Is a war in Iran justified?

Question

Does the U.S. have cause to invade Iran as it stands now?

If not, what would be needed for a suitable cause?

Invading Iraq was based on unsupported claims of weapons of mass destruction, with no standing evidence. With this as history, what would be required to invade another country in the middle east?

Answer 1

If it's weapons of mass destruction, Bush has every right to invade Iran.  After all, he never found any in Iraq, why should there be any in Iran?

The US cannot sustain a war in Iran.  The military can't keep up with Iraq, what makes anyone think we can take Iran!

Now it seems Bush is going to let Israel take on Iran, then we can just back up our friends.  He won't take the heat because we are just helping out friends.  Same result, we own a pile of sand that we can't extract ourselves from for 50 years.  

If you think Iraq is expensive, wait until the bill from Iran comes due!

Answer 2

Iran Does not need to be invaded. we only want an activity stopped. Remove the talent and the activity slows, remove the infrasructure and the Party is over. A couple hundred GBU bombs would solve the problem because the targets are stationary. Israel appears very willing to do the job and has the bombs to do it. We may join in the fun and frolic.

Answer 3

More so than Iraq in my opinion.

Answer 4

The U.S. has no justification, though Israel does.

It would be because Israel is our ally that we would get involved. It would be very, very unpopular.

Answer 5

Sure, let's invade. We don't need a good reason to kill thousands of Americans, hundreds of thousands of Iranians, and spend a few trillion dollars.

Answer 6

No.

Answer 7

Since when has the US needed justification?

Answer 8

my view is a bit twisted.  but long story short, yes.

Answer 9

My "legacy" at any cost, even if it means invading Iran.  I don't care the cost in dollars or lives, I will have my "legacy" and NO one will deny me of it.
