Question

If the Ayatollah Khomeini called USA the Great Satan isnt war with Iran inevitable?

Answer 1

"Sticks and stones may break my bones ..." No, war with Iran is not inevitable. Not over name calling, anyway. If they attack Israel. though, then we will probably be at war against them. ♥ ∞

Answer 2

No because he's been dead for almost 20 years.

But seriously, war is not inevitable.  Nothing is inevitable if you believe in free will.

Answer 3

Yes. I don't know why we have not wiped Iran off the face of the earth yet. We should have done it 20 years ago.  

Answer 4

"Don't feel like Satan but I am to them

So I try to forget it any way I can

Keep on rockin' in the free world..."

-Neil Young

Answer 5

The United States has freedom of speech as one of its most cherished ideals. Therefore, it would be redonkulous to attack a country because of something their (late) leader said.

We should only go to war if another country literally attacks us.

Answer 6

Khomeini called the U.S.A. "the great Satan" true. But then he wasn't adverse to using the "great Satan's" tactics and technology to get what he wanted now .... was he?

A hypocrite will say anything to serve himself and when the hypocrite is as evil as Khomeini was then it shouldn't surprise anyone that he would have shat on the states before he died. h**l he shat on anyone who disagreed with his vile hatreds & fears.

Iran will do what it will do regardless of the international communities. If they do create a war it is because the cool heads that lead us do not prevail. But it won't be because of a dead man's curse.

War is not inevitable, it is a failure to come to terms with one another. We don't have to fail that. We can come to terms amongst ourselves.

Answer 7

He has the right to say what he wants. Starting a war with Iran is only going to prove us hypocrites. We would be denying him one of our basic rights that we say everyone should have.

Besides, that's like shooting someone in a bar for calling you a butt-head. If the Gulf of Hormuz incident is not going to lure us into his holy-war, then a little name calling won't even get close.

Answer 8

than who is god?

Answer 9

I hate the Backstreet Boys, but I have no reason to start a war with them.

War is never inevitable.

Surgical strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, by Israel, the US, or anyone else, is in the best interests of the world though. That doesn't have to escalate to full scale war, but who knows how jihadists would react to it. Better they not have nukes when they are just being their violent selves, directly, or through Hezbollah or whatever.

It's quite hypocritical of the Iranian president to complain (as he recently did) to other "non-aligned" nations that something needs to be done to curb nuclear proliferation. What exactly does he call nuclear material profilerating in Iran?

Answer 10

If the USA went to war with everyone who called us names, who wouldn't we be at war with?
