Not only would I support US/Israel, I'm hoping they start it.

Why don't you sign up and go fight yourself then?

I'm 14; otherwise I would certainly consider it. I do understand how hypocritical it is to support a war but have some convenient excuse for not fighting in it -- there's really no comeback possible to this one; Winston's right.


Clearly, I'm an awful person for suggesting overthrow of a belligerent theocracy that actively uses the US and its allies (particularly Israel and the UK) as 'the bad guy' in propaganda; the overthrow of which would also advance American interests in a whole host of neighboring countries. I would love to be able to remove the Supreme Leader in some non-violent way, but unfortunately the government is much too entrenched to be removed in any way other than foreign invasion.

Because foreign invasion to oust a pariah dictator worked so well in 2003.

Iraq is better off now than it was in, say, 2002, yes?

Assuming the U.S. and Israhell are the aggressors, Iran.

I'm pretty sure its reasonable to say the Israeli government, while not perfect, is preferable to the Iranian regime.

I'll go easier on him then. I used to believe the same when I was 14, as I'm sure many of you can remember Tongue

Perhaps I'll think like you do when I hit whatever age you're at now Tongue

Right. When I were 7 I deeply believed in tooth fairy. I guess I still believe this Tongue

I deeply believe in the tooth fairy and anyone who disagrees with me is an enemy (BTW, I misread your post at first, thought you'd said 71, and did a double take).

And, for me, opposing US intervention in Libya was one of my few moments of dovishness...

Yes, I've noticed that. It's very ideologically out-of-context for me, considering I support an invasion of Iran. (And before someone accuses me of reflexively opposing Obama, I have vocally supported, for instance, his Pakistan policy).
