It is important to know the feelings of the Americans on this crucial issue.

We should be rational & not sentimental,not "waiting "a new 9/11 to motivate us against islamofascism...

So,you can vote your preference...

NO! HELL NO!

Invading Iran now or in the future would be about as stupid an action we could possibly take. The Iranians, even the fanatics running the place, are not our enemies. There is no reason for an attack except to steal their oil and gas reserves or protect the Monarchs of Saudi Arabia or the Likud nut cakes in Israel. This people are not our friends and should be left alone to find their own fates.

In addition we should withdraw from the endless morass of Afghanistan. Let the market determine who eventually controls the Central Asian petroleum reserves. They are none of our business.

First, show me we have the money to fight another war. Then we can discuss strategy.

(btw, answer: NO)

Well,we have the money because...we are the moneymakers...

We just spend 700bn,as if it was peanuts...

It is true that the "public sentiment " is introvert right now,people cannot focus on foreigh enemies...
However,this is a weakness of the American public...

Patriotic politicians should strengthen those weaknesses,not nurture them...

I believe that if Iran comes close to producing enriched uranium,at least an air strike against those nuke installations is nessecary.

A repeat of Libya 1985 air raid.

In the long term,the islamofascist regime is only a cancer getting stronger...

At some point,surgery is unavoidable...

We've already interfered with the Iranian government. In fact, we are the very reason that we are in this position with them now...
