Do you think USA should attack Iran in near future and on what basis you think  so?

No! \nWhy send more troops to die? No matter what we do or say, they will become a nuclear power. It is just a matter of time. Diplomacy is the only way to go. If they can't fix the problem by talking, we all are living on borrowed time. (us and them)\nWe should have not invaded Iraq. The world hates Americans even more now. We might be at the point of no return. Only time will tell.

God! To most of those answers so far, you guys have been so brainwashed by your media. To anyone that thinks Tehran should be nuked, think on this, your very attitude gives those in Iran who may or may not hate you, the very reason to attack you.  \n\nWe all have to live on this rock called earth together, your idiotic xenophobic remarks are NOT helping a very delicate situation.\n\nWould you like to be nuked? because if the USA did Nuke Tehran, there WILL be a response in kind from Russia and China!\n\nYou are calling for your own destruction, by wishing a nuclear attack on Iran. it would be a world wide cataclysmic all out nuclear war. You would not win that because nobody would win it.\n\nIran is NOT afghanistan or Iraq. They have not broken any international laws, they are LESS of a threat to the international community than the USA who is rapidly becoming a rogue state, illegally developing masses of WMD, Biological chemical and new nuclear weaponry  and your leadership has maintained a right to use this internationally banned weaponry against anybody they choose.\n\nThe fact that your country poses a much greater threat to the peace and stability of Iran, than they do to you means that they have a right for the international community to defend them, and yet YOU want THEM to be attacked? how the hell do you think they feel? they ARE threatened, unlike you. and you want to lash out???? You are fuckwits if you truly want them nuked.\n\nThey should not develop nuclear weaponry and they constantly claim that they have no itention to do so. I don't know whether to believe them, but what I do know is this, they do have a legal right top develop a peaceful nuclear energy program. They have a right to produce their own nuclear fuel. \n\nWhat I also know, is if they where to ever develop a nuclear weapon to be used against Israel or any ally of the USA, we all know, Especcially the leadership in Tehran, that Tehran would be turned into green glass.\n\nSo why would they do it? They could never destroy the US as a whole, but the US could Destroy Iran, many times over.\n\nLeave the international diplomats to try and sort this out in a peaceful manner. the alternative does not bear thinking about.

Certainly not in near future means woith one year. However, after pulling forces from Iraq, US will try to attempt on Iran.

Did you watch the last war, (desert shield)?  We fired at them and they fired at Israel.  If Iran get their hands on a nuke what do you think they will do?  Let's see, I know generate power for Israel.

I have no doubt that the USAA could easily defeat the Iranian Army and Air Force, though they would be harder to defeat than Iraq's.  A long war would cause considerable damage to Iran--at the very least all electrical generating stations would be bombed, you wouldn't be able to use your computer after the first day or two; and there would be no water supply as a result.  Having said all that, most Americans are probably against the war because we're already having enough trouble in Iraq trying to win the peace. \n\nKeep in mind that just because you have an atomic bomb doesn't mean you can actually deliver it anywhere.  If there were a war, any Iranian plane or missile trying to leave Iran would be noted and blasted out of the sky.  And I doubt Iran would try to use the Bomb inside its own country.  And if Iran did manage to drop the Bomb somewhere, it would give the US good reason for appropriate revenge on Iran.  Are you sure you want that?

Us can not attack Iran because they are busy in Iraq and Afganistan.Other thing is, Us army is unable to control small group of insurgents in iraq.How can US handle powerfull military like Iran .

Hopefully never. Even though Iran's push for enriched uranium is totally wrong, for the US to go and attack another arabic nation would open up a whole new bag of worms. I think Bush and his mates should get over themselves. Violence solves nothing...just causes more pain for more people.

I believe war is hinging on the Israeli PM elections, if Netanyahu is elected he has said he will attack Iran. Iran is looking for an excuse to launch an attack on Israel and they have the weapons to do it. If Israel attacks Iran they will play the self-defense card and launch a major chemical and or Nuclear strike on Israel. Then the domino's begin fall. Look for Venezuela to do something, they seem to be pretty "chummy" with Iran as of late. I wouldn't be surprised at all if South American Nations were able to launch attacks against the US much like Iran is doing in Iraq now. And then there is always the wild-card on the Korean Peninsula.

