I understand that this is what President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believes should be done, and he is trying to gain support across the Middle East by challenging other regimes by questioning their faith but does anyone else see this as a poor move? I think he is creating more problems that he won't be able to deal with. This is only going to give the IAEC more to take to the Security Council. This will also give the United States and Israel the opportunity to show that Iran is most likely creating WMD's. Does anyone else have any ideas about this? :sarcastic

It makes me wish that our troops weren't tied down in Iraq, while the real WMDs are being created in Iran.

On top of that isnt our military already quite small?

Something else that’s quite disturbing was in another article I was reading (couldn’t find it on the net) President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was quoted by saying he wanted to fulfill the wishes of Ayatollah Khomeini. In 1942 Khomeini made it very clear what he wanted to do by saying “Kill all the unbelievers” and “Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter their armies” Just the fact that a President of a sovereign nation would indorse these ideas is scary. I see a serious problem ahead for the U.N. dealing with this issue.

Ugh.

All these situations keep getting worse and worse.

I wonder if the strategy was to get rid of the little problems first and then take on the big problems. I really don't want another war though. I think someone else should do it this time. Let China step up and show everyone what they're made of. Why does it always have to fall on the US shoulders?

Is war with Iran probable?

"Tony Blair has expressed "revulsion" at the Iranian president's assertion that he wanted Israel "wiped off the map"."

an article from the BBC on tony Blair's stance.

This is political hype. Iran is not yet in a position to act.

Iran is not yet in a position to act?????
why?????

 

[patronsaint]

you brought a good point, 'why does it always fall to the US to save everyone?'

well the answer is that it always falls to the US to save HIMSELF. the US controls more than 50% of the WMD in the world and you guys are concerned about Iran using nuclear powers.

is it realy that good to have the US as the ONLY super power? shouldnt there always be compotition?

At least we're bombing Libya.

Hopefully Obama's foray into Libya puts those silly snarky 'Bush took his eye off the ball by going to Iraq' comments to bed. Libya? Really?

No. The number of our active armed forces personnel (i.e. not counting reserves) is the second largest in the world. The first is China.
