If I was President I'd let the Iranian people know that if they ever decided to revolt and overthrow the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran that we'd send them weapons and supplies. That's it though,none of our own men would go. It would be up to the Iranians to start the rebellion.
 
Build a massive adamantium dome over the country and re-open it in a million years when they've turned themselves into microwave meals :)
 
As stupid as there president is I dont think he's that stupid as to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on Israel etc because after all Israel has many more nuclear weapons than Iran and they have America over there shoulder. The only reason they may be allegedly building Nuclear weapons is so that if Israel or the US launches a strike they have something to strike back with, if the US along with Israel did not keep making threats towards them and they did not feel threatend by the war in Iraq this problem may not have even arisen. I know the Iranian president doesnt help the situation with his outragious views. But still if everyone backed down then this situation would calm down.

If they are just using the uranium for energy purposes then let them and the US and UK or China and Russia can buy there reserve oil.
 
we should talk or do nothing, wars bring nothing but violence, bloodshed, and the killing of innocent people. 9/11 was a result of america's involvement in the cold war, and the 7/7 attacks was because of britain's involvement in the war of iraq ( in other words, sticking your nose into other people's business, ain't the best idea ).

Example of the IRA for years they bombed us, and threatened us but we never went to war with them, we sat down and talked to them after 30 years we settled are differences.
 
We should do nothing about Iran. If we don't like them, we shouldn't trade with them. They had nothing to do with 9/11 and, if we leave them alone, will probably "find democracy" on their own, since we, in the U.S., are told repeatedly that the 18-35 generation of current Iranians want to be more aligned with THE WEST.

Roughneck's post was basically exactly correct. We need to stop meddling in other country's affairs and South Korea is a more *realistic* threat to America since they have an actual Army and modern weapons.
 
Continued talks is the only thing that counts. Just look at the countless innocent lives and not to mention all the money that has gone into the Iraq war. Such a waste.

The "bad guys" are getting what they wanted. Less freedom for everyone living in both Europe and the US and a failing US economy.

And again, why does the US feel that they have to stick their nose everywhere it doesn't belong? And if they decide to stick their nose in the Iran business too, why can't they just go out and say what they're really after, the black gold?

Yes, because that went so well the last time the US did something similar in Iran. Just stay the fuck out of other countries. You've caused enough trouble in the world as it is.

I'm not saying the US hasn't done good things in the world, but there is a limit to how much stupidity those good things justify.

Yeah, but North Korea has said that they have stopped thier nuclear program (I doubt it). Right now, Iran is the only country in the world running around pointing nuclear weapons at people. It would be very different, I think, if they were in the middle of nowhere. However, they are right close with Israel, another country that could have nuclear weapons, and they both hate each other, so.

America is in it because Israel is their ally, and anytime nuclear weapons are involved, I would think it would be necessary for someone like the Americans to get invovled. Chances are the Americans are the only thing keeping Iran fron attacking Israel. The president of Iran is an idiot, but he's not stupid enough to risk nuclear warfare with a country when his missiles cannot even reach it.

While I am with you on any attack on Iran would be a foolish mistake I have to disagree on a one thing.9/11 was about the US presence in Saudi Arabia and support for Israel.Al Queda originally was formed to fight the russians in Afgahnistan,so they were not trying to hurt the US out of some sympathy for the communists.

Just for the sake of accuracy lol.
While the Iranians may be pursuing nukes no one believes them have them yet while everyone has believed Israel has been a nuclear power for years.

McRocket had it right. You can't go around pre-emptively invading every country you consider a threat,
We don't "consider" them as a mere "threat", haven't you been in tune with "the word(s)" of ''A-mad-jihad'' ? Does he not often call for the absolute destruction of Israel ? What does he say about the future of America ?
[ . . .and expect the world to just fall in lockstep with US foreign policy.
We don't expect them to fall lockstep with our foreign policy ! We're demanding that he cease all of the inflammatory rhetoric whilst the UN allows for him to continue with his secretive underground nuclear program. That's not too much to ask, particularly in the face of a feckless (or perhaps complicit :dunno:) united nations, is it ?
That's not realistic. You can't have the "blow them to hell" mentality, and then totally ignore the consequences.
I agree yet we can't pretend that the threat isn't present. Threats must be taken seriously. I would rather come out on the surviving end of a conflict, particularly when said conflict includes a reckless and tyrannical regime.
Quite frankly,I'd rather not have all the nukes in the world aimed at us.
But we do, fortunately, only by those (for now) who fear mutually assured destruction.

For the ayatollahs of Iran . . not the case
But if we keep defying international law at every turn,
"International Law", IMO, incessantly appeases the fringe element of rad islam . . haven't you noticed ?
our allies have been not so slowly distancing themselves from us ever since Bush's second term began.
I agree, and when he's gone I have confidence that this "distant" sentiment will subside.
Diplomacy is always the best policy - war should be the last resort in all cases.
Amadjinehad and the ayatollahs aren't exactly negotiable individuals.

Thanks for your consideration and service :hatsoff:

Don't worry, you guys will always have Canada to supply you with endless uranium for your bombs. :tongue: All we ask is that you don't nuke us for our oil. (Well, actually, go ahead and nuke Alberta.)

This is what they should do:


Sit down have some tea chat about the weather, and then have a big orgy whilst listening to Dio - Holy Diver.

That's like the fifth time I've seen you mention Holy Diver. That needs a rep... When I can rep you next...
 
Mind it's own business and let the middle east live it's life. we've gotten too deep in people business and pissed too many people off. if it envolves us than we should act if not stay out of it.
 
What should the West do about Iran?

You mean America. Those clowns are more fussed about the advance others make than anyone else in the world is. They dont want competition in any form for what they do themselves.

And I have said it once before: the yanks should have no say in who should get nuke status. As those fucking bastards have used nukes in the past. And all because they couldn't beat the opposition. So that should make their say on anything nuclear void for all tid.
