In the eyes of the George and co. Iran's nuclear ambitions are a major threat. It's also on the axis of evil and forces it's citizens to live under Islamic Law.

And lately it's been been sticking its proverbial tongue out at the Western World.

So, will America decide it needs to go premptive on Iran's ass? And if she does, what will be the results? Could the USA REALLY drop an other Nuclear Weapon? And finally, where will the rest of the World stand?

Hmmmmm, this could lead to a very interesting World War Three...

I don't need to explain any of that because I'm not making a moral statement. I'm simply saying that there is no nuclear armed nation tat would fire nukes at the US if the US nuked Iran. No country at all is going to attack America unless they have reason to believe that America is about to attck them.

Of course. That exactly why we built nukes. The US and USSR built their arsenals on the MAD doctrine: Mutually Assured Destruction. If you try to destroy us, we will destroy you. The point to building any weapons of war at all, from a foot soldier to a tank to a submarine is because you want others to think twice about attacking you. That's not just true for the US, it's true for every country.

Too bad radical muslims dont drink alchahol. We would have to import a special ceremonial bottle, possibly of Bud or some other beer that nobody will care about wasting, that the Bush can shatter on a table and utter some pre-prepared witty comment before performing plastic surgery on Iran's leadership.

Of course, I personally see Bush pulling the 'Amature Bottlefighter' skit where when he tries to break the top off, the whole bottle shatters in his hand.

1. No, the US will not do a pre-emptive strike on Iran. That would lead to an all out war and the US is a bit busy elsewhere.

2. Could the US drop a Nuke? Yes, they could but won't. There is no good reason for us to do so. Iran is a threat, but not much of a threat to the US yet. Their weapons cannot reach us yet. They are much more of a threat to Israel, other countries in the Middle East, and Europe.

3. Where will the rest of the World stand? On their collective asses, crying, wailing, and passing resolutions in the UN that Iran can and will thumb their nose at.

could lead to WW III...I hate to break this to you but we are already in WW III and the enemy is radical Islam, not Islam but radical Islam.

http://www.traprockpeace.org/podcasts_transcripts/index.php/2005/11/28/4/

But, if that fails, the military has been told to be prepared to send troops from Azerbaijan, along the Caspian Sea coast, to the outskirts of Tehran where it would project a force of 40-60,000. The Iranian people would be motivated by our presence and rise up and overthrow the mad Mullahs of Tehran. We’ll even put another 20-30,000 Marines on the coast where we can control the Straits of Hormuz, preventing the Iranians from shutting down that. .. oil shipping lane. What happens when that doesn’t work? And it doesn’t take a mathematical whiz to figure that it’s not going to work, ladies and gentlemen. Iran is a nation about 2.5 times the size of Iraq. Iran has a population of almost 50 million people, and we’re talking about putting 60-80,000 troops on the ground. We can’t control a nation of 25 million people with 161,000 troops. What makes us think we’re going to control 50 million with 80,000? It’s not going to happen. Now is where it gets really frightening, because the Bush administration, if they go down this course of action, will have no choice at that point in time but to use nuclear weapons, and they have already developed the weapons — they call them usable nukes. It’s funny that term, usable. This is not about mutually assured destruction anymore. This is not about deterrence. The Bush administration has radically departed from past doctrine to say that we will have a family of nuclear weapons that are usable nuclear weapons, meaning that we can conceive of using them, and then they’ll say we could use them preemptively in a non-nuclear environment, meaning that it’s not about opposing somebody with nuclear weapons or biological weapons or chemical weapons, it’s we can use them any time we want to if it’s in the strategic national interest of the United States.

Earlier you talked about desiring peace. Was I misreading your statement?

No you did not misread my statement. I do desire peace. I always want peace but one must be prepared to fight in case diplomacy fails and a war results from said failed diplomacy. Look at the Cold War for example. Both sides were ready to kill one another but both sides maintained peace between one another because they knew that they could wipe eachother out if one side started something.

