Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around whether Israel would support the U.S. in a potential military action against Iran, with many participants noting that Iran poses a significant threat to Israel. Some argue that Israel has its own issues to manage and may not engage in a conflict, recalling how the U.S. previously worked to keep Israel out of the Gulf Wars. Others highlight the complexities of military action, including the potential backlash and the lack of solid evidence regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities. The conversation also touches on the historical context of Iraq's missile attacks on Israel during the Gulf War and the implications of Iran's nuclear ambitions. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards skepticism about immediate military action against Iran without clear justification.

I guess that Schrodinger did not know what the situation was really even about! Or maybee he thinks that Ahamadinejad saying that he wants to a nuclear program is just propaganda made up by the American media.:biggrin:

Schrodinger is correct, you are the one making a "leap of faith" If Iran is MAKING nuclear weapons then we have a problem, surely you don't oppose Iran using Nuclear technology for energy purposes?

Are you serious? What about Bush Blair etc... You should put your hatered for the unknown aside and try and understand the ramifications of your proposal! A war with Iran will undobtly cascade into something very very much bigger. Anyway Even if Iran does develop Nuclear bombs, I can't see anyway they could deliever them to the US. So you would be safe, why don't we let the ME sort there own problems out. It is completely obvious that any interaction from the "west" just makes things worse. If I were you I would be much more scared of N.Korea than Iran...

If we did go to war with them then this thing would defenintely cascade into something very very much bigger. That is why I think Israel should whipe them out.

Israel couldn't "whipe" them out anyway, unless they admit to having Nukes then they too would be taken to the security council!

Anyway if Israel attacked Iran, they would be attacked on all sides. Then everyone else would be pulled in, as I said before it would cascade.

So you think from where you are sitting, the population of Iran should be wiped out? Is this what you are saying? There is a word for that, its called genocide!

Nothing000, what do you think would happen to Israel if they attacked Iran?
 
  • #46
Dude, Israel is not only powerful, but all the western countries have their back.

What is it with you Europeans? Why do you sympathize for these terrorists? They hate you guys as much as they hate america. They hate anyone that is not Muslim. That is why I say they are the most intolerant people of the world.

Which terrorists? Are you trying to say that the Iranian nation is full of terrorists?

That's a post completely filled with nonsense.
First of all, what do you mean by "you Europeans". We're not a single mind you know.
Second, in general, "we" do not at all sympathize with terrorists. (And btw, what specific terrorists are you talking about?)
Thirdly, who are you saying hate us? The people of Iran?

Are you takling about "terrorists", or muslims in general?

So that would push US into the war anyway...you just wanted Israel to do the dirty work first, so that you couldn't be blamed this time...

I am not racist. The fact is that extremist muslims hate any other religion or way of life. Can you dispute that?

Like I said earlier, the religion of islam needs to incorporate more tollerance of other religions and change with the times just as most other mainstream religions have. I understand not all muslims are extremists. But it is these muslims responsiblity to stand up and attempt say that Islam needs to learn how to conform to the process of globalization.
