If Iran attacked Israel *maybe even if only by proxy*? would you want the US and NATO to strike their military targets

A nuclear weapon will be detonated in a major US city before Americans are capable of believing that anything is worth fighting for. North Korea made the weapons on our appeasement strategy; Iran is very likely to do the same.

What the problem with north korea having nuclear weapons? I never understood it.

They have a very strong force to protect them.

Why the hell must the U.S sacrifice lives for another country when that country has one of the largest military capabilities in the region?

If you really don't understand the concept, and aren't just trolling, then you are truly an idiot, as your name would suggest.

Just my opinion but I think the split in the vote is because by very nature Democracy doesn't work much like Communism doesn't work in a grand scale and many people are starting to realize this.

I voted Yes but let me explain why. I'm a Libertarian. As part of what I hold absolute is the protection of our Allies when under attack. At that point you have the moral right to strike back to stop such attacks even if that means leveling cities and turning an entire country into glass if need be. That's the reality a decision to attack means and it should not be taken lightly as it has since at least WWI let alone Iraq. Half measures are not part of the equation either.

Having voted Yes I did so because of the limited scope of the question. Had it asked that I take into consideration the type of government the US is then I would have voted No. In name at least the US is still a Democracy and such I based my answer on the type of system supposedly in place and not what is actually there.

Look how power is abused in both Democracy and Communism and you can understand why people are not willing to step up.

Fascism is hardly a replacement and arguably the more Democracy is abused the more it moves towards an open Fascist government.

If you define Fascism as the perfect marriage between business and government then many Western nations are openly Fascist and are a Democracy in name alone. You don't have to parade around in black uniforms and wear a swastika armband to be accurately identified as Fascist. Nazism is like Stalinsm and you don't have to be in either to be a Fascist or Communist.

The only system that is fully accountable is a Libertarian system. Some call is Liberalism and others call it Conservatism. These people are half right and half wrong.

Libertarianism is the polar opposite of only one form of government and that's Totalitarian (eg. Fascism). Both Democracy and Communism can far more easily be perverted into a Totalitarian government. Trying to convert a Libertarian system into a Totalitarian system would require more then just an armed revolt but a total opposite way of thinking.

Funny how people don't look at it so simply and instead talk around the problem instead of through it.

If by "their" you mean Israeli military targets, yes I would support it.
