@Scorpion, it's really too soon in America's history to start another war, even if it isn't in Afghanistan or Iraq, and especially if it's in Iran. First of all, look at the conflict Iran is locked into right now. The latest news on this is that some Iranian commander is saying that they're looking to attack Israel. The situation is volatile and the only response in this case would be based off of what? That we support Israel? That Iran is a terrorist state? Let's not forget that, what we call freedom fighters one minute have become terrorists the next. Diplomacy is much better than brute force. Why should we attack? Cause we're sick of it? Who are we to wage war? Then it comes down to national exceptionalism, which hardened nationalists only believe in. Those are the only people who want war because they're the ones who decide they're the solution to all of the world's problems.
I don't doubt that the people in Iran are sick of the Ayatollah. Let's not forget the Iranian revolution. There's been more than one and it's still there. Those guys have Western lives. But they know the oppression. Of course, it's just like any other oppressive government out there. We should wage war on Egypt, China, North Korea, Cuba, Sudan, Russia, The Philippines, etc. And do what? Turn then into our vision of democracy? Or are we just pointing at Iran because they pose a nuclear threat?
