1 yes no question it's the right thing to do.

2 yes they will but it's not the right thing to do.

3 no they wouldn't because it's the wrong thing to do.

4 no they wouldn't because they are overstretched as it is.

5 no they won't but they should.

4 no they wouldn't because they are overstretched as it is.

5 no they won't but they should.

Number 4

Iran is 4 times larger than Iraq and has a population of over 60 million. The terrain and climate are awful and they have far more military equipment than Iraq had by the time of the invasion. The US could not contain Iraq and meet other commitments without drafting - which I believe is off the cards, non?

Why does this poll imply that the talks in Iran are unilateral? It’s not only the US talking with the Iranians to get them to stop their developments.

There should be an option to vote for invasion only if the Iranians refuse to cooperate and refuse to stop developments, and military action is a last resort.

no he won't because it's the wrong thing to do
no, but only because of lack of manpower
no, but he should

I did not even know that the us was intending to do so

none of the options in the poll state otherwise

so i guess there is no choice hence according to this poll
the us has Definet plans on doing so.

hence

add more options

finish one thing first before complaining about the next

Thats because Bush doesnt know the meaning of that word, possibly...

Strange that the only country ever to use Nukes, is paranoid about anyone else developing them, and wont let the UN inspect (or stop development of) their own.

Even stranger that they are quite happy to put anyone in charge of that button (including someone suffering from Senile Dementia in the 80's).

The excuse that "Any Madman" can be put in charge of them just doesnt wash, when most of the world already think a madman is in charge of the largest collection of these weapons.

How many times have the EU and Iran come to an agreement that is satisfactory to the UN and then the USA have blocked it so far this year?

This brings us back to the start each time... so making the situation, like everything else in the Middle East the US touches at the moment, worse.

As i said, as the only country that actually refuses to allow inspections (except Israel)... as far as im concerned, USA are the outlaw state here, not Iran.

The USA have enough to blow the entire planet apart 10 times over and are continuing to develop them.

Iran havent got 1 nuke..

The USA refuses to allow the relevant UN agency to inspect any of their facilities, Iran is open to inspection.

Good point. When was last time we used nukes? What's the point of the US getting inspected? Cause everyone else does? We already admit we've got a shitload.

Also Bush is not a madman, he's an idiot without a clue.

Yeah your probably right we shouldn’t develop any more nukes because why would the most powerful country in the world take any measures to protect itself. Hell I guess we should just disband the whole damn arm while we’re at it. :dry:

You have a peculiarly rose tinted view of US foreign policy. Is this purely on current performance or is it back-dated at all?

The simple fact is that powers (good or bad) don't like new boys on the block. No one liked it when China, Israel, India and Pakistan went nuclear. We have learned to live with it. This is 1930s science, the genie will not stay in the bottle. North Korea almost certainly has gone nuclear and my view is that Iran is there also (if perhaps still to assemble the bits). We will have to learn to live with this also and ensure that the neceassry weights and measures are in place to effectively create a stalemate in the region. The Iranians will not unlearn the science they have acquired.

You are right though, the UN and the EU are the main players in the Iranian negotiations whereas the US is the main player in N. Korea. I do not see the US invading either unless there was a genuine threat of aggression. Such an action would be huge, messy and would result in a lot of deaths and the total disruption of the oil supply from that region if Iran were to be invaded. This would not make good business sense and whilst I have doubts about GW I do not believe he is anti-business.

@Busyman..

1/ USA is the only country EVER to use the Atom bomb.

2/ UK, France, India and Pakistan all admit they have Nukes and allow UN inspections. Why should anyone else if the biggest player wont do that?

@ Hank

The USA spends more on Defence than the next 5 largest spenders put together. Thats your business, you want to keep the Arms companies alive and let your people die because of a lack of basic Universal Health Care (unlike those countries that you have invaded such as Iraq and Grenada) then i have nothing against that.

However, to my mind both Grenada and Iraq showed more care for their own people than the USA does... and that includes the poltical disappearances and murders in the time of Hussain.

At least they could get Health Treatment when they were ill.

They had less malnutition before the USA invaded (nearly doubled since the invasion, really shows you care)

When i think of all the kids that die, just to keep the shareholders of American Arms Companies rich... well, it sickens me.

Is it only five? I am sure I saw a report that said this had risen to the next 20 as most of Europe has cut Defence spending following the nasty outbreak of peace on the Russian front.

However, as you say, taxes can only go so far - it is a choice between schools and tanks (unless one introduces conscription for 5 years olds and have school tanks :)

Using data from the National Center for Health Statistics and the World Health Organization, child injury death rates in the US were compared to those of Canada, England and Wales, France, Netherlands, and Norway. Except for the 1981 Canadian figure, overall US childhood injury mortality was greater than childhood injury mortality rates of all countries studied during each year. Injury mortality steadily declined in most other countries, whereas the US rate appears to be increasing.

Saddam was an evil man and killed a lot of people - particularly in his wars against Iran, the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs. If the Iraqi strategy was going to be successful we had to bring stability and peace quickly - we have not. A lot of innocent civilians have died as a result of this war. A lot of innocents have also died due to the looting of hospitals and destruction of sanitation facilities. The infant mortality rate in Iraq is awful. There are a lot of Iraqis who hated Saddam who now have little regard for us also - they were there for the winning over when we went in. The troubles of the Iraqi people have not lessened since Saddam fell 20 months ago they are simply different.

To return to the topic, it is experiences like this that will determine whether attempting something like Iran is practical. For starters I can't see an Iraqi government agreeing to another war with Iran from its territory.

the difference is in iraq saddam said "do what we say or i'll kill you", in america "do what we say or bin laden will kill you" or "not doing what we say is unpatriotic, asking why means you're a traitor".

