I don't think they will actually do it this time. I think the announcement this morning was something of a warning to Iran. Hopefully, that will take care of things.
Got a Rake? Sure!

They shouldn't bomb the cities or the people, but they should bomb the nuke facilities they are building. Iran is a terror sponsoring state that is currently supplying weapons that kill U.S. soldiers and they want Israel and the U.S. wiped off the planet. They must not get nukes at all costs. Iran has been trying to get the U.S. into a war since '79 and they certainly deserve an ass kicking but I don't think there will be an all out war with them unless they aren't stopped from getting nukes and they end up using them on Israel. I doubt the U.S. even has the guts to bomb the nuke facilities. Israel will most likely bomb the nuke facilities at some point if the U.S. doesn't step up. Israel doesn't really have the bombers to do it, they have fighter jets not bombers. I'm also not sure if their fighters have the range to attack them and make it back.

When I was in Washington, a briefing I attended indicated this was more or less the thinking on the Hill. Better to do whatever we have to over there (even if it means another Iraq) rather than face a state like Iran having nuclear weapons.

Regardless, fighting two hot wars (Afghanistan & Iraq) plus the nebulous "War on Terror" has limited our options on what we can do in Iran. The choice may be effectively out of our hands.

Fighting Iran instead of Iraq in the first place would have made a lot more sense. Sadam was a son of a bitch murderer who killed and oppressed his own people, but that really was the problem of the people of Iraq. Sort it out yourselves. He really wasn't a threat to the people here in the U.S. Iran is.

I agree, Saddam was a side show. These assholes in charge of our country wanted a quick will and he seemed to be easy to kick over. He was easy to kick over but they had no ralistic plan for the aftermath.

Iran can be defeated with blue jeans and other culture bombs. Most Iranians are good people who live under a shity government (like us kind of). They may dream of a better government but we should not think for a second that they would stand and fight us if attacked.

I support Israel's right to exist but I would not fight a war for them. They need to make peace with their neighbors. Their neighbors need to grow up and stop using their children as bombs.

Iran launches missiles, Israel launches missiles no more Middle East problem. Iran uses a third party to detonate a nuclear device in Israel Israel wipes Iran from the map. Unfortunately, all this saber rattling, chest thumping and rhetoric is enough of an excuse for Bush to bomb Iran before he leaves office (which, by the way, the Israeli press is convinced he'll do). And will the US be safer? Hardly. We'll just give Islamic extremists more reasons to strike at us anyway they can.

If Israel is going to strike, do they do it before Obama takes office? (So they won't piss him off needlessly.) If so, November or December could be eventful one moonless night. If McCain wins, they might wait another six months.

Because America is a responsible steward of nuclear weapons. You can rest assured that they would only use them if it was really necessary. I'm pretty sure it's in the bible. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!

More importantly: they're Jews. Do we really want JEWS to have the bomb? :shifty:

If every nation had nukes, everyone would be too scared to use them, so free access to nuclear weapons would make us all safer. That's just common sense.

Look, everyone should have nuclear weapons and receive training in their safe use. That's the only way to stop the lawlessness inherent in all people.
