    Okay, Iran is supposedly only months away from an Atomic Weapon. What,
    if anything, should the United States do? We have tried the France/Britain/
    Germany way, negotiationing. Now what?

    I hope this is rhetorical.

    What are we gonna do?

    Invade? oh...Im sorry...Liberate.

    Our military cant afford another occupation. It can barely afford the one we have now.

    What is your solution? Seen the military recruiting numbers lately? they arent getting better and nor will they. I dont think they ever will again.

    What do we do? We continue on the negotiation path because we cant do it alone anymore. Iraq is proving that.

    Ok, invade. Then start a draft. Is it your goal to destroy this country? No one is being drafted anymore for controversial wars. WW1&2 were not controversial when the draft started.

    Vietnam always was, Iraq certainly is. I dont know what you suggest?

    The US will be forced to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities making enemies out of our Shiite "allies" in Iraq.

    This is one reason the US needs to get out of Iraq.

    Israel will do it - U.S. won't have to.

    I'm sure the Bush administration has all the evidence to prove that Iran is an immediate threat and must be taken out now!!

    I for one do not wish to wait until a "mushroom cloud" appears over our beloved country!

    Well that begs the question "Can we really get out of the way?" After all we do provide an enormous amount of aid and support to Israel, and many Arabs think the US and Israel do everything in concert. Add to that the fact that the attack will be made on the religious brothers of the majority leaders of the new Iraq -- it might not be so simple to even appear out of the way of such an attack.

    Don't waste your breath, chump. If you think we can't do anything in the middle east, and we'll have to sit by and watch the ME breed more terrorist organizations and remain marginalized to the rest of the world, then your side should come up with concessions to OBL and all the terrorist groups. Besides, any war liberals can't win they end up legalizing it. ex. War on Drugs, War on Crime,.. SO might as well legalize terrorism.

    and we'll have to sit by
    But that's what I was just told we'll do in this case. So butt out if you aren't going to talk about Iran and don't waste bandwidth with stupid rhetoric.

    What are talking about? I'm not bashing you for acknowledging the fact that we'll have to sit by, just your other ideas of how it's a waste of time trying to reform the ME.

    negotiate and maintain good relations. the iranian people are oppressed.

    they may revolt one day soon. America can help if needed.

    but we cannot initiate a conflict like in Iraq. wouldn't be prudent at this juncture...

    plus, iran possessing the capability to make nukes isn't going to increase the likelihood of the us mainland getting hit by a nuclear weapon
    Actually I suspect the idea will be for them to come up with two of them and smuggle them out of the country for simultaneous explosions - one in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, the other in D.C.

    It won't be riding an Iranian missile anywhere, it'll be passed to AQ for smuggling.

    Apparently, if we weren't in a war with Iraq, the left would be all for dealing with Iran.

    Ironically, it looks like Iran WILL have WMDs while we are in the midst of the Halliburton trumped up oil-fest in Iraq. The ed up thing is that they probably wouldn't have dared to do this unless they knew our military were stretched beyond the breaking point. The cool thing about not invading anyone is that you always have the threat. We lack that now.

    I am not entirely sure about this.

    The Israelis almost always act in their own self interest, and this would seem to be just such the case, but I really wonder if they would do so without the go-ahead from the US, which I don't see as forthcoming.

    Even someone as incompetant as GW would realize how thinly stretched the US military is.

    This has the potential to be... bad.

    I for one don't really care if they get them. The first country that uses nukes will pay a far heavier price than one might think, and as crazy as the current Iranian president is, I doubt even he would use them. If Iran wants to beggar it's economy on a pointless arms race, I say let them.

    so you are admitting that the United States, as the Main Superpower Nation is responsible for policing the earth with regards to weapons of mass destruction?

    Are you high? If, and this is a big if, Iran was able to produce 3 nuclear weapons, don't you think it would be more prudent for them to keep them as a defensive weapon in case of an invasion? Jerusalem is as holy to Muslims as it is to Christians and Jews. Israel 'allegedly' has hundreds of nuclear weapons, you think Iran wants to face that rath?

    Jerusalem was never holy to muslims until The jews started to maintain it, and the christians wanted to retrieve it. Muslims have this little kid mentality, that anything some one has is theirs. According to them Abraham gave them the blessing and not Isaac the father of Israel. And before they knew of an old testament they were just a bunch of nomads who had no clue about Abraham.