Number 4

Iran is 4 times larger than Iraq and has a population of over 60 million. The terrain and climate are awful and they have far more military equipment than Iraq had by the time of the invasion. The US could not contain Iraq and meet other commitments without drafting - which I believe is off the cards, non?
Damnit I was gonna say that. :angry:

But really, the US aint got the manpower or the resources to invade another peaceful country. We dont have nearly enough troops in Iraq and they are being killed left and right. Afganstain is a complete mess. Now Iran? Well they do got alot of oil (prime motivation of course) but the people of Iran wont let America rule their country.

Regardless of my logic there is something called context and reading comprehension. Even if I don't believe in something, I can still glean where someone is coming from.
It must be a lost art, you know, comprehension.

Presumably those Americans who hate all Muslims or those whom they deem even worse (the French) are also terrorists. Then again, perhaps not. :) If this definition were to be applied, most of Fox New's staff would need to be taken in for questioning.

Whilst it is true that a particular terrorist may have hate for all the population of whatever country they are at war with, it does not follow that somebody who hates everybody from a particular country is a terrorist. Someone given to extreme and irrational generalisations perhaps - but not necessarily a terrorist.

If you think Bush won just because of a Bin Laden tape then haven't a clue.

Actually the 3/4 figure you use is 3/4 of the "known" or "suspected" leaders at the time of 911.... not 3/4 of AQ. and certainly not 3/4 of todays AQ. Fact is we don't know how many AQ members exist or if those leaders have been replaced, but many conservative estimates from intelligence communities worldwide have suggested the membership of active and potentially active operatives is between 15 and 20 thousand. That's not to say that they are all at this moment planting bombs. Like every organisation different people would have different functions. from fundraising, recruitment, training to actual perpatrators etc. etc.

We’ve taken steps to protect ourselves and they are working. As hard as it is for you liberals to admit the steps we put in place are working. We aren’t invincible but the only attack OBL was able to mount before the election was a video. We have work to do but we have come a long way.

Security on the Mexican boarder is something that I’d like to see strengthened.

This coming from the person who didn’t even know that WTC was attacked before 9/11. That is what’s laughable.

again you are ignoring the possibility that we weren't attacked before the election....because they just didn't plan to. to say it's because they are unable to is very dangerous thinking. It only takes ONE person to carry out an attack. Here in the USA that person doesn't even have to import weapons as they are freely available thanks to our NRA and other such groups. Heck a terrorist would know how to make explosives from stuff in any hardware store.

My opinion is that they didn't have to attack because the fear was already there...and the point of terrorism is to create fear.

OBL said in his video that he will bankrupt the USA. so even if we have made it harder for him, he is adapting.

Remember that the 1st WTC attack came 10 years before the 2nd, and its "International News" to Dan...

I know i cant name many outside the UK that are current, even though i see them on the news all the time... never mind over 10 years ago.

Its laughable that even now, you appear to think that people in the UK give a monkeys about what happens in the USA as a rule, we dont. Just like most Americans dont care or know about what happens in the UK or the rest of Europe.

You do realise that you only consist of 6% of the worlds population, dont you?

Out of this 6%, less than half care enough about who runs your own country enough to actually vote.

Its almost unbelievable that you think your security is good, when they dont even have to smuggle the equipment into the USA... they just goto WalMart.

As Strangelove said can you tell me any of the terrorist attacks we have had in the UK? :unsure:

Strange and Dan the thing that you are missing is that I don’t know everything that’s going on in the world affairs like you two pretend to. I’ve never once said anything negative or positive about Tony Blair and the British government.

And to say that people in the U.K. don’t care what goes on in the U.S. is absolutely absurd. You are from the U.K and you sure seem to take and interest. And if no one cares what happens here then why did Bush make the cover of magazines in the U.K the day after the election? And also why did so many people from over there stay up to watch the results?

I think they are saying they don't care about every little thing that goes on in the USA ( what's news to us isn't to them)
This isn't to be confused with them caring about what the US is doing outside the US. and the world interest in this election was purely down to what the US is doing in the world.

Not just the US has condemned the Ukrainian election though.

It has been renounced worldwide as a set up.

Hank,

Whilst it is wonderful that there have not been any major attacks in the US this is not entirely surprising (presumably the anthrax thing was not them?).

AQ is at loggergeads with much of the world. Since 9/11 it has attacked in Spain, Morocco, Turkey, Algeria, Indonesia, as well as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kenya, Chechnya, Russia, Eygpt and Iraq. They have been busy boys. They have flexed their muscle and demonstrated there is hardly a part of the world they cannot reach. They have killed thousands since 9/11. If the judge of the war on terror is purely that the US mainland is not attacked then we are in partnership with the wrong ally. AQ is far from beaten and this is going to be a long haul with a lot more bloodshed. Osama is not a dictator or even interested in political power. He might be mad in our eyes but he is a religious and humble man. He has already decentralised AQ control so that his death or capture means little to organisation. The video with him looking ethereal dressed in gold robes suggest he already has an eye to the next world. His capture and removal to the US is probably the one thing that would result in another attack on the US mainland. I believe they were rather hoping he would be flattened in Tora Bora with nothing to mark he ever existed.

The situation in the Ukraine is regrettable but it is nice to see GW rooting for a Liberal. :)

I don't think N. Korea is a possible target for invasion because it has close ties with China and any military action against it could invoke a serious problem. Also it is suspected that N. Korea already has nuclear weapons, so a diplomatic solution would be more likely because they have the ability to defend themselves.
just an opinion :)
