You probably dont vote for Barack Obama?

Ignorance is bliss.

Get ready for the Draft kiddos.

Unless you vote for Ron Paul. "His position: just bring them home."

We are over there, with massive ships, they want the war.

Let's have Peace.

I doubt this means anything. But it could be just prepping us for another phony war.

This sounds like another Gulf of Tonkin scenario.

they got some nerve. Tjeremiah1988

We are over there. This would never happen if our troops were over here.

True, and the title of this thread is very misleading.

Since when has Iran been the last axis of evil in the world?

Are people **** stupid or something? Iran must know they don't stand a chance in hell, no matter how tied up the US is. And if Iran starts the war the United States allies would become involved.Guiltfeeder566

LOL last time i checked United States allies were running away from Iraq.

No they aren't stupid. This most likely is a manufactured threat, this happened over the weekend probably was our doing, and now its being twisted into something its not.

Learn history and how the Gulf of Tonkin was a staged event that justified the war in Vietnman, this sounds somewhat similar. Of course, I don't think this will add up to anything. As I said, this could be just psychological prepping that our govt is attempting to stage another useless costly war for profits.

War with Iran would be very different from war with Iraq?

Pearl Harbor was the same for WWII and 9/11 for Iraq...

nothing will come of that.

If Iran initiated an attack on US interests in the Middle East, I can assure you that you'd see a very large Western response. The EU, having already shown their anger at Iran due to their controversial nuclear programme, would almost definitely be involved in some way. That includes troops from the UK, France and Germany, so the US is hardly going to be alone. If the US starts it all off, then other nations would probably be more inclined to stay out of it.

good point but do you think Russia and China would just sit their and let America take over Iran.

Since the Bush Admin. tried to link Saddam to 9/11...

Odd. It seems several seconds have passed since the posting of this thread, and there's still no war. :|pianist

Well that's not exactly what the TC said though :P...

even though the iran preseident is a moron the us is causing the majority of the tension in the middle east

Regardless of the tense he used, this was the implication. Far too alarmist. The only time war is seconds away is when the person declaring it is about to sign the declaration.

they got some nerve. Tjeremiah1988

Well a proper question would be why is our boats there in the first place. We have been an antagonist with Iran for over 30 years, so is sabre-rattling real intelligent when we already have two warzones on our hands? Not to mention a balooning national debt, so when will people wake up and realize that we can't afford war after war?

Since when has Iran been the last axis of evil in the world?

Yeah, last I heard Kim Jong Ill is still in power in North Korea....

Considerably. First you have to contend with the fact that war inevitably brings about the deaths of those who support you through bombing runs, and missle strikes. So essentially you are creating a new breed of people who hate you that more then likely were either indifferent or loved you. Second Iran is a larger land mass, plus if we keep attacking Islamic nations without cause we will probably find out what a nice holy war will feel like. Not to mention it would throw Iraq into an even larger mess, Afghanistan would become worse because it would fan the fundementalist flames in Pakistan even more so then usual. And as usual our politicians will sit in safety while the men & women in our armed forces suffer needlessly.

I think Iran was pissed off that their national team lost to a German league team who happens to be a really bad team(Rostock). They lost 2-0 to them in their home soil! Ilived

:lol: Figures.