Bush government may attack to Iran(an attack to Syria is also within possibilities) or support the attack of Israel. But I don’t think that it is going to be within one year at least since USA may have some trouble in its backyard within forthcoming months. Brazil-China relations become closer. There is already a tension with Venezuela. There will be elections in around 10 South-America countries in 2006. At the end of this year, USA may have other Chavezes to deal with. USA is already in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is risky to attack not only Iran but any other country before having stability in the backyard. \n\nYou may look over the following link to see whats going there.\nAnalysis: How the US 'lost' Latin America \nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4861320.stm

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.

IRAN IS A PANDORAS BOX... WAR ON IRAN WOULD BE LIKE OPENING IT AGAIN... ATTACK ON IRAN WOULD DESTABILIZE THE WHOLE REGION... SANCTIONS ARE GOING TO HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACT... SO A THIRD OPTION IS REQUIRED....

US will not dare attacking Iran. Iran isn't like Iraq and is the biggest military power in the middle east. Iran is one of the biggest suppliers of oil in the world, if this attack happens the prices of oil will rise to big amounts like 90 dollars, and maybe even more. US knows that it has several military bases in the range of Iranian missles and in the case of this war Iran can easily hit American bases specially in Iraq. United States knows that in the case of this attack Iran isn't the loser, because the people of Iran have always supported their country in the case of a war. Iran has some close allies in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon each one of these allies can cause big damages to the American troops.\nAirforce is not an option. United States can't attack Iran with airforce because of the new anti aircraft and missle systems Iran has bought from Russia. Nuclear War is not going to happen.\nBut we have seen many idiotic acts from the American Govt. so anything is possible.

I think that this question is totally irrelevant. If Iran( or any muslim nation against USA)  builds nuclear facilities (civilian or military) americans will destroy that country (only becoz they c them as a threat).\n\nI think that america's common sense has been permanantly crippled by bin laden. Post 911 America views the whole world suspiciously (except their slaves in UK and friends in Israel). America has ever since been contradicting themselves. Remember the war in iraq, it was fought bcoz bush claimed to have evidence of non existent weapons and the threat of a dictator.My question to the world is "If iraq , y not pakistan?". Mushy's a dictator and one who openly admits to having nuclear weapons.\n\nI predict that soon the patience of the international community will run out. A grand alliance (Russia, China , France , India and the Arab world) could be formed so that america and americans will exist only in history textbooks.

Within few months of America attacking Iran

I don't think it's likely that the US will get invovled with a war with Iran. Seeing as how the US is still taking care of things in Iraq. I am pretty sure that the US will not goto war with Iran in the near future.

I will assume that you are aware we have been in the country of Iraq for more than a couple of years and are addressing the current situation regarding Iran.  We will more than likely attack Iran after months (or years) of wrangling around the nuclear power issue.  Iran has always been regarded as more threatening to the U.S.  They took military personnel hostage in the 80's and have been fist raising for years.  I think we need to get the hell out of an already bad situation but strategically it would not be the right move.  The Iranian government is not going to abide by UN sanctions and will continue to be a problem.  They are a terrorist threat and allow Al Qaida and other fanatics sanctuary in their country and hate the US because of their (Iranian) fundamentalist government.  It will be inevitable that we answer their threats with force.  Particularly, with the President that is in office who apparently never understood the phrase, "Sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me".  If he could have been upfront with the nation regarding the real reason behind the war with Iraq, which, in my opinion is we needed a military force based there to go to war with Iran.\nIt is unfortunate that the 9/11 attack has taken such a back seat because of all this maneuvering by our government. We never got Bin Laden's head on a stick and that was what the American public really wanted.  Now, there is a lot of derisive chatter that negates our loss to those terrorists that killed almost 3000 people. We don't run away and lick our wounds, although it might not be such a bad idea right now.  If the government doesn't give a crap about the wants of its citizenry, we need a new government.  Any way you look at it, we pay the price for the wars our government wages and the price gets higher everyday.  The initial move into Afghanistan was something I supported, but it seemed that it was a sideline to George W.'s real agenda.  He wanted Hussein and he had a good excuse to get him playing on the pain of his citizens.  I think he thinks of himself as some great general of the world, unfortunately, he hasn't really won any war.  A war is not won if insurgents and guerillas are still fighting.