Another example I could point to is the Korean Peninsula. Both sides know that each other is ready to fight if someone does something that is going to result in both sides shooting at one another.Why do you think that they still talk to one another? They are trying to prevent war from reoccuring on the peninsula. I just wish North Korea had a better leader but one works with what one is given.

Also, those who are constantly at war, know no peace.

Indeed.

Now you no longer have to worry about this sunni resistance because with 1500 dead in the last month due to sectarian violence, the resistance is no longer the problem; a civil war along religious and ethnic lines is. Think Ruanda, Bosnia and Sudan...

America isn't "too busy" in Iraq and Afganistan to designate a force to take care of Iran - if anyone actually believed that then Iran would have tried their luck attacking US interests by now.

Logistically however, Iran is too large and united to occupy (unlike the infant Iraq, a new country with arbitrary borders, Iran is a continuous socio-political entity going back some 4,000 years), and so an Iraqesque occupation is out of the question, I say the best option would be for the USAF to perform some surgical strikes against Iran's nuclear targets (not as quick as it sounds, there are a lot of targets), and leave Iran with a warning that there is more to come if it does not clean up its act.

Because Iran (previous regime) has signed the treaty they are entitled to buy nuclear materials for energy purposes, but they must allow inspections...

Those that have not signed the treaty were not allowed to receive nuclear materials, from other countries and had to develop the knowledge themselves.

Because the west did not trust Iran they did not receive Nuclear materials even though they had signed the treaty, they also had to develop the knowledge themselves, yet Iran still must allow inspections...:confused:

Note that all the nuclear signatory powers are also in violation...

Note also that many in the region do have these weapons (China, Russia, India Pakistan and Israel), and that Iran has few friends... It would probably need security guarantees to abandon its project.

Who said you cant? Who said you need to?

edit: By the way:

Iran says it is not pursuing nuclear weapons, and the International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors say there is no evidence of a weapons program.

“Iran is a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Under the treaty, signatories have the right to develop nuclear energy. All they are required to do is to make reports to the IAEA and keep their facilities open to inspection. Iran complies with these requirements.

“There is no Iranian "defiance." When news media report 'defiance,' they purvey disinformation. The 'seals' on Iranian facilities were placed there voluntarily by the Iranians while they attempted to resolve the false charges brought by the Bush administration. The 'Iran crisis' is entirely the product of the Bush administration's determination to deprive Iran of its rights as a signatory of the non-proliferation treaty.”

Now we have Iran…a nation with the audacity to make decisions without first asking for U.S. permission. We are faced with the spectacle of America (the only nation to have used nuclear weapons on civilians) warning the world about how nuclear weapons might, well, be used on civilians. We can’t allow just anyone to sneak around and acquire such technology (well, except Israel). We can’t allow those Commie Chinese (Cold War II, anyone?) to arm men so evil they might, well, use nuclear weapons on civilians. Before you know it, Iran will be using depleted uranium and white phosphorous, abusing prisoners, setting up interrogation centers in Eastern Europe, spying on its own people, and fixing elections at home and abroad.

You are so naïve. Iran has been the main support of the Iraqi terrorists, AND the rest of the terrorists around the world.

You have to go to the head in order to kill the beast.
The US has been mucking in Middle East politics for quite some time now, and it appears that the more the US gets involved, the worse it gets for the Middle East and the US. I guess you won't be satisfied until a couple of US cities are vapourized?

Then the US will more than like ly bomb the living bezeesus out of every plant..facility and other means that Iran has to produce a Bomb or other Nuclear device..and Iran will be powerless to stop it..of course they will luanch a few gazillion missiles at Israel in retaliation and try to close the waterways to prevent oil deliveries ..but that will get them only further
escalation and an infastructure suited for donkey carts and cadles .

Iran will be pushed back to 5th world status and make Somolia look like a vacation spot .

No invasion needed. Just major destruction of the military and the infastructure , electrical procduction ,roads ,bridges , air ports ...

You want to play poker..be prepared to show your hand .

then you get an ultimatum..48 hrs or you lose your ability to be an industrialised nation ....and btw have your civilians move out of the following areas scheduled for destruction...

