It wouldn't surprise me.\n\nA few years ago, who would have thought that the U.S. would invade Iraq, contrary to the U.N.'s stand on the issue?

The U.S. will not attack Iran until Iran uses military force on another country.  The U.S. will, however, impose economic sanctions preventing Iran's economy from emerging from the recession it finds itself in.  As to the second part of your question, yes, a U.S. invasion of Iran will inflict many casualties on the U.S. forces.  However, if you assume that Iran could actually defeat the U.S. in an armed conflict, you are mistaken.

Good god NO. If we attack Iran Syria will invade Iraq and our troops there will be flanked from the east and the west, not to mention what other Arab countries would jump in. Our troops in Iraq would get slaughtered.

Absolutly.\n\nIran has already said that once they get a nuke they will destory Israel. If you look at the comments from Iran, their goal is not protection but to actully trigger the end of the world... no joke, read up on it. They want to cause a world war that will destroy the earth and bring "Allah" from heaven.\n\nThe rest of the world can not wait till this happens, because if we do nothing then Israel will HAVE to do something, and then we end up in an even bigger war because Israel will be attacked by every other arab nation for attacking Iran.\n\nChina and Russia are just causing trouble as usual because they want that oil money and the techology contracts... just like they did in Iraq.

No,they won't.If America is smart enough I don't think they'll mess with Iran.'Cos Iran it's not Iraq or Afghanistan.And US doesn't have the financial and human resources to start another war.It would be lost from the start.

If the US went to war with Iran, I would side with the Iranians. I am not sure we would have ANY allies. \nYes, we have the technological capability to project force and \ninflict major losses to the Iranian military. This would put " paid" to any expectations of maintaning control in Iraq and we would be seen as a nation of war criminals.\n\nAs a Muslim country, Iran would be seen as a victim of US military aggression throughout the Islamic countries and this might cause irrepairable harm to any standing we still have in the Middle East.  We would become the Great Satan, as we were described in the years following the Iranian Revolution.\n\nSuch an attack could unify much of the Middle East in a way not previously achieveable and have disasterous social, political and economic consequences.  Forget oil from the UAE.\n\nAS to nuclear devices: Iran is at least 10 years away from having nuclear weapons. Recently India, ( which like Pakistan developed nuclear weaponry ) was allowed futher access to American nuclear technology even though it has never singed the Non Prolifertion Treaty. \nNorth Korea has developed its own program as well.\n\nBased on the foolish rhetoric coming from the early days of the Bush Administration, Iran probably feels threatened by being labeled as part of an Axis of EVil by a hypocritical United States president who led his nation into a war for access to Middle Eastern Oil - under false pretenses. \n\nHaving already mired us into a 3 year quagmire, our forces would be stretched to a breaking point if we open another major front.  Not only would world opinion condemn the US, but most of the poplation would hold this government accountable as well.  I could be the end of a lot of things. \n\nThese are interesting times.

The us is already at war with iraq and terrorism mainly. if we were to go to war with iran our problem would be multiplied by a catastrophic amount possibly leading to world war three.\n\nI also disagree with the person right before me it is a problem to every one . iran will want to use those weopons on the first person that pisses them off they are a ticking time bomb.

No, or America might invade.

I've been saying this for months. I've told EVERYBODY that after the elections, the U.S., Great Britain, and/or Israel WILL strike Iran.\n\nThink about it...  . . .We're not about to let them get NUCLEAR BOMBS.

We probably will go to war with Iran, but not until 2007.  This is an election year and Congress is not going to approve anything which will infuriate the public right before half of them are up for reelection.

I do not think President Bush will allow us to invade Iran right now.  There's too much going on in Iraq right now.  I think he'll leave it to the next President to decide.  Too many people want our soliders to come home.

Prepare yourself for the unthinkable, war againsty Iran may be a necessity.\n\nThe UNIMAGINABLE but ultimately inescapable truth is that we are going to have to get ready for war with Iran.\n\nToday Tehran threatended the US with 'harm and pain' for hauling them before the UN Security Council over its nuclear program.  The rapidly intensifying crisis is like a train on a collision course.\n\nWhile we were chasing phantom nukes in Mesopotamia, next door, Iran was busy building real ones.\n\nThe unavoidable reality is that we now need urgently to steel ourselves to the ugly probability that diplomacy will not now suffice, one way or another, unconsciounable acts of war may now be unavoidable.\n\nThose who say war is unthinkable are right.  Those who say the US should not send young boys to die in the Middle East far from home are right.  Those who say war will foster more violence in the Middle East are right.\n\nMilitary strikes, even limited, targeted and accurate ones, will have devastating consequences for the region and for the world.\n\nAll the argument against a strike are fearfully powerful.  But multiplied together, squared, and then cubed, the weight of these arguments do not come close to matching the case for us to stop, by whatever means necessary, Iran from becoming a nuclear power.\n\nIf Iran gets safely and unmolested to nuclear status, it will be a threshold moment in the history of the world, up there with the Bolshevik Revolution and the coming of Hitler.\n\nIran has stated that they will 'wipe Israel off the face of the map."  They've stated that the 'holocaust was fake.'  And the kind of society we live in and cherish in the West will change beyond recognition if Iran becomes nuclear.  We balk now at intrusive government measures to tap our phones or other intrusions into our civil liberties. Imagine how much more our freedoms will be curtailed if our government's fear we are just one telephone call or e-mail, one plane journey or truckload away from another Hiroshima.

mark my words, if we go to war with iran... WE WILL LOSE\n\nThey may not have the technology we have. They may not be a sophisticated militarily as us. \n\nBut they have over 1,000,000 people ready to strap on bombs and take the war to our soldiers and our homeland.\nAnd that is no bull$h!t\nMany of there people have already told there president that they will do "whatever is needed to defeat the bully" known as the U.S.\n\nWe are not talking about soldiers here. We are talking about civilians with families who are prepared to die.\nWe can not defeat that.\n\nJust ask the former Soviet Union.

The odds are that a coalition will end up attacking Iran.  They can do alot to "placate" the world, but every day we wait they are getting closer to destabilizing the entire region.  Those who think the military cannot handle another engagement, bullpuckey.  We can call up ALL reserve and guard troops, we can start conscription, and we would WIN!  I hope like hell this does not happen, but America will not be bullied, or allow one country, JUST like Iraq, to threaten the WORLD's (not Cheney's or Bush's) oil supply.  If it was disrupted for any length of time, with a regional war, or by the theocracy in Iran(backed up with Nukes), the WORLD economy would go into instant depression.  \n\nThen who would we blame???  People forget that the entire WORLD needs peace and free access to resources, that way we all can prosper!

It's a threat. They're enriching themselves in uranium and soon will blow up Israel and ignite a world war.  I don't know why the UN is such a pussy on Iran or why Bush hasn't taken a strong action against Iran. If the Bush administration or Israel invades Iran they will have my full support. I don't hate Iranians or muslims but radical islamics are a threat to society. I hope you don't think I'm a bigot.

soon, it definitely depends on Iran - if Iran does not comply and keeps going for nuclear weapons, we will be invading Iran for sure.  \n\nNear-term Iran, However I think China down the road may be WWIII if there ever is one.

Not at present as;\n\nA) IRAQ will now provide much of the oil the USA wants, at a price it likes. Therefore it can afford some disruption to oil supplies from Saudia Arabia - it won't cause panic buying in the US.\n\nB) The are easier targets which, if invaded/attacked, will restore US confidence in its armed forces and help get a Republican re-elected to the White House.\n\nNope - no attack on IRAN in the near future.
