Better yet, why doesn't the OP grab a gun and go over there himself? I despise people who are always gunning for a war from the comfort of their own computer desk.

Because they do what their boss tells them to do. The only country hated more than the U.S. in that part of the world is Israel. Our illegal wars of aggression are not enough, and will never be enough, to satisfy the military industrial complex. We gain access to oil and these corporations who profit have a private army at their disposal with a Republican in charge.

Just ignore all the dead families.

Time for some new glasses.

Iran Funnels New Weapons to Iraq and Afghanistan

TEHRAN—Iran's elite military unit, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, has transferred lethal new munitions to its allies in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent months, according to senior U.S. officials, in a bid to accelerate the U.S. withdrawals from these countries.

The Revolutionary Guard has smuggled rocket-assisted exploding projectiles to its militia allies in Iraq, weapons that have already resulted in the deaths of American troops, defense officials said. They said Iranians have also given long-range rockets to the Taliban in Afghanistan, increasing the insurgents' ability to hit U.S. and other coalition positions from a safer distance."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

At this point, outside of landing a plane on US soil and shooting Americans directly, I cannot fathom what it is going to take for the US to attack and destroy the current criminal fascist dictatorship of thugs and murderers that is iran's government and war machine.

No nation has killed more Americans and not been in a direct war with the US - EVER.

Iran is a cancer, and its regime MUST be destroyed - a look at its history over the past few years is an eye-opener. It has and is continuing to do the following, with little or no response from the US government:

- killing Americans in afghanistan
- killing americans in iraq
- killing lebanese pols and journalists
- taking british navymen hostage and parading them in violation of treaties
- fomenting wars in 4 other nations
- ensuring persistent conflict in the middle east and preventing a solution to the arab-israeli conflict
- helping the syrian terrorist regime murder its own citizens to stay in power
- running multiple terrorist groups across the middle east, turning nations into war zones and client states
- and the best of all, ignoring FOUR sets of UNSC rulings and refusing inspections as it develops nuclear weapons, including missiles with nuclear payload capability

What is the US waiting for?
we didnt go after iran when they took our embassy people hostage in the late 70s, what makes you think that we will go after them now?

had we gone after iran back then, we would NOT be having the problems we are having today in the middle east.

This type of mindset is likely widespread. I have serious doubts this country can remedy such ignorance. We live in a country where war is considered a first option, not a last option. Truth be told we are full of morally depraved people. That's the ugly truth.

really? so you then approve of what the iranians did to our people during that time? you approve of our sovereign soil being attacked? you approve of our people being taken hostage? sounds to me like you are the one that is morally depraved.

I didn't expect a 'war first'er to understand. I definitely don't expect you to understand why Iran had a revolution in the first place.

WWIII will come. There is an election on the horizon with a DOA economy and Obama fancies himself a modern day FDR.
I'm sure he knows that historically, American people are inclined to re-elect wartime presidents, regardless of competency (again FDR).

The opportunity for attacking Iran is gone. The whole idea of Halliburton controlling the Central Asia Pipeling required Cheney Quislings in Iran (the Pahlavis) Afghanistan (Karzai) and Iraq (where his guy was rejected) didn't work. We are left with two wars both bordering Iran.