Iran can only sit and watch the bombs and missiles fall.

How long is the question, Iran is more prepared than Iraq was so it would take longer.
No military force can take over Iran. It's too large, and the people are very willing to defend themselves, the average age is low and most of the populace is prepared to fight.

Plus they've got quite a good army and their Special Forces are excellent.

The answer to how long is "if you thought Vietnam was bad, you really, really don't want to attack Iran... seriously..."
I do know, however, that the US military has even more things they want to test out, such as the small diameter bomb system.
Declaring war and killing people to "try things out" is a bit out of order, no?
And then there's me......

1. No, the US will not do a pre-emptive strike on Iran. That would lead to an all out war and the US is a bit busy elsewhere.

2. Could the US drop a Nuke? Yes, they could but won't. There is no good reason for us to do so. Iran is a threat, but not much of a threat to the US yet. Their weapons cannot reach us yet. They are much more of a threat to Israel, other countries in the Middle East, and Europe.

3. Where will the rest of the World stand? On their collective asses, crying, wailing, and passing resolutions in the UN that Iran can and will thumb their nose at.

Your original post:

Iraq, courtesy of the US invasion has resulted in a new Shiite dominated government that will invariably have closer ties with the Shiites in Iran. So, I would suggest that if the US attacks Iran, then US forces in Iraq will have to deal with what they already have on their plate, plus a Shiite uprising. That would more than double the current opposition to the US occupation.

Good plan Stan. :rolleyes:

This thread reminds me of an interesting article (http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/US_ThirdWorld/hypocrisy_Parenti.html)that I read recently:

Our policy makers also argue that right-wing governments, for all their deficiencies, are friendly toward the United States, while communist ones are belligerent and therefore a threat to U.S. security. But, in truth, every Marxist or left-leaning country, from a great power like the Soviet Union to a small power like Vietnam or Nicaragua to a minipower like Grenada under the New Jewel Movement, sought friendly diplomatic and economic relations with the United States. These governments did so not necessarily out of love and affection for the United States, but because of something firmer-their own self-interest. As they themselves admitted, their economic development and political security would have been much better served if they could have enjoyed good relations with Washington.

If U.S. Ieaders justify their hostility toward leftist governments on the grounds that such nations are hostile toward us, what becomes the justification when these countries try to be friendly? When a newly established revolutionary or otherwise dissident regime threatens U.S. hegemonic globalists with friendly relations, this does pose a problem. The solution is to (1) launch a well-orchestrated campaign of disinformation that heaps criticism on the new government for imprisoning the butchers, assassins, and torturers of the old regime and for failing to institute Western electoral party politics; (2) denounce the new government as a threat to our peace and security; (3) harass and destabilize it and impose economic sanctions; and (4) attack it with counterrevolutionary surrogate forces or, if necessary, U.S. troops. Long before the invasion, the targeted country responds with angry denunciations of U.S. policy. It moves closer to other "outlawed" nations and attempts to build up its military defenses in anticipation of a U.S.-sponsored attack. These moves are eagerly seized upon by U.S. officials and media as evidence of the other country's antagonism toward the United States, and as justification for the policies that evoked such responses.

Yet it is difficult to demonstrate that small countries like Grenada and Nicaragua are a threat to U.S. security. We remember the cry of the hawk during the Vietnam war: "If we don't fight the Vietcong in the jungles of Indochina, we will have to fight them on the beaches of California." The image of the Vietnamese getting into their PT boats and crossing the Pacific to invade California was, as Walter Lippmann noted at the time, a grievous insult to the U.S. Navy. The image of a tiny ill-equipped Nicaraguan army driving up through Mexico and across the Rio Grande in order to lay waste to our land is equally ludicrous. The truth is, the Vietnamese, Cubans, Grenadians, and Nicaraguans have never invaded the United States; it is the United States that has invaded Vietnam, Cuba, Grenada, and Nicaragua, and it is our government that continues to try to isolate, destabilize, and in other ways threaten any country that tries to drop out of the global capitalist system or even assert an economic nationalism within it.

