Somebody is going to hit Iran, the only question is who.
Or we get attacked by Martians. Shouldn't we just destroy it now to make sure that doesn't happen?

Pure BS.
The Iranian regime works through its proxy terrorists, Hezbullah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, and sometimes murders using its own agents. The targeted victims are always innocent civilians. From supporting Assad to Hezbullah to Hamas to Al-Sadr. The Revolutionary Guards themselves are very actively helping Assad, training Hezbullah, and were active in Iraq, killing and maiming thousands of Americans. The army of Hezbullah is in effect part of the Iranian military. Lebanon is Iranian-occupied. The regime now controls four Arab capitals in its quest for hegemony over the region.

Agents of Iran are also active in Yemen, Bahrain, and in Afghanistan. Recently they were caught in acts of terrorism in Kenya, Cyprus, Turkey, India, Georgia, Thailand, and Azerbaijan. They succeeded in Bulgaria, blowing up a bus full of tourists. Interpol seeks the arrest of high current and former Iranian officials, including the Defense Minister, for mass murder in Argentina. Hezbullah operatives have been indicted by a specially convened international court for the murder of the PM and dozens of others. The list of international terror attacks goes on and on.... And of course it is the only government in the world which is sworn to the destruction of another state. "The destruction of the Zionist entity (Israel) is non-negotiable".

And this is only the external terror. Internally, the regime commits more executions than any other in the world, including for "crimes" such as homosexuality and adultery. The prisons are full of political opponents. Critics of the theocratic regime are arrested for "crimes against Allah". Opposition media have been shut down and the internet is strictly controlled. Americans are held hostage.

The extremist Islamic regime which has control over Iran is the cancer of the Middle East. It is the source of weapons and money to the most violent, anti-peace forces in the region. Until that tumor of terror is destroyed, there will be no peace.

I think American better start writing to the leaders in Iran to ensure they get a co-ordinates correct for those misseles to hit Trump's personal property and not anywhere else. He has got a handful of kids ... maybe instead of sitting in their ivory towers he can ship some of them off to go fight in the frontlines of whatever was his instigates.

This is another of Obama's mess that Trump is going to have to clean up.

This is one of what I'm sure will be many of, it's (legitimately) Obama's fault.
Already warming up in the bullpen with the excuses of why yet another potential Republican war would be Obama's fault. If we start a war in the Middle East the buck will stop with Trump.

There is no denying that Obama made a mess in Iran, well, the entire middle east.

Iran is not going to be allowed to have nukes, period.

The only question is who is going to hit Iran. Us, Israel, or a joint effort with us and other middle eastern countries.

It could work the other way too. When your opponent sees that you are serious, the won't monkey around. You think for a second that Iran will circle our warships in the Gulf and taunt them again? Do you?

If we do something stupid again, yeah. Why should they not do what we would do?
