Why do people keep fostering the lies that Iran isn't a real threat?

Question

When those lies have been proven otherwise:

Liberals, I hope you appreciate the diversity in my sources.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Answer 1

Great question. My answer:

For the same reason that:

Germany was not a threat in the late 30's.
Japan was not a threat in the late 30's/early 40's.
Communist China was not a threat during the Korean Conflict
Soviet Russia and N Veitnam were not a threat to freedom in the late 50's, 60's early 70's
Soviet Russia was never a threat to the US
Terrorism doesnt exist
9/11 was an "inside job"
etc etc.

Of course Im being sarcastic. Liberals have a pattern over the decades of believeing that threats against the US do not exist. Iran is a very real threat to everyone.

Answer 2

hi, (ANS) the element i could make first right that's to declare that successive US governments have all pursued outrageous distant places policies in numerous conflicts around the globe over the final decade. Its no longer only Mr.Bush, in spite of the undeniable fact that president timber habit has been in step with probability the main gung ho, the main strident and the main macho. optimal to human beings around the globe hating united statesa. even extra advantageous than earlier. No.2 united statesa. likes to arrogantly behave as though it became the worlds police guy, sorry! to declare this yet no one ever asked united statesa. to act this form. No.3 returned no longer all people in different worldwide places surely needs the kind of so referred to as democracy or capitalism that exists interior of united statesa.. If thats the yank dream you may save it, its extra like your worst nightmare frankly. No.4 united statesa. are completely hypocrites!!, whilst the U. S. savour the wealth that comes from being the worldwide best weapons manufacturers and best palms industries. Its ok!! for the U. S. to have WMD and nuclear stockpiles yet why hastily its no longer ok for muslim or Arab states to truly have a similar WMD's and so on. that's what I advise by using being hypocrites!! **ask your self "who" dropped the 1st atomic bombs interior the 1st place?? it wasn't Muslims and it wasn't Arabs became it?? confident! it became the human beings. **the U. S. fears the political potential of Iran precisely by way of fact it does not count upon the united statesa. for its palms or Nuclear weapons or nuclear potential plant life. i.e. the U. S. can not sell them something? **the U. S. fears that Iran could exchange into so efficient interior the middle east as to learn extra advantageous administration over the Oil fields and as a consequence administration the circulate of oil something of the worldwide. i think of its this that united statesa. fears the main. Having Muslim extremists like Mr. Amadinajad only makes the U. S. much extra apprehensive & paranoid, much extra worried and specific to press the set off finger on the button. yet another time and reason much extra conflicts! form Regards Ivan

Answer 3

Bonzai: terrorism is a direct result of a violation of rights.
Scubadog: iran is a real threat to everyone...? not Russia

Allow me to explain, the golden rule (do unto others as you would have done unto you) exists for a reason. that reason being what goes around comes around.
Are you for or against taking the lives of others, because there is no grey area on this question.
Some would rather be killed than kill. they, and they alone, can criticize murderers of any kind.
The rest of the world, well who are they to condemn violence/intimidation/threats? They should recognize the gestures. Don't you think??
So what goes around comes around!

Answer 4

No surprise that the libs run to the defense of a terrorist dictator who tramples on the same "Civil Liberties" that they all claim everyone deserves and they fight for it.
I especially like this line from the first article.

Ahmadinejad told an audience of 3,000 students that there was "no doubt the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot from the face of the Islamic world."

Awe... he is such a peaceful guy as the moronic students who cheered him on at Columbia University ate up his lies.

Strattz... how about learning simple grammar and spelling before calling others names. "Payed"???? Is that the same as "Paid"?

And good grief... what a run on sentence here...

"I tell you what if you have a way to pay for the Iraq war and you can pre-pay for the Iran war, go for it......but you can only take kids from red states to fight in your war........Imbecile!!"

I typically don't rail on the little typo's but when you are calling names... you should check yourself.

A little education in politics will help you appear to be somewhat educated.

Answer 5

it's all about "today" & 1 mill yrs from "today" for people w/that frame of mind. no yesterday, no tomorrow, or even next week/next year...
.
so many people are cottled in ways they'll never realize (or, maybe, acknowledge?) that they form this 'logic' that things "just, somehow, work out"...
.
heh, that reminds me of the commercial with the people in the mountain lift cable skycar thing (whatever) way up high when something goes awry & they panic... this one guy steps up, confidently, and says, "dont worry, i took a class in positive thinking" - meanwhile another guy finds the 'on' switch - when they start moving again, mr. 'positive thinker' is the hero.
.
(if you thought my explanation of that tv ad was bad - wait till you hear me tell a joke... pew!)

Answer 6

Here is the short list:

Deception, Fear, Naivety and just plain Ignorance.

The cowards can only keep their heads in the sand for so long...

I don't advocate another war, Iran will be dealt with in a manner different than Iraq anyway...

Answer 7

AMEN
Their capacity to and their history of is very evident. I shall take the time to review and copy your links. I have one about WMD that was included in a recent violation? From 2003 I was appalled to see how many nuklear :) facilities they have. The Saudi's "let's generate uranium in Switzerland" I read last week.
God Bless YOU!
edit: I still am curious to see what the Grand Ayatollah does and now some top military brass being looked at for terrorist acts in other countries beyond... then what the President will try? Over throw? Or can he be "simply removed".

Answer 8

Only a looney wacko would say that Iran is not a threat. And thank-you for asking this question.
I Cr 13;8a

Answer 9

Real threat isn't the question. Imminent threat is. There's no doubt anywhere that Iran needs to be dealt with, we just don't think we should be pissing on another beehive like last time. There isn't yet a solid reason to invade- so work the diplomacy until then.

And you're right, that is nice diversity.

Answer 10

yes, I really do appreciate the diversity (and quality of some) of your sources

In fact your sources answered your own question -
"It's obvious that people Do see Iran as a real threat"
your many sources Prove that !

well done sir !
keep up that kind of good work and I will no longer consider you a troll.
------------------
so.. Iran is a very real threat, but that doesn't mean I want that dumb-a*s bush doing anything about it !
God help us if bush tries to fix anymore of our problems !