No it isn't a war. It's global, but it's too small-scale to be a war.


i disagree.
tell the french partisans they were not in a war,or the aussie coast watchers.

you may not think it is a war,but i contend it is.

even worse then war,it is a clash of culture/civilizations.

granted...by and large most muslim's want to be left alone,like me...and islam is not inherently violent,nor is the millions of followers of islam.
however the religion has been hijacked by either very devout strict adherents with a warped take on the teachings...or very cynical and evil people.

i like alot about islam,then again,i like buddhism,am a roman catholic(gasp)and wish no ill on anyone..period!

however,no insult,your a fool if you dont see what this is....a WAR...plain and simple...just the rules are goofy now.

you have a handful of extremists,perverting the religion for whatever their aim..and yes..they are murdering innocent people left and right....while the civilized world has tried to attain minimum civvie casualties...yet that is their goal?

i dont pretend to know their motives...but the fact is they have declared their falafel or whatever (fatwah)against the west...and they have killed thousands of innocents to that aim...i dont know what you call that..disgruntled?
i call it war when they blow up innocent people(non com's)to further what goal?

chamberlain comes to mind with some of the west"s attitude.they should be stamped out like any enemy should be in a war.

i understand they have grievances...most brought upon themselves...think about it...and most are uneducated cannon fodder..but the fact remains,if your intent is to indiscrimmately kill my kid cause he is white,or american,or brit,or whatever...i am at war with you...pretty simple!

It was also legal for Treblinka to exist you realize. But of course, you don't care. It's only the 'dirty arabs' doing the dying.

And the purpose of Treblinka was to exterminate Jews. The purpose of war with Iran isn't to exterminate "Dirty arabs" or Arabs in General (Iranians are persian, slightly different than Arabs). It's to stop a rogue nation from getting nukes, nuking the US, Israel, etc and creating havoc.

If you mean "dirty arabs" to be THESE guys...

Never have I advocated just "Hell, let's nuke the stupid camel jockeys! Damn bastards! Sendem' all to hell, let God sort them out!". What I have advocated is for the elemination of Islamic fascists. However, I guess you seem to think that means" OMG! HE WANTS TO KILL ALL MUSLIMS! OMFG!"/Islamic facists=normal peaceful muslims. Logical ? Naaah....




This assumes that the training for their infantry was worse than that of the Iraqi army. And that they've been under crippling sanctions for the greater part of the decade.

Umm that was Gulf War one...before all the sanctions on Saddam. They WERE the fourth largest, if I recall. Iraqi Army doesn't compare with US army. Us SOF don't exactly have 'lax' requirements for training. I don't think I'd ever cut the muster for the kind of stuff they require you to do. It's hard..google it.

Ask why the current regime becomes popular each time the US makes another of its silly statements.

Iranians want change, yes, more personal freedoms, yes

Involvement from the US in their affairs, no way!

They have not forgotten the coup against Mosadeq, they have not forgotten the US support for the repression of the Shah, they have not forgotten the actions of the US advisers under the capitulation rights, they have not forgotten that America has shot down a civillian airliner....

And the Iranian people now view nuclear technology as a point of pride; why is everyone else allowed to use these things. Why give technology to India, why not Iran...

They love your people, but they hate your regime as much as you hate theirs

There is no supreme power in Iran, not since the death of Khomeini...there are various influencial factions.

The most influencial figure is probably Rafsanjani...

Still, he lost the presidency to ahmadinejad...

seperate governments is overstating it, see it as changing coalitions...

Iran is not a democracy, but has some stable democratic elements and there are checks and balances present agianst stupidity like launching nukes at Israel ;)

changes of power do occur, making revolution less likely...

If Pakistan were to have nukes I would be more worried than Iran having them, luckily they have none :p

Since when have I lashed out at muslims?

Can't seem to find it.


Really? I think you might be suffering from acute memory loss then. Sand niggers, towel heads, pork coated bullets, etc, etc. All of these terms were used by you against a particular ethnic group, and you've rarely demonstrated more than a passing interest of actually getting the guilty party.

