As a last resort to what? Have they attacked the U.S.? Let's see the case for why war with Iran is "inevitable" please, before we commit yet more lives and money to another unwinnable war.

That's not why you need to conquer Iran.

You need to conquer Iran in order to have unfettered uninterrupted air, road and rail access to the Five Central Asian States from the Persian Gulf/Arabian Sea/Indian Ocean Region.

What terrorist attacks have Iran been part of? How many of the 9/11 hijackers were Iranian?

Aside from this fact, if we go to war with Iran we are going to lose.

It is very good for the stock price of military hardware suppliers.

Nobody cares about our kids, their kids have bone spurs.

You need to explain how these actions deescalate tensions in the middle east.


It appears that this latest contrived threat was from Israeli intelligence so take that for what its worth.

The only reason someone would be upset about those actions is if they are an anti Semite....

We haven't backed the Saudis, we've sold then military hardware. What they do with it is up to them. And Yemen is a crap hole infested with islamic terrorists. Let them fight over there and leave us alone. Not my problem or concern.

It was the Saudis who attacked us on 9/11. Yet we invaded and punished Iraq for that and kept to a very hands-off policy on the Saudis. They literally walked away from that terrorist attack scot free. If you think that isn't "backing" the Saudis then you have a problem with English language comprehension.
