Are we not taking the situation with Iran serious enough?

Question

If Israel decides that Iran is dangerous and advanced in producing Radioactive/Nuclear Weapons, they will start a war and many countries will get drawn into this war specially if it becomes a nuclear war. Does everyone agree and understand how serious this issue has become???

Answer 1

Iran has been a serious issue for 25 years. It is now, however, reaching the critical phase very quickly.

Answer 2

No.  For the hardliners in Israel, I would think the time to strike Iran is soon... before the next president takes over.  Bush will rally behind Israel.  In fact, I'm sure the Israeli hardliners would love it if Bush took the initiative and launched an invasion asap.  However, the issue may be a political strategy by the republicans.  Create a new war maybe in October just before the election.  Then rally American patriotism.  Everyone wants to support soldiers.  Maybe, let the Iran situation simmer on the barbee for a few more months.

Answer 3

This is the problem with the Muslim countries, if all Muslim nations in the region were to unite and speak in one voice, as a unity they would be able to control the entire world and put US and other Western Countries to their knees and as a unity they would be able to tell Iran to "shut the h**l up, you have nothing, stop pretending like you have something" But do the Muslim nations do that? absolutely not, they let Israel run wild in the region and allow Israel to provoke Iran to as much as they like and allow Israel to try and bait Iran into a war. But Israel does not want to send its troops to a war with Iran, they just want US to do their dirty work. This is not that hard to understand and its not like we are splitting the atom here; its just basic years and years of facts that Israel been so used to hiding behind the curtains and using US as a puppet. They know that if Obama becomes a president, Israel is not going to be able control US like they have been doing for the past 8 years. They are worried and doing everything they can to instigate Iran into a war while Bush is in the office.

Answer 4

Israel and Iran are like two testosterone fueled kids tossing a grenade between each other to test their manhood. If they stand close to one another, it may go off and kill them both.

Wouldn't that be really poetic?

Answer 5

Russia and China (U.S. alliances in 5+1) and Pakistan who sold atomic facilities to Iran actually know whether Iran is able to build atomic bomb or not.

I think all these stuff, IAEA reports, security council resolutions and sanctions, packages to Iran etc etc are just scenarios to convince public thoughts and some artificial legal ways for breaking the international laws to attack Iran. Oh did they find WMD in Iraq by the way?

There'll be certainly a war with Iran, but never atomic war. If Iran had nuclear weapons definitely Israel wouldn't dare to threaten Iran easily.

The middle east should be on fire because it'll be in the direction of U.S. goals. E.G Arabic countries spend millions of dollars each year to import weapons from U.S.

Henry Kissinger said, "Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs."

Answer 6

I've answered this question way too many times, and I'm going to continue saying the same thing, over and over again.

First of all, to all of you it's perfectly okay if Israel has tons of nukes and missiles, and it's okay to go to war with Iran. But Iran has/might not have nukes and bombs, and they're TERRORISTS? What kind of reasoning is this? Why other countries need to take action, I don't know. Every country in the world has bombs and missiles, and everything, who cares about them.

Iran has bombs, everyone needs to intervene. "They're enriching uranium, they're going to have nukes." "So, we'll just bomb those for no reason." Everyone hears this stupid stuff on Fox News and believes it. You people will believe anything.

Iran isn't dangerous. They've never "invaded" a country first; never. While the U.S. and Israel has invaded tons of country's. The U.S. is currently already in Afghanistan, and Iraq, they're the true terrorists. What has Iran done to insult Israel, or even U.S. for that matter. They're peaceful people, yet most people are too ignorant to learn anything.

I know most of you are thinking, well Iran's president said that Israel shouldn't exist. Mis-translated on purpose, to maybe have people FOR a war on Iran. Iran isn't Iraq, they have strong allies, they have unbelievable weapons, and very smart people. All you trigger happy war mongers, this isn't like Iraq at all, it won't be an easy war if anyone is foolish enough to think that.

By the way, here's what Iran's president ACTUALLY said.

Here is a direct translation of what he said "Imam (Khomeini) ghoft (said) een (this) rezhim-e (regime) ishghalgar-e (occupying) qods (Jerusalem) bayad (must) az safheh-ye ruzgar (from page of time) mahv shavad (vanish from)" or "The Imam said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time”. The words "Israel", "map" and "wipe off" are not in his speech at all.

Answer 7

The way the world leaders are dealing the issue I believe it will go like this, with  NO NUKE TO BE BLOWN for a century or more! No worry, the peace will prevail unless other nations get involved to provoke both of them to go for that bloody war!
