Tell us how much it would cost, how many lives will be lost, how this will effect fuel prices if we engage ourselfs against the government of Iran. Most people can smell spin from miles away. Try again.
Your suggestion is the spin. Your putting financial interests above human interests.

It is the sin of America to put dollar values on people.

How about we learn to love people more than material and money.

US Military is the largest employer in the World... 3.2 million.

Need a lot of tax dollars and things to do, in order to keep the machine running.

We can do better than profiting off of pain and suffering, mixed with false pride and arrogance.

The Tax laws prove you wrong. American's are forced to support this countries military prowess.

People like you need to wake up, and shake the brainwashing from their soul.

Do you refer to the financial aid we send to PA, Egypt and Pakistan that is financed with my taxes (though I really don't want to finance US enemies, yet nobody asks me?)

Back to the OP: no, Iran isn't a threat. Their regime is.

Almost every nation is a potential threat to almost every other nation. That's hardly a reason to barrel towards war!

Yes because, as we all know, they've been launching the ones they have all over the Middle East for years now with the result of hundreds of thousands dead Arabs and Persians

Oh wait, no they haven't. Never mind.

Who's yelling attack? Show the board the "Joe bloes" who are yelling attack. If you can't then you are simply lying.
