Except for the fact that Isreal already has nuke and would wipe Iran off the planet if they tried something.
That and the fact that they're highly effective at going into countries and suprise bombing stuff ala Iraq and Syria.
MAD only works when the other side cares about not dying.

Ok, well, come up with a plan, and we'll match it up with the odds of Iran using a nuke preemptively.
You tell me. I think they matter not to my country, so why should I bother? This is YOUR plan, not mine. Convince me. I'm not the one calling for action.

And you have a plan that prevents them from obtaining the bomb?
Nope, and don't care. Let Iran have a nuke. If Israel thinks they are in danger, let them do what they think is best for Israel.

:thumbsup: I was watching FOX news just now. McCain was on the screen talking about: "Obama wants to talk to Ahmadinejad without any conditions, or any expectations, and that is ignoring our foreign policy. Obama is a noob." (That was McCain talking with AIPAC)...
Then it got me thinking. WTF is wrong with McCain and AIPAC? We'll only talk to Iran with conditions. We can't just "talk to them" period? Then I realized the old fart is absolutely retarded, just like Bush. The only option these clowns support is bombing Iran. Yet Iran are the crazy ones in the Axis of Evil! (oh noes)
I think we need to look in the Mirror.

So now you're retreating and deflecting responsibility? It's either that, or you truly believe that we have the option of completely ignoring their actions without any negative consequences to ourselves... is that it?
please note, not once have I called for action of any violent sort... not fucking once. If you wish to continue having a rational discussion, please leave your bullshit cartoons at home.
I'm simply building on your acknowledgment that something needs to be done to prevent negative effects on the United States... stay with me on that, and quit going out of bounds.

Look, you can keep saying that something needs to be done, all you want. I say tell us what something is, or just STFU.

What the neo-cons and palehorse would like is to first get the Americans to believe that something has to be done about Iran. They don't need to say what something is. Just that something MUST be done, and there's no way around it. Once they get that belief embedded into the American people, Iran can finally be seen as the great threat to the American people. Then the great debate begins on exactly what something will be. Hmm, sanctions? Yes, sanctions is a good start. And inspections, do NOT forget the inspections!! We know where this ends.

Can we get rid of the one in Israel first? They seem like the bigger destabilizing force in the region.

McCain is right, we have pushed for and our allies have pushed for sanctions and made demands from Iran before negotiating with them and our allies have held their end of the bargain. If Obama talks to Ahmadinejad without any conditions, or any expectations he would be not only turning his back on and snubbing all of our allies, when relations are already strained as it is. Not only that, the fool would be setting precedence whereby no sanction, or condition would have any merit for anyone by us, our allies, or those who have them leveled against them.

You are talking either genocide (if the Arabs get their way) or what the Arabs fear (a new Palestinian exodus due to Isreal taking off the gloves).
A dual state in the area will only happen if moderates apply pressure on all sides.
I sincerely hope that you're not dumb enough to lump me in with the neocons. Let's get something straight, I have never advocated a violent response to Iran's actions, and I sincerely hope and pray, every day, that it never comes to that -- please get that through your thick fucking skull.Originally posted by: bamacre

Thinking that is stupid.
If Iran wanted Israel destroyed it would start arming terrorist groups with chemical weapons.
The guy just speaks to get people hyped up... Persians do not care about Arabs. It's all B.S.
If Israel attacked the Arab world Iran would sit back and watch acting like they cared. In reality they don't care.
They just want to annoy the U.S

As opposed to...? or....? and...?
Yes, sanctions is a good start. And inspections, do NOT forget the inspections!! We know where this ends.
I'm guessing it ends with people like you failing, once again, to provide us with any viable alternatives... am I wrong?
Answer this question: Do you advocate doing nothing at all to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons? A simple Yes or No will suffice.

If someone threatened to rape and kill your mother, I suppose those kinds of threats would be different?