Furthermore, you also advocated that all the inmates of a certain American run Prison in cuba be taken out to see and drowned en masse without even a trial to determine their actual guilt.

Thirdly, your use of Hadji as the target of your vitriol. Hadji does not refer to Muslim extremists, or terrorists of any sort. It is a common term meant to apply to those who have taken the pilgrimage to Mecca. Guess who those are? Muslims.

If you can't remember, either you're lying or you've got bad memory.


Seeing as how you are atheist, it's hard to fathom you beleive in anything supernatural.


What I believe is not what you believe. And by forcing you to confront what you really are, your beliefs would be a much better tool by which to break you.


Well, they don't. I'd sure like to stay alive. Who will be around to care for my parents when they are old? I have plans for the future, and they don't mean jack if I am not around to complete them. Meanwhile, little johhny hadj lovingly and carefully slips on his suicide vest and heads towards the nearest bus terminal....If I die, I die. That's it. I have fire insurance. If I live, great, I have work to do.

Uh huh, and yet you still seem so sure that you'll get this afterlife paradise of yours. Just like Muslim extremists. Not every extremists uses a suicide vest you note. If you think that, you probably have been ignoring facts.


Christian and muslim= the same? Dude....


The difference is only in name. When they both have become extremists, there is no practical difference between the two. That is why they both cannot exist in the same plane of reality. They are mutually exclusive.


And the purpose of Treblinka was to exterminate Jews. The purpose of war with Iran isn't to exterminate "Dirty arabs" or Arabs in General (Iranians are persian, slightly different than Arabs). It's to stop a rogue nation from getting nukes, nuking the US, Israel, etc and creating havoc.


Treblinka's publicly stated purpose was to intern sabatours, traitors and other undesirables. It's real purpose of course was murder camp. The same principle applies to this war here. The reasons you've listed are only a small part of the real reason, reasons that would never sell to the "morally righteous" American public.


Never have I advocated just "Hell, let's nuke the stupid camel jockeys! Damn bastards! Sendem' all to hell, let God sort them out!". What I have advocated is for the elemination of Islamic fascists. However, I guess you seem to think that means" OMG! HE WANTS TO KILL ALL MUSLIMS! OMFG!"/Islamic facists=normal peaceful muslims. Logical ? Naaah....

I refer you to the top of my reply.

But as an added addendum, if I remember correctly, you explicitly agreed with Deep Kimchi's recommendation that a virus be created to sterilize all Muslims.


Umm that was Gulf War one...before all the sanctions on Saddam. They WERE the fourth largest, if I recall. Iraqi Army doesn't compare with US army. Us SOF don't exactly have 'lax' requirements for training. I don't think I'd ever cut the muster for the kind of stuff they require you to do. It's hard..google it.

The first Gulf War occured while the Iraqi army was extended past its borders, and by then, they were already exhausted by the war against Iran. Iran in this situation, has no such handicap.

If war was to occur against Iran, they WILL inflict heavy losses among the civilian shipping of the gulf, disrupting oil shipments heavily. Furthermore, they are likely to have learned the lesson of Iraq quite closely, and will in many cases take up guerilla warfare against the US army, something which it sucked at and has taken no real steps to rectify.

You are a victim of American Religious Propaganda.

Personally, I believe Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he says he doesn't plan to do anything with the Nuclear fuel. As an athiest, I never fell for America's Christian-Styled Propaganda.

We actually PROMISED this. We signed a treaty with them to allow them to create Nuclear Energy! (Canada, America, Britain and one other - I forget) and now because they are Islmaic, we won't let them?

I also believe Mahmoud ever since we acted like total jerks to them. We (Canada) lied and said they were planning on forcing badges on the Jewish Community of Iran. We had to apolagize once we found out the idiot who said this was a liar and made the whole thing up.

Also, the only reason Hezbollah was banned as an organization from Canada is because Isreali-Canadian Reporters actually lied and tricked the Canadian People. It would be perfectly legal in Canada, as we did not believe it as a terrorist organization, if the people wern't shown Religious Propaganda.

