The USA should invade only if the Iranian government can invade the USA, and topple the regime there.
Fair is fair.

As for "keyboard warriors ",I would support shifting resources from quantity of arms to better armour & better salaries for the soldiers ...
So, who gets to decide what is a savage, barbaric and oppressive regime? If China decides that we are one of them is it okay for her to attack us?

Not interested in what you support. I want to know when you are going to join the military. I hear the big words, lets see the action now.

Iraq is now the region's 2nd democracy,after Israel...

( Iranian "parliament " doesn't count as a democratic institution )...

It is difficult to teach democracy to savages who only knew how to opress & kill each other ...
After all,the muslin culture is against democracy,in favour of dictators empowered by Allah ( "ayatollahs")...

Does that mean that, after Iran, you want us to invade Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, etc, etc.?

When are you joining the army?

Anyway you cut it,
Korea,Vietnam,Somalia, Bosnia,Kosova, Iraq,Afghanistan,
USA is indeed the Superpower of Good.

As for a show, someone who barks & cries on camera ( Beck ) gets so many spectators.

I don't bark & I don't cry,so my show would be a serious one...

It's not your barking or crying that I find so amusing. Really. I've enjoyed your posts so much today.

And how many of those have been clear cut successes:

Korea .... only half the country was "saved"

Vietnam ... have done much better since we left

Somalia .... warlords and pirates won that one

Bosnia/Kosovo ... stalemate with no real decision

Iraq .... still very shaky. Could go either way.

Afghanistan .... propping up a corrupt government that bought an election.

We might be the "superpower of good" but we don't seem to be very good at it.

Anyway, when are you joining the military?

Imagine what would have happened to those countries had the USA not intervened ...

It is low class populism to ask silly proofs of patriotism ...

Like asking a pro ss marriage hetero when he will become a homo...

There are certainly countries that did not benefit from US intervention. For example, I don't think anyone considers post-Arbenz Guatemala to have been much of a success after we kicked him out.

I'm not American but inviding Iran automatically involves my country, so the answer is NO! Leave them alone and all other countries in that area. You guys may spend money on wars but we need money for development in Poland, our highways are being built so slowly while we finally would like to be considered Western Europe, not Eastern... And we spent A LOT of money on your wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...
