Online Iranian bombing poll

Good job, we are down to 56% who think we should lol

What do you think of this email?

Dear Professor Daniel M. Zucker (who wrote the article on Our Deadly Tango With Iran)
Michael Greenstone who works in the Department of Economics at MIT wrote a good expose entitled "Is the Surge Working?"

Our military is overextended, our country is already in massive debt, and Iran has two powerful allies: China and Russia. What makes you think bombing them would be all it takes? A massive asymmetrical counter attack which could include suicide bombings around the world, increased instability in Iraq, attacks on oil tankers traveling through the Straight of Hormuz, and plenty of other possibilities could ensue. Plus, I think China and Russia would view this as a threat to their national security and would be forced to take some kind of action.

Labeling the IRNG as a terrorist organization was a big mistake as now it gives us reason to escalate tensions which is why our ships are over there to begin with. We could use them here guarding our own borders and waters. The Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam was very similar to the one that happened the other day. Turns out it was not the Iranian Revolutionary Gaurd Corp, but a group called the Filipino Monkeys causing the stir. World war III was almost started because a bunch of bandits got on their radio spouting garbage. You are endorsing policies that create unintended consequences that reduce our national security, our financial security and the future of our country.
 
what the hell are we going to bomb? People serious think Iran will sit there and take it?? Iran knows WHERE ALL our battle ships are. Iran KNOWS where all our BASES in Iraq are... you do not think they will unleash a hell on us?

Then what... we will need to send in ground troops... we will send in 70k from Iraq and Afgah. then what? We will be trapped in another endless war with 1000s of more dead Americans :(

Are you kidding? They'll never let those troops out alive.
 
I have no idea why we would want to bomb Iran. This is crazy! Iran has done nothing wrong at all. Did we bomb the Soviet Union when they had nuclear bombs?
Heck no, even if Iran had nuclear bombs, they would be no threat at all. They would know if they used them, their country would end up destroyed beyond recognition.
 
True. But Iran is definitely not Iraq.

Plus now we are in Afghanistan and Iraq, going into Iran would be no easy task, too many war fronts. I also believe it would definitely cause WW3 with Russia and possibly China jumping in.


I have worked in China for years and China couldn't care less when it really comes down to it, they don't even like Muslims there to be honest (seriously.. Asians can be quite racist). From my experience anyway. Russia isn't Russia anymore either, their nuclear subs are rusting away as we speak, their army sucks apart from their vast nuclear capacity which they know they can't use.

am starting to sound like a neo-con aint I? <slaps himself> :D

Anyway I don't want to sound like a neo-con. But I also don't want all this pussy talk here on this forum. Ron Paul doesn't say that America should mind it's own business because he is scared of the rest of the world.. He says America should mind it's own business because you don't have the moral right nor the financial means to police the world. There's a difference.

Now i know how Terrorists are born! I now conclude that they are actually not terrorists but rather terrorized people bombed by America looking for revenge! That would piss me off too if that was my country being bombed!

Isn't this a horrible question? if diplomacy fails, should Iranian nuclear facilities be bombed????????

We're so quick to go to war, it's amazing... America is like a big child, if we don't get are way we through a tantrum.
 
I seriously disagree with bombing Iran if diplomacy fails but I also disagree with your way of thinking..

Do I think that Iran would sit there and take it? Uhm... yeah.. pretty much.. I don't think they will unleash hell on us, I think they will sit In Iran and watch their precious army be blown to bits by a superior war machine.. In the first gulfwar Sadam had shitloads of tanks but they couldn't even dent the US forces, Iran would be no different.

America might not be capable of peacefully occupying countries to enforce democracy but it is perfectly capable of blowing inferior armies to bits.

Which once again, is not to say that you should.. It would be terrible if it happened and the US doesn't have the means to stably occupy a country with four times the population of Iraq. But blow them to bits? Yeah.. you could, and you would probably not even lose a single carrier in the process of doing so.

in principle I agree, but concerning the words I put in bold, I'd like you to research the "SS-N-22 Sunburn" [try google with "sunburn missile"], along with the geography of the Red Sea, and although I still think you may be right, that missile is a serious threat for this statement.

edit: I knew there was a successor to Sunburn, but had forgotten its name... if anyone wants to know: "SS-NX-26 Yakhonts"

This thread really upsets me, I'm not even sure why were talking about bombing or not bombing Iran. Ignorance is the only thing that causes a man to suddenly decide that aggression is the answer.
