User ID: 75049243 United States 06/17/2019 08:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Iran has done nothing except not participate in the global financial system. Doing this has already destroyed Syria, Libya, Iraq and many others. The CIA killed their elected leader in 1953 and installed a US puppet so stealing their oil would be easier. Iran finally kicked out their invaders in 1979 and the US hates them for this. Israel constantly pushes for war with Iran using American blood and money. I understand the Iranian people are very nice and starting a war with them would be a tragedy. Americans ask questions like "should the US go to war with Iran" as if it's a football game, or some other event like taking a trip to Florida on vacation. War is not a game, or a joke.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77720986 Moldova 06/17/2019 09:05 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WAR is a racket. It always has been. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77177143 It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes. In the World War a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows. How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle? Gen. Smedley Butler Excellent post. Anyone who believes the U.S. should attack Iran is so hopelessly brainwashed by Zionist propaganda that it's terrifying. |

The world will be a safer place with a different regime in place. Bush Jr should have gone after Iran instead of Iraq, but he was more interested in avenging the assassination plot against his dad that Saddam Hussein supposedly had. Iran has had it coming for 40 years. It is going to happen eventually. Might as well rip off the bandaid. |

Quoting: Coppercoal After you vote. Please explain why. What most fail to realize is we are already at war with Iran and have been for DECADES. So is much of the Middle East. The only question for the West and the Middle East as well is when do we want to engage in a final showdown with these insane Zealots. Note, I didn't say, If...I said WHEN because make no mistake that day will come. So, do we want to face them now or shall we wait until they actually have nuclear weapons? Hmmmmm, let me see, which choice should we make. Last Edited by FeedYourHead on 06/17/2019 09:13 AM Ask Alice when she's 10ft tall This is a battle for the future of civilization.

War is expensive and it kills our children Think what we could have done with the trillions of dollars spent in Iraq and Afghanistan. We could have really improved most of infrastructure Apparently the MIC doesn't get the same percentages when building bridges as they do when building bombs. Only idiots hate facts |

Komeini was in charge then and was a nasty guy, but they didn't kill anyone even after ignorant Carter sent in a rescue crew which crashed and burned without any military contact. Starting a war looks like the U.S. is trying to save face after decades of botched foreign policy that made America look weak and stupid. I say get over it and drain the friggin swamp already. |

Military should be to defend the US boarders. Instead it's grossly misused. The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

Hasn't gotten the desired effect so what's their next fall back plan? And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking.
