re: The level of naivety regarding the Iranian conflict is disturbing

According to MiC propaganda, sure.

If you'd like to take a trip there, I'll gladly pay for the trip there. You gotta stay for 12 months minimum and live among the regular population. No staying in elitist hotels. I'll buy a oneway ticket to Iran and if needed then buy a oneway ticket back to Alaska. You can report back what you find about your beloved "persians".

What I think about Israel is very relevant

---

No it isn't. It has NOTHING to do with the nature of Islamic terrorism

quote:

---

They're the only nuclear power in the region and they have zero interest in decreasing nuclear tensions

---

This is a stupid statement. Israel has never been an agressor. They don't attack civilians on purpose. They don't constantly claim that are trying to eradicate a sworn enemy even though said sworn enemy attacks them constantly

And even if what you said is true, that doesn't change the nature of Islamic, fundamentalist terrorism

quote:

---

It's time now to attack and invade China. They're the last great enemy of the United States and have taken steps to subvert our way of life now for decades

---

Are they a state sponsor of terrorism? Not that I am aware of. It would be counterproductive to their goals. They also support the American way of life economically in some ways. We are economically intertwined with them and our values align with them in some ways. It is a complicated relationship.

Our relationship with Islamic terrorism is not complicated or nuanced. It is extremely simple. Any nations that sponsor those entities need to be addressed with impunity

we know this because you've made the exact same argument for war against Iran that you've made against Iraq

I addressed this in the OP

quote:

---

In my lifetime, not one single American serviceman has died to protect my right to "speak out against foreign conflict". Not one

If you truly believe this, then you are not only naive and uneducated but you can't be reasoned with on this topic

quote:

---

Now plenty have died to improve the profit margins of defense contractors

---

False dichotomy

quote:

---

none have died for my freedoms

---

Completely, totally false and this has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism

quote:

---

You're getting your war

---

Strawman

quote:

---

you've got alot of opinion in all that

---

wrong

quote:

---

you've made the exact same argument Israel and the Bush administration made for war after 9/11

---

That doesn't mean it's false

Then you admit that we have enemies thus agreeing with the OP but use a horrible analogy in an attempt to break the current situation with Iran

So you bowed up thinking you were taking down the OP and didn't address the fact in the OP. Good job

This is utterly retarded.

quote:

Why do we have to intervene? Why can’t Israel handle business?

---

Because Israel wants regime change and I'm not sure you can do that without subduing a population. You have to have troops for that. Well not only would the Iranian people not tolerate a Jewish military invasion, but the entirety of the Muslim world wouldn't tolerate it either. Not one single Israeli boot (that we know of) will be on Iranian sand.

That's where the United States comes in.

Israel didn't attack Iran "hoping" the United States would help. They attacked Iran knowing the United States would help.

Israel will get what it wants. The OP can breathe easy, he and his like will get what they want as well.

We aren't Iran's neighbor or even in their region. That's Israel's problem not ours. Its not hard to understand. Same can be said for Russia and Ukraine. Russia is Europe's problem not ours.

This is where I see us getting involved eventually as well

Correct

quote:

I didn't say let our guard down

But I know this much. I don't go to sleep every night in fear that Iran is going to kill me.

---

And you shouldn't.... there is no reason to.

I would say the Israeli's have presented us with a golden opportunity.

They MAY pull it off all on their own. We just need to not get in their way.
