Is War With Iran Our Best Option?

Anyone who thinks war is the best option should be sent to the frontline with a bag of conkers.

Wouldn’t an attack cause ordinary Iranians to rally behind the regime? Perhaps, but military losses have also served to undermine regimes, including the Greek and Argentine juntas, the Russian czar and the Russian communists.

Biggest red flag right there

Here’s a little tip for you future cannon fodder: if your commander’s plan ever includes the line, “…and then the people will rise up and join us,” you get out of there any way you can, because you’re going to be slaughtered.

There's some ridiculous leaps of logic in the article, yes.

He layed out the case pretty good. I agree with him, if war is the only option to stop the Iranian nuclear program, which seems to be the case, we shouldn't hesitate.

Come on, the case laid out is ridiculous.

Chickenhawks kill a lot of people too. And we've got a great deal of them at the moment.

These neocons need to learn that Iran =/= Iraq by a LONG shot. Iraq was mostly flat terrain, bordering three of our allies with numerous areas for re-supply, located close enough to the Persian Gulf to allow missile and airstrikes on a regular basis. Iran is a whole other world compared to that. It has mountains and plateaus popping up instantly from the Persian Gulf, Tehran itself is nestled in a mountain range far away from any area where the US and her allies could stage an invasion, and has a varied terrain of desert, forests, scrub land, and the like.

Drumming up support for a war that'll finally break the US, how delightful.

Putting boots on the ground in Iran would be a disaster.

Care to backup that claim?

[Saiwania]

One reason why Iran can't be easily invaded now is because Russia is fixing to sell both the S-300 and S-400 SAM systems to them.

[Iidoomaan]

We need to LEAVE the middle-east entirely. That is our best option.

That's the genocide option,

you're right. first we have to kick out the jews. then we can leave the middle east.

Syria - and a million other examples.

Invading Iran would destabilize a regional power who is combating ISIS and lead to another war we don't and trillions of more dollars in debt.

[Republic of Coldwater]

Fuck no.

We would be much better allowing free trade with Iran, and just see Iran completely falter as their populace changes their opinion on the west.

[The Lone Alliance]

Fuck no.

We would be much better allowing free trade with Iran, and just see Iran completely falter as their populace changes their opinion on the west.

Funny enough the Iran populace is rather neutral to the west. The sanctions only make them hate the west more simply from the effects of it.

Really it's almost like certain people want Iran to be an enemy

Uh huh...
So no evidence then.

It's because Iran refuses to be a subject of the west

so you think an invasion of iran will cause THE PEOPLE! to heroically overthrow their oppressors?

As he mentioned military defeat has undermined the support of regimes in the past. No one knows what the effects might be. There is no leap of logic here.

[Benian Republic]

No the US should not go to war with Iran for countless reasons one is that they are still helping HAMAS.

[The Nuclear Fist]

The only ones who would really stand to benefit from that would be Israel. Let the Israelis do their own bidding.

The instances listed were genuinely unpopular regimes in the process of collapsing in the first place. Anyone who would bother to know the history would know such. This guy, on the other hand, just goes "well it worked these times so it'll work for us, right?" That ain't how you decide foreign policy.

You know, Australia's fought side by side with America in almost every conflict since World War 2, with Grenada being the only one we weren't in. This is a step too far. Obviously, if the Republicans take power in America, they will feel right at home with our PM, but in a year or two, he'll be gone. The Republicans, if they follow through with what I hope is just rhetoric and not serious, will cause World War Three and possibly the end of Western Civilization or even civilization itself. That we cannot allow. If there is anything close to Satanists, it's the Republicans and Likud.

So obviously, I am very much opposed to this as an Australian, and as a human being.
