We can't handle an all-out war, and Iran has Chemical weapons. Even if we weren't in Iraq or Afghanistan, casualties would be high.

Personally, I think a show of force is necessary (something Bush is already doing) Coupled with an "accidental" missile hit on a factory near their border. Or something along those lines.

Hopefully said actions will get Iran to step up whatever programs it has in Iraq and pop up into our radar, so to speak.

my stance still stands, if Iran could get rid of Israel they would have. What part of that comment confuses you?

It doesn't matter what weapons they have, chemical or nuclear, they can't and they know it. Developing nuclear weapons just makes it easier to cause problems for the rest of the world.

So......clueless......it......hurts.

You're right, we should simply let Iran develop the bomb, obliterate Israel, and bring the entire Arabian peninsula into its sphere of influence. After all, it's far better to avoid messy conflict at all costs.

They can destroy Israel now much more efficiently than any nuclear bomb they will ever create will do.

what a stupid comment.

If Iran could they would, but the problem is they can't.

stop posting.
If you are going to call something of mine stupid you damn well better have lots of facts to back up your B.S post.

Iran has stockpiles of chemical weapons. Israel is a small state. Launching all their chemical weapons at Israel would destroy the entire country.

What is a small yield nuclear bomb going to do? huh? Destroy 1/4 of a city? Hell, if Iran is lucky maybe it'll destroy 1/2 of a city. I'm sure they'll have a wonderful time mounting such a big fat ugly nuclear bomb on their warheads.

& If they could they would comment shows you have no idea about M.E politics and agendas.

Nobody is out to kill anyone in mass numbers of that proportion, except maybe Hamas.

Ummm... the PRESIDENT OF IRAN has said repeatably that "Israel should be wiped off the map". I'm pretty sure that's his agenda. Granted, whoever actually runs the Iranian government seems to be keeping him on a leash, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ordered some retarded desperation attack when his term ends. Sadly enough, I don't think he'd lack followers.

He wants Israeli leadership gone; he has no animosity towards everyday Israelis. Ahmedinejad is more intelligent than you think; sorry if our current US President makes you think all heads of state are retarded bloodthirsty monkeys.

It's simple, really. I want...
1) ...Iran to stop developing -any- nuclear technology
2) ...Iran to get -all- of their agents out of Iraq
3) ...Iran to halt all financial and tactical support for their Shi'ite brethren in Iraq
4) ...Iran to break all ties with North Korea
5) ...the rest of the world to apply pressure on Iran to do #'s 1-4.

I don't want...
1) ...to see any attacks on Iran!

JD50> I think it's the latest derivative of "neocon." It's Martin's way of labeling everyone to the right of Stalin...
