize it all with natural gas.
Plus if we attack who can say they wont roll down into Basra or attack Kabul?

Depends on who strikes! I wouldn't support a strike by US or Israel, but how about Saudis? or a coalition of moderate muslim contries? May be that is not a bad idea.
