POLL: Do you think USA will go to war with IRAN?!

Are you a zionist? You smell like one. Move along stupid, this issue is above your intelligence.

Yes, we will go to war with Iran, but only if Bush gets elected for another term.

Iran is a bit different than Iraq/Afghanistan.

Iran hasn't gone to war for more than 500 years, why should it do that now?

But hey let 'em Americans bring peace and democracy to Iran......just like they did in Iraq

i thought we pulled out of germany after the war ended. You mean we were there longer than 5 years?

that's my opinion too, they have shown in the past they don't hesitate too much doing it.

I hope not,

more moms without their childs, more childs without their moms.
More pain, tears and agony.

THIS COULD BE HEAVEN!

Not all of those are combat front line units chief. Take into account how many are on a single aircraft carrier. Do you think they are going to the front line? How about airplane mechanics? You think they will be marching through Tekret?



Sure. In total numbers, there are more available. However you are not considering how many are support, and administratives.

shit, not many people on this board have faith with peace.

Perhaps they are are brainwashed Zionists

I'm not at all sure you are right. Look at events of the last few years (and apart from being more overt, they are otherwise typical of US foreign policy under numerous presidents from both parties).

Before 9/11 we were already gearing up to invade Afghanistan. Within hours of 9/11 happening, we were blaming Osama Bin Laden. The Russians hadn't been able to kill or capture him when they occupied the country, but the inability of the Taliban to exile or capture him was apparently reason enough to invade a country which no-one even attempted to claim was in any shape or form a danger to us. The only extra spin we added to the emotions fostered by 9/11 was to point out that by our standards, the Taliban weren't very nice people.

Not only did we invade Afghanistan, we are still there years later despite not having found, let alone captured Bin Laden. Apart from the deaths of American troops and thousands of Afghanis, the most obvious consequence of that invasion is that the opium crop in Afghanistan has never been bigger. And we are stuck there because we displaced the only people - like them or not - who had the power to rule the country.

The American public got behind the invasion of Iraq for similarly emotional and equally spurious reasons. The cost to both sides has been even greater. And we are stuck there too, because even if there is no victory (except insofar as chaos was probably the intent from day one) if we stay, pulling out would be perceived as defeat.

So to Iran, guilty of some saber rattling: the Shia's in southern Iraq have not been totally docile and Hezbollah in Lebanon stirred up the Israelis last year. But in both instances, the activities have been considerably restrained, which strongly suggests that Iran is keeping a tight rein. And despite the occasional inflammatory rhetoric intended mainly for the folks at home, since the 1970's Iran has been quietly but consistently building political and economic ties with Europe. Finally there is their nuclear program, but as with Iraq, the reports which the US public generally do not hear about, are nowhere near as clear as - often even contradictory of - the stories coming out of the White House.

In other words, the US public is being set up once more to support a military adventure, by being fed a mix of half truths, exaggeration and lies. What Iran actually says or intends, is presumably known in Washington. But even if so, it is not going to be apparent to the likes of you and me, so long as such knowledge might get in the way of the administration's plans.

Bush sux0r, its all about oil.

Go to "war"? Probably not full scale war it wouldnt be much of a war Iran LOST its war to Iraq so the USA could probably defeat it "militarily" within days.

The clueless is here ....

What else would it be about?

This is probably the dumbest comment I've ever made, but if the slave trade involved arabs, the US would probably be waring in Africa and pussyfooting around the middle east.

Just a thought.

For George W. Bush, it was sold to him as a vengeance for the humiliation that Saddam was doing to his dad ... George bought that easy, since he is not very smart ... The oil factor for him was a small factor.

For the Cheney, Rice, Wolfowitz and the other hawks, it was naturally oil ... They played Bush and he fell for it ...

One thing it was not about was the well being of the Iraqi population or the stabilization of the middle-east.
