    To say that the only way to respond is via a bombing campaign is madness.

    Well, unless they behave like the Nazis, their military force won't get the job done. That's why they lost to Hizbollah. :eek:

    Iran is not Iraq. Iran has ties with China and Russia. Taking any military actions against Iran will split the world. After that for any country you are either behind USA or behind China and Russia. Today We can see the split occurring already with Venezuela, cuba, Iran, N. Korea standing against USA and with China and Russia on their side and don't forget the rich Saudis who fund groups like Al Queda can also drag the Arabian peninsula to join China and not to mention other Muslim nations like Syria. Who will be on USA's side other than GB of course? I know I went to far but those are just my take on the issue. Again Iran is not Iraq and can cause huge damage to us and other western nations through terrorists or any other terror activities.

    I agree with you that "it can cause huge damage to us and other western nations through terrorists or any other terror activities." But isn't that exactly what Israel, military industry and oil industry want. Why should they care about the rest of us when they can reap benefits from war? :confused:

    Without discussing the ways in which the situations differ, the same things were said about Iraq, although France/Germany was in there as another axis as well, right beside Russia/China.

    And while I freely admit that the predictions were somewhat right, but not nearly as dire as the most severe prognostications.

    My main point is going to War against Iran is a BAD idea all around. I will admit I don't know much about Israel except that Israel exist as long as USA is behind them. No offense to Israelis. But I also believe that war with Iran will "wake up" all the terrorists/radical Muslims in the world including the once already set in USA today but mainly in Northern Pakistan also called Waziristan which will cause devastation to Pakistan's extremely unstable government and Pakistani Civilians, turning Pakistan into Iraq and if USA gets rid of Iranian current regime, Iran too will become another Iraq (and beyond because of Iran's very liberal and radical Muslim Students) and these kind of situations will create more radical Islamists throughout various nations of Middle East and spread the ideology to western world even further then it already is. Personally It would be a shame to see any terror attacks in a beautiful city like Dubai.

    LMFAO (darkly).

    Well you see, sir, the, er, blockade would hurt the Iranian citizenry, so we are, um, pretty much going to drop bombs on them instead. Much better for the people of Iran.

    whats next "grandfather of all bombs" by USA? Do I smell a arms race starting? If this truly is a much better and the worlds most explosive bomb by Russia then this will most definitely bother USA thus US will create a greater bomb and well... two words "cold War"
