The thing about the Middle East in my opinion, is there is not enough instability and power vacuums.

Yes, allowing the Iranians to get nukes is too risky.

A US strike on the Iranian nuclear weapons programs sounds like an excellent and legally legitimate reason for Iran to pursue nuclear weapons. Escalating to war also sounds like a decent reason for our partners to end their sanctions, a good way for Iran to gain international sympathy, and a major popularity booster for Iran in the rest of the Middle East.

Definitely not. I suppose that in the extreme scenario where Iran is actually working on a bomb and negotiations have fallen through I might support it, but there's no way I would in the current environment.

I mean, we're bound to do it at some point, or if not, someone else will. At least if we beat everyone else to it, we can make money on it--oil, movie rights, etc.

This is crazy.  We all see what happened in Iraq...we don't want that to happen again.  Imagine all the money going down the drain, fighting yet another war in the Middle East - and imagine the tax increases that would be needed to pay for it (sorry, wars in the Middle East don't pay for themselves, just like tax cuts).

About as much as I support sending another Bush to the White House.

Seriously bro, Israel is the only democratic country in that neck of the woods. Iran is a Islamist dictatorship. I'd only strike if we were in a formally declared war with Iran or their ISIS allies.

^^^

Iran, if anything, should develop the capability to quickly assemble a nuclear weapon solely as a deterrent against further aggression against them because all the West does is violate their sovereignty and kill thousands of Iranians. Whether it was the occupation of Iran in WWII, the installation of a brutal dictator for oil interest, support for Saddam's war against them that killed 500K (or was it a million?) including with chemical weapons, or our current paranoid sanctions against them, Iran has literally every right to be fearful of further Western interference.

I hate to sound like Snowstalker here, but the Western-centric view of Iran that is so prevelent on this forum and moreso in broader society is unbelieveable.

Our treatment of Iran led to the rise of the current Islamic regime, so what the hell do you people think will be different this time?

Definitely not. I find it strange that the hawks continue to hype up the Iran thing after the rise of ISIS.

The idiotic hawks think we can fight Assad, Iran, ISIS, and al Nusra at the same time.
