What do we do about Iran?

[CMike]

You're not making any sense here.
Telling them that your post #14 posits a very unlikely scenario serves what purpose?

In other worse just because thing a bad terrorist attack won't happen against the US, doesn't mean that a bad terrorist attack won't occur again in the US, and this time possibly with a nuclear weapon.

I'm all in favor of defending against terrorist attacks.
I just find your very unlikely scenario not worth guarding against.
Moreover, your method of addressing it doesn't address it.

 

[CMike]

Very simple.

Iran doesn't have nukes it can't give some to Al Qaida to attack us with.

What's not to understand?

The underlined portion always precedes the description of a complex situation.
And now you're changing it from Israel to Iran as the source of nukes.

I'm changing what?

I'm beginning to suspect that you need to read post #14 very carefully.

They have supported Al Qadia

Whaaaa??? I thought Al Qaeda was sunni! Weren't most of the 911 attackers from Saudi Arabia? Hezbollah and Hamas yes, because they're enemies of Israel. I agree with my Revoltingest that your fears are extreme. Not even North Korea wants to get themselves destroyed by using Nukes.

Iran is the natural enemy of ISIS, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

 

[JRMcC]

Iran has been the center of evil.

They have supported Al Qadia, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

Iran has consistently threatened to attack the US, and to annihiliate Israel.

Their leadership claims they are not afraid of death.

Therefore, WHEN they get nukes they will not be afraid to use it. They will most likely give it to some of their many proxies.

Chamberlain, err Obama should realize this.

Iran constantly threatens Israel with annihiliation. Iran is not a threat to Israel but to the whole world. They are working on ICBMs which they don't need to nuke to Israel. They are for long range targets such as to reach the US.

Netanyahu is spot on. He is indeed a patriot. He is doing what he needs to do in order to protect his country from death. To bad Obumbler isn't doing the same.

Obama is just a spoiled weak little brat to every country but Israel. He needs to go home and let adults deal with world politics.

Obama has helped create perhaps the most dangerous world we ever had.

Israel took out the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981. The US condemned it. However, imagine invading Iraq, with Iraq having nukes.

Israel took out the Syrian nuclear reactor in 2007.

Since we have a baby in the White House, Israel needs to take out the Iranian nuclear reactor.

Obviously Obama doesn't have balls to do what needs to be done. Israel should do so before they complete their ridiculous agreement which will legitimize Iran's race to get nukes.

"Iran threatens war without boundaries if nuclear facilities are attacked"?? If you attack us we'll attack you back? That's evil? wtf. "Revolutionary guard threatens US after Kerry says US option is ready"? If China were talking about possible attacks on us we would be evil to threaten back? Double standard wtf. Iran isn't the dangerous one. It's people like you in the US that are calling for war and bloodshed over irrational fears and other nonsense.

The hypocrisy of challenging sovereign states over their nuclear capacity, whist keeping a vast nuclear arsenal themselves is stunning to me. Why has Iran got any less right to nukes than all of the other countries that have them?

Exactly. I think the whole world is threatened by the existence of nukes, not just Israel.

Add to this the fact that Iran needed WMDs when we supplied chemical & biological weapons to Iraq to use against Iran. They need them more than Israel does.

I just can not see any possible gain from further marginalising Iran. There is no good that can come of it.

You're not scared enough.

I do try as hard as I can to whip myself up into a xenophobic frenzy - but it is just too pretty where I live to sustain it.

 

[JRMcC]

Any deal that enables a nuclear Iran is an existential threat to Israel and criminally irresponsible.

You and I don't see eye to eye as far as the severity of the threat goes, but I totally understand why someone would be concerned about a nuclear Iran. But in the long run we're all going to have to worry about each other being nuclear powers. Maybe not in our life time but we as a human race will have to deal with our capacity for destruction. I hope I don't live to see a major city destroyed in some terrorist attack. The answer might be that no one should have nukes, but I don't know how realistic that would be.

This will be a serious problem as long as nukes exist. Keeping Iran from being nuclear won't change that. Also, why would Shiite Iran give nuclear weapons to extremist Sunni Al Qaeda? Please tell.

 

[Bunyip]

I can sure as heck see why they would agree with you there.

Zionists have been disturbing my sensibilities for a long time, now.

Oh no you poor thing.
