What will it take for America to see Iran for the threat it is?

Question

Iran is not a third world country.

Answer 1

Sad to say, it might just take another boming on our soil. The left doesn't seem to think it can happen, the right expect the Government to focus on our borders and prevent it, but Government is only as focused as the right and the left can agree on anything.
The little boy bomb wiped out an entire japanese city and it wasn't all that big...it could fit on a pallet.
A dirty bomb isn't meant to blow things up, its meant to spread radioactive dust into the are, now i'm not going into too much detail, but the worse types of radiation from this would be alpha and beta, which tend to create more destruction (ion pairs) per cell. Meaning, it would hardly make it though your skin if it landed on you...but if it got in your eye ? or breathed into your lungs or got into an open wound ?...it would cause much damage. That is the horror of it. How many people would think anything of a dust cloud in the city ? how many would breath it in before any kind of containment could be set up ? How would you contain a cloud in the first place ? What about every building's AC and ventilation system that would be sucking it in and spreading it to every office ?
And these things are only the size of a suitcases. Anti-Terrorism needs to be a proactive ideology with us because it is too simple to get a suitcase into America.

Answer 2

This idea of Iran being a threat to the U.S. is a misconception. Iran is not a threat to us, but is a threat to our "good" ally in the Middle East, Israel. Iran does not have the capabilities to send missiles to the United States and won't have those capabilities for a very very long time. Even North Korea can't get a missile to us yet and it's a lot closer. The only country really threatened by Iran is Israel and the U.S. likes Israel. We're not exactly well liked in that area of the world and we want to keep our allies safe.

Answer 3

Either get rid of bush or give him eyes for he is blind. Look how his buddy in Pakistan is acting. Pakistan is not an ally. they just want the money. If Musharraf was cracking down on AL Querida then why are they knowingly only 90 miles outside of Islamabad?

Answer 4

For a Liberal loon or Dummy Democrat it will take a nuclear weapon going off in the US before they take the threat seriously. Of course by then it will be too late. Liberals and Democrats believe they can talk and talk and talk and somehow that will make rouge regimes want to behave like rational nations. They live in a fantasy world.

Answer 5

Did you know that people believe we want to conquer the East? They see US as the threat.

Answer 6

Maybe if Iran committed an overt act of war, like invading American soil and taking Americans hostage for 444 days...

...oh, right, they already did that, 28 years ago.

Answer 7

Threat to who, and how? Being scared of third war country with a basic navy and air force at best is sad and delusional.

Answer 8

Judging from some of the lib statements on here, it'll take a few nukes lobbed at us before they will finally admit we need to do something.

Of course, they'll blame Bush for setting it up.

Answer 9

They need only to read the Koran.

Islamic barbarism crosses all limits of human dignity and sanctity of a human life.
Punishments that have been prescribed by the law of 'SHARIA', the islamic law book stands in direct conflict with the international human rights for convicts.Such punishments like sawing off of ones throat, and chopping off of ones hands or arms is commonplace.Even stoning of people charged with adultry is legal and recommended.  No human rights group ever raises voice against such Barbarism.Why?Because they too have come to 
believe in such a false peace
