[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given what Iran has consistently claimed to want to do, yes.

Go study up OP, did you just crawl out of a cave for 100 years? [/quote]

More likely crawled out of an undergrad program from Oberlin or W&M 😆[/quote]

LOL. 
I think OP is very young and very naive.  She needs to do a little dive into the history of Iran.  She doesn't need to go too far back... She can start with the 1979 hostage crisis.

Oh yes, i made Christmas cards in elementary supposedly "to send to the hostages."

You must support Israel. Only those guys think pulling up stuff from 50 years ago should be used to drive U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century.

DP.

How ‘bout Iran’s support for repeated attacks on US forces in Iraq over the last 15+ years?

How many Americans need to die before you’re convinced that the Iranian government is our enemy?[/quote]

The US created a coup and installed a dictator, The Shah.   This brutal dictator killed thousands of innocent Iranians during his reign until the revolution in 1979.   You have to wonder what the country would be like if they were able to keep the democratically elected leader.  Less violence, more freedom.  But the US didn’t care.  Its decision revolved around oil.     US can stay out of everyone’s business and focus on US problems.  [/quote]

PP here.

All true and all totally irrelevant. Today’s Iranian government presents a clear threat to America and Americans.

If they want an apology for Cold War meddling, fine. “Death to America” not fine.

DP no Iran’s government does not represent any threat to the US. You can say it but it is not true. Maybe Israel see Iran as a regional arrival but that’s about it.

Seriously your premise is preposterous. [/quote]

Preposterous?

Every single President (D and R) for the last 55 years agrees that Iran presents a substantial threat to US security.

As does every threat analysis that I’m aware of.

As does the evidence: Iran indisputably sponsored (and perhaps directed) multiple attacks on US troops in Iraq.

Literally every single shred of available evidence confirms that Iran presents a threat to the US.

There’s certainly room to argue about how to best address this threat (Obama diplomacy vs. Trumpian aggression), but pretending that the threat doesn’t exist is foolish and/or disingenuous.[/quote]

And the US indisputably sponsored attacks on Iran just weeks ago.  And that was right before Trump dropped a bomb that someone is lying about what the results were from this mega bomb.

I just don’t get how Iran is a threat to the US.   We are a big bully nation with tons of weapons and military.  And if we leave the Middle East there will be an even lesser threat. [/quote]
Tell me you are uneducated, well, you just did. You have no clue about how geopolitics and economic dominance works. You are ignorant. We need to control the Middle East as it is the source of energy for much of the world. If we control it, we control the world. This is just one part of the puzzle of dominance.
Why don't you read a book? I belong to the strongest Empire in the world, but it is declining rapidly. But, I'd rather be Cesar than the barbarian, that is just pragmatism. For all your shrieking on dcum, you are totally useless in any action yet you enjoy the high and mighty right to criticize the U.S. Try that in Iran.[/quote]
