Should we be ok watching a Tiananmen Square massacre incident happening without taking action? A guided bomb to stop it without boots on the ground would be good, no?

What do you call bombing a sovereign country? When the Japanese did it to us, what did we call it? When Al Qaeda flew planes into our buildings, what did we call it? There were no boots on the ground in those situations. It floors me how we can somehow think bombing another country isn't an act of war that will inevitably lead to escalation.

Unless, of course, the goal is escalation. Which IMO is the plan and has been for a very long time. We just haven't been able to goad Iran into it, nor get the American people behind an invasion. Especially after the false weapons of mass destruction fiasco and the 20-plus years in the Middle East.

Haven't been able to goad Iran into what? If bunker busting their entire nuclear program didn't provoke them into a fight with us, they ain't coming.

You folks still pretending Iran is on our level and believes they can fight with us need to wake up.

Which is why we've switched from "gotta get those terrorists" to "gotta help those poor people with their freedom."

I guess they're figuring that ploy worked before on the ignorant, maybe it'll work again.

We aren't switching to anything. There will be no boots on the ground in Iran.

I hope not, but regime change remains the goal. Should be interesting to see what our next move brings.

Less than 30% (of Iranians) are moslems. Over the last several years they have converted to Christianity, Judaism or Zoroastrianism in droves.

He’s enabling the Iranian people to fight. Giving the people the confidence to finally get their country back.

He’s not going to war with Iran.

Name one example of Iranian funded terrorism in the United States.

And spare me references to 1979. Of course the Embassy and the hostage situation was an abomination. But it was also 50 years ago.

No, I don’t support meddling in Iran’s internal politics and you shouldn’t either.

Instead of Iran, the focus should be on Minneapolis.
