Well in that case you will spend much of your time talking to yourself. It doesn't hurt to make at least a little effort.

This is the kind of thinking that scares me about Bush. While I do support Bush, I am afraid that he will move into Iran (or Syria). However, IMO, that would severly hurt the Republican cause in America.

I think there is some confusion here. You quoted some other guy who was talking in a dialect and told him you wanted to blow his head off. That's what I said was over the top. Maybe you misquoted him too?

I think the US government can't afford another war. Not if he maintains current tax cutting policies. Bush said he had no plans for this before the election. Instead he plans to deal with them through a policy of 'positive engagement' (basically offering them bribes if the play ball and threatening them with sanctions if they don't).

All the same i do think the problems Iran presents do need confronting - even if that meant if negotiations failed that some kind of military response was needed. However I couldn't support any kind of all out war - such as took place in Iraq. The idea of an American presence in Iran really would be an abhoration to a great many muslims around the world. But if negotiations did fail - then air strikes certainly should be considered as an option. They estimate that it will be about 18 months before Iran succeeds in producing their first nuclear weapons - so what ever Bush's (and the world's) response is, it would have to be within that time frame.

I doubt the US will invade any other country until Iraq is quiet or they've been forced out. As soon as Blair gets voted out they'll lose another source of man power for any futher invasions.

Hardly. I just think that maybe Iran is where one of the bigger dangers are at this time. Though culturally it would be almost impossible to consider the idea of putting anyone in on the ground there - as this would almost certainly confirm in the minds of the entire Arab world that this very much was a war on Islam. Another war in in the Mid East - culminating this time in an invasion of Iran would begin to look very much to some people like Hitler's grand tour of Europe in the 1940's - so how you would get round that would be extremely interesting to learn. Of course after they do get the bomb your options are very much more limited because they could use it to hit Israel or in time perhaps even the US itself. (Their next generation of rockets will almost certainly have this capacity). Of course the US is unlikely to launch a genuine war against any country that did possess WMDs (particularly nuclear) because these dangers really would be too great. The only possible military response would be a premptive nuclear strike - but I doubt that would happen either because this would automatically give those who planned and carried out such an attack the status of monsters, in a similar league to Stalin, and the Nazis in Germany and so on. So what do you do? If in 18 months the Iranians build their bomb - what response should you have to this? As I said, whatever happens must happen within that time frame.

In any case its all kind of empty speculation - Bush already said he doesn't plan to do too much. It was Kerry who said he was going to bomb them. But with him out of the picture the Iranians probably have a green light to do whatever they want. Oddly in the poll that was conducted before the election of all of the other countries in the world and of who they would vote for if they could vote in the US elections, only Iran and Russia chose George W. Bush. Make of that what you will.

violat3, why do you assume we will have another military conflict under Bush? If we did, it would be for a good reason.

i.e. North Korea invades South Korea.
China invades Taiwan.
Iran continues its Nuclear Development.
France, just because they're French.

Raid,

First of all just kidding, seeing as how we discussed air strikes before.

Second, you didnt mention all of the other countries that endorsed Kerry.. not such a hot list either. make of that what you will

3rd. Your hitler analogies are getting to be not only tiresome but a little offensive. Hitlers grand tour wasnt about liberation and spreading freedom. (although some would argue that iraq isnt either (i personally think it is) but regardless the analogy is a twisted point of view)

4th. The US went into Iraq thinking it had wmd's (as i explained before, the ammount of prep and training that went into it... we thought they were there.) So saying that we wouldnt invade because there actualy are wmd's is simply not valid.

And lastly there havent been 13 failed resolutions to Iran or North Korea. The international talks havent yet broken down either. As far as offering them bribes... we offered to give them the nuclear tech to make energy not weapons grade, and then some money for relief aid... I guess you could call that a bribe...
