This thread is preposterous chickenhawk nonsense. War with Iran would ruin the United States.

We are almost ruined by these wars already. A war with Iran would be a disaster.

It seems to me the Iranians would take over the Saudis. This would allow non monopoly oil marketing. I think that is a desirable outcome.

it is also easy to judge someone while sitting behind a computer screen. you have no idea what i am about or willing to do if the need arises.

As a Christian, I'd say "do nothing." Christians are called to suffer, rather than cause suffering.

If we treat others kindly, they will treat us in the same way. For the rest, God will protect us. After all, isn't there a phrase on American currency that says, "in God we trust??"

Peace,
brian

#1- I'd fly the FIRST plane over there

#2 - so did you volunteer for the local police and fire department? Or do you not get to use either since you did not work for either?

Is this 3rd grade?

No need to sweetie - that's why the rest of the country pays TAXES for its VOLUNTEER army.

And I do find it hilarious how the far left psychotics decry potential casualties in an iranian attack - but have of course no comment on the thousands of PREVIOUS, recent deaths and injuries at the hands of iran over the past 30 years.

Can the far left psychotics make up their mind already?

One minute the conspiracy is israel runs the US, the next minute its "israel is a client state of the US."

Stick to one set of idiocies, please.

And this is relevent why? Or does this mean I cannot call the fire department or police if I don't volunteer?

Does this idiocy mean that when congress and a president declare war, they have to take up arms as well

If so, go ahead.
Yet another nonsensical, immature and infantile deflective tactic the far left psychotics are known for.

Can't address how iran is murdering US soldiers and other innocents across the middle east, so its onto the personal attack meaningless tripe.

You could say the same about the US.
So you are saying the US is a cancer and should be destroyed? Are you mentally ill? Sounds like it.

More hilarious lies:

The Brits were relying on an invalid treaty to support their claims, that's why the Brits, who by the way wrote the freaking UNCLOS, were forced to eat Humble Crow Pie and back down.

Great. Someone else who is clueless. Iran is not developing nuclear weapons and their missiles do not have "nuclear payload capability."
are simply too funny. For the adults, here are some corrective links:

DEBKAfile, Political Analysis, Espionage, Terrorism, Security

"Conspiracy of silence over four Iranian nuclear-capable missile tests "

2007 Iranian seizure of Royal Navy personnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"A year later, a British investigation report[2] was released which stated that the area in which the incident took place was not covered by any formal agreement between Iran and Iraq.[3][4]"...While innocent passage is permitted in each others' waters, boarding and compliance inspections in another state's waters would not be lawful.[28]

Since they were in international waters - they were illegally seized by iran. Any more nonsense you want to give us?