I'm not Anti-Semitist of course, in fact, the whole Toronto incident shocked me.... We Canadians happen to get out of hand in Protests...... Let's not forget the "Peace Marches". Last about half of all the American Flags in North America with those. ;)

I of course think everything in the Middle East was first thought up by Great Sata- I mean The Fictional States of America. ;)

No one said they could not have nuclear power..thats the whole point of argument..they wont abide by the treaty that they signed that allowed them the technology...NON proliferation..no NUKES for weapons.

The world doesn't need more countries with nukes it needs LESS .
The US according to Irans revolutionary government is the " Great Satan " and must be destroyed...So it would be STUPID for the US to allow a nation that sponsors terrorism and is an enemy of the US to have nukes ..just on that point alone. then add the danger to the region and the rest of the world .

I dont see a war but I do see the destruction of the ability to produce Nukes .

I have actually studied Iran and its history with the US from the late 1800's to date , to try to understand better the causes of conflict .

Can you say the same ?

Do not forget, that here is currently no evidence for Iran producing nuclear weaponry…
Furthermore, any agreement should allow the Iranian government and people to save face by allowing the development of nuclear energy. For, access to the technology has become a mater of national pride for Iranians…

Studying history and understanding it, are two different thoughts for you? You love propaganda.

Anyways, it is not okay for Iran to develop nuclear energy, but it is okay for the US to develop "usable" nukes? No wonder the world scrambles back into the nuclear arms race. We can thank Bush for making the spectre of nuclear halocaust to be revisted.

Armageddon Back on the Table (http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1116-11.htm)

U.S. ratchets up debate on `usable' nuclear weapons
Critics fear fallout from Bush cadre's pro-nuke strategy

But since the Bush administration presented its radical "Nuclear Posture Review" in March, 2002, pro-nuclear officials have been pushing steadily ahead toward developing weapons that will cross the line that separates conventional from unconventional warfare, threatening half a century of disarmament negotiations, treaties and taboos.

This month, the Senate endorsed an Energy and Water Appropriations Bill allocating $7.5 million to research on nuclear "bunker-buster" bombs and $10.8 million to plans for nuclear "pit" facilities to produce triggers for new nuclear bombs. Both sums were reduced from totals originally requested by Bush officials.

A final environmental study is being prepared to determine how and where the pits should be manufactured.

Crucial to the administration's hopes for developing a new generation of nukes was the repeal in May of a 1993 ban on research and development of low-yield nuclear weapons — those with a force of less than 5 kilotons, or 5,000 tonnes of TNT.

The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, by comparison, was approximately 15 kilotons.

"A one-kiloton nuclear weapon detonated 20 to 50 feet underground would dig a crater the size of Ground Zero in New York and eject one million cubic feet of radioactive debris into the air," says California Senator Diane Feinstein, an opponent of usable nuclear weapons.

The development of any new nuclear arms would require testing. And as early as June, 2001, Bush also signalled that he might consider ending an 11-year moratorium on underground nuclear blasts.

He called for a scientific review of the Nevada test site that resulted in shortening the time it would take to restart nuclear test explosions from 36 months to no more than 18 months from the time an order to resume nuclear testing is given.
Escalating the drive for nuclear weapons, is not good for the US or the world.

Hell they fought the vaunted Iraqi army to a standstill a few years back!:rolleyes:
And the vaunted US army has been fighting Iraqi insurgents for 3 and 1/2 years now, with no end in sight, and terrorism has increased. What will happen if the US attacks Iran? My guess is that any gains that have been made in Iraq would be out the window because the governing shiites of Iraq are certainly more closely aligned with Iran than the previous regime under Saddam.

In the eyes of the George and co. Iran's nuclear ambitions are a major threat. It's also on the axis of evil and forces it's citizens to live under Islamic Law.

And lately it's been been sticking its proverbial tongue out at the Western World.

So, will America decide it needs to go premptive on Iran's ass? And if she does, what will be the results? Could the USA REALLY drop an other Nuclear Weapon? And finally, where will the rest of the World stand?

Hmmmmm, this could lead to a very interesting World War Three...
Just like America forces Democracy?
