War on Iran

What do you all think about the US attacking Iran to stop "WWIII"?

I really think this is taking it too far. I disagreed about going into Iraq, and this is for sure a stupid idea. I doubt Iran will start WWIII. I would say this is more likely to start a large war. Countries are going to start fearing the US, seeing them as a threat. Not good.

Anyways, your guys' thoughts.

I think that the USA is meddling in things they shouldn't be meddling in.
We should never "go" to war, we should only focus on protecting ourselves.

I think that at least 2 of the republican candidates are fascists. Nuff said.

To attack Iran would be suicide...The US-Military is stretched enough...Attacking Iran would be disasterous.

I lol'd. Some Americans are close to fascists. Not us Canadians eh?

Mostly :P

But that's off-topic. (My other post wasn't though, the underlying meaning was to hint that it may very well happen)

Iran is full of terrorists and is pretty much no threat to the U.S., thus it is pointless to attack. Conviscating their biological weapons is necessary, but like their shit will hit the U.S. anyway...

The only problem with Iran is that they are gaining alot of influence in the east, and the Sunnis are afraid of Iranian influence, and a Shiia revival spreading across the middle east.

Iran is not so much a US threat...yet, as much as it is a dire threat to the middle eastern Sunni nations like Saudi Arabia and Jordan and ect...and it is especially a threat to Israel. Iran's leaders are hell bent on destroying the state of Israel. Thats why everyone is afraid of a nuclear Iran.

Iran's leaders are hell bent on destroying the state of Israel.

TBH I don't totally blame them.

We should have never gotten invovled with that region of the world, a completely ****'d up area thats never going to change, regardless of what we do or don't do.

Actually Shadow fox....we are directly tied to the area, and MUST worry about it, and intervene if we have to.

Because we are addicted to oil and will be for a long time. You have to know what your drug pusher is up to. If he's getting in fights, or jeapordizing your addiction fix...then it is up to you to set him straight.

Although war is not always the best solution.

I saw something the other day that really put things in perspective.
Lead.
We had saturated the atmosphere with lead. When it became obvious that it was dangerous to keep doing this, we just stopped. Lead levels returned to normal.
We can do the same thing with carbon dioxide, we can start using other energy.

We could try...but it will be difficult. To use a new energy scource will take time and lots of money.

New infastructure, new fuel creators, new ect. Basically a whole new economy basis.

Right now our economy is based on oil, it used to be based on steam, where before it was based on man power/slavery.

We can push through, and we can do it. But it will be hard.

The problem is...there is no other efficient scource like oil.

Not yet at least.

Middle east feeds us oil. Oil = Gasoline for cars, tanks, trucks, and other things that require motors. However we're starting to develop vehicles that run on electricity, including busses. (Not sure if there's two 's's in the plural word for bus.)

What we're trying to do is protect the oil refinerys, but it isn't that easy when you have hundreds of people charging towards then with bombs strapped across their chest, willing to die any kind of way, and into an oil well. So that is why the US is trying to convert the middle eastern governments to using democracy.

The destruction of oil refinerys also damages the Ozone atmosphere. So there's a few other reasons to defend the oil besides for the fact that it makes money and keeps things running.

In other news:
The military has developed a new type of nano technology that camoflauges objects such as tanks to blend very well with their surroundings, making the camo vehicle looking almost invisible! How does it work? The tank (In this case) is covered completely in this sturdy nano technology. The technology detects what is around it and blends with it. The technology not only camoflauges the object, but also makes the vehicle more safe, and have a more likely of a chance to survive from bullets and possibly missles as well, though of course missles aren't 100% deflective so it is rare that a missle will not damage it. I don't remember how the defense system is upgraded, but it is.

So while we're kicking the asses of these arabian countries and slowly rebuilding them, we're also advancing in technology to beat them even harder and hopefully faster.

The only reason why I think we should NOT launch a nuke in any arabian regions is because there is lots of oil to be hit and wasted. Valuable oil at that. So it would be extremely foolish to do such a thing. That is why we do not take any actions like that. I think the arabic regions also produce other wares that are valuable and useful for the US as well, not sure what they were though. I think it was gold. I just know that oil is the top priority over there.

Not too mention that launching a nuke would cause a massive world wide hatred and possible assault on Americans (if we launched it).

But of course...if the terrorists are able to obtain one [possibly by stealing it from Russia, or Pakistan (which is why Al'Queda is there in the first place), The entire world would finally back the United States in the east]

(offtopic) We are all tired of the Iraqi war..(as we all know) But I also know that we need to clean up our mess unfortunately....But If Europe/NATO would help us military wise....I think it would be over alot faster than just with us alone....(End of offtopic, although I thought it kinda had something to do with this)
