I'm myself against a war 100%, But the idiot regime gives no proper answer to the diplomatic ways, And it makes the situation 100 times harder.
As an Ex Soldier so am i Evanesense war is no good,But needed at certain times,and what you have said is 100% correct,IRAN will, not co-operate with Diplomacy full stop.
When IRAN openly says it wants to wipe Israel from the face of the earth something is wrong in their teachings,for me personally we have been talking far too long and its time for the real ACTION and we will have to accept the consequences,rather that today than a NUKE on Israel in 2 years time,like i said before Bomb,Bomb,Bomb,nuff said.
I think there are better ways than war to resolve this conflict.
I also think it's very hypocritical when some of the nations opposing Iran have nuclear weapons themselves.
Do a deal with them - They stop their nuclear program, and everyone else do the same and dismantle their weapons.
Yea, I am dreaming... but its nice to imagine the world with common sense.
Agreed, at least on the "take a third option" bit, though for differing reasons.
Pragmatically, a ground war will cripple every power involved. Resource-wise, eh. Just about every first-world power can put a MOAB down an air vent and minimize collateral. Blowing a place to Hell and back will not detonate any nuclear threats they may actually already have, but...
It's a war that would tear everyone who went in for cleanup into broken shells of men. We're talking about people that have a few million children in their militia. Their militia that focuses on religious policing and enticing said kids to join with a delicacy-a-night as payment for "services" rendered.
God forbid a nuclear containment site actually get hit in a way that lets it seep into the surrounding area. I have a hunch they'd defend the spill iteslf just for the "the invaders are war criminals" angle they could play to their own people.
Great, trying to think of a reasonable solution gave me a Heinlein: "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms."
I do fail to see how universal disarmament would do a lick of good, however. I mean, think about it for a bit. If that big, Hulk-y hadn't shown up at the sandbox and stolen your pail when you were a kid, would you have stopped digging willingly? Or would you be admiring the Great Wall in person right now?
