Nope.................sorry...............one of the WORST things we could do right now is to attack Iran.
Why? Simple actually, Iran is an Islamic country. How quickly do you think the Islamic terrorist organizations would be able to recruit people if the Great Satan of America attacked an Islamic country?
Same reason that we are only doing airstrikes on ISIL, because if we put combat troops on the ground there, it will be seen as Western oppression, and a lot of Islamic types would go and join the terrorist organizations.
I've got news for the OP...................the situation over there isn't as cut and dried as they think it is. Speaking as someone who has actually been to the ME on various tours, it's far more complex with lots of hidden alliances where an attack on one group can incite other groups to attack the United States.
I respect your opinion, as unlike some of the others opposing my OP, you actually seem to have intelligence.
But with that respect, over TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND have been mass murdered by iran's hand in syria, and tens of thousands more in iraq, with another war in gaza this past summer and no chance of peace - ever - in the mideast as long as iran's current regime exists.
Yes, there are sunni-shia issues, saudi arabia and pakistan are also cancers, with qatar not far beyond. Even Turkey has been a problem under erdo the dog for some time - but they are relatively manageable compared to iran - a fucking total cancer propped up and defended by russia and china.
They are an enemy state whose nuclear weapons program is totally unacceptable; they are already fomenting wars in five other countries without a fully developed nuke weapon - can you imagine how aggressive they and their terrorist proxies like hamas and hezbollah will be once they are able to operate under a nuclear weapons shield? Would you have wanted to fight Desert Storm in '91 if you knew Saddam had a functional nuclear weapon? Do you think he could have been dislodged from Kuwait if he had one? And what of our allies like saudi arabia and the gulf states, whom we are obligated through public/non-public agreements to defend? Last, allowing iran to achieve a nuclear weapons capability guarantees saudi and others in the mideast will do the same - do you want to see them available - and probably used if they are - in the most volatile place on earth?
