    I think there are many in the US military industrial complex that are eager for a war with Iran.
    Trump is one of the few American leaders that prefers some kind of peace.

    Either way Iran will eventually strike Israel unless Iran is destroyed. When an if that happens another Muslim state will eventually strike Israel.

    IMO, Israel should just shut up and wait for the first strike.
    It will be the appropriate reward for at least 75 years of asinine foreign policy.

    You will be aware that Israel has killed hundreds of Iranians over the past few years. I am not aware of Iran killing any Israelis. Israel squeals the victim and acts the ever worst aggressor always condoned by the US with its abundance of Muslim hating CZ's. The US has been destroying the ME since the Iraq war working to complete 'Clean Break' for Israel. Iran is the one still left for you to destroy. How many deaths will the people of the US have on their conscience when they at last find their way to court.

    Trump doesn't want a war with Iran at the moment because despite your known advantage you would be bringing home plane loads of American body bags. Many people think if you try, it will go on for more than one generation - possibly ww3. One way or another - ignoring climate change or the continuous desire to destroy human beings, the US is intent on destroying this world.

    Trump himself would probably give the Thumbs up the night of re-election if that happens.

    IOW, you could not care less about Iran.
    Your focus is DP politics.

    I care about the world. I care about people who are in continual war because they believe no one can touch them so they create situations where millions of people are killed and made homeless for them to leave to die. That is how I see the current US. Many people in the US fight against it. Some support it. I have not been to DP in years. Are you not now a moderator. Lay off the ignorant personal attacks.

    What happened to you. Got banned from DP?

    Totalitarian states are the great killers. The US can't hold a candle to them in that department.

    "… from 1900 to 1987 governments MURDERED almost *170* MILLION people ... far exceeds the 34.4 million battle deaths ... from all...wars fought during the same period.... democratic governments were responsible for only about one percent of the twentieth century's death toll from democide...." The Atlantic Monthly, "The World In Numbers," "Murder By The State," Vol. 292 NO. #4, 11/20. (emphasis mine)

    The Atlantic's source: "Rummels books on the subject - particularly "Death By Government" (1994) and "Statistics of Democide" (1997).

    Note also that war is not the great killer of human beings. The Gold for mass slaughter goes to Big Bad Government when it is secure enough to do what it wants without opposition.

    I did not say that you do not care about the world. Read more carefully. And avoid personal attacks. I assume this one was a misunderstanding. :)

    The Persians are an ancient people who have added much to civilization. Alexander the Great had good reason for admiring them. Like every other civilization that rose to great heights before the barbarians of Europe did, it fell into torpor. Now, like India and China, it has awakened. Note that the first woman to win the Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize of mathematics, was an Iranian, Mariam Mirzakhani. This country has enormous potential.


    People in the West are almost completely ignorant of the day to day reality of Iranian life. Occasionally you read a book, like Shirin Ebadi's Iran Awakening which gives you some idea of the complexities of modern Iran, but you never get that in the press, not even in the specialized political press.
    No one can predict the future but I would bet on Iran being a fully modern democracy within a few decades, perhaps with a special place for Islam, the way the Roman Catholic church had a special place in Ireland and Spain for many years. However this happens, it will happen because Iranians want it to happen, not because of some outside force.

    Goog. I'm hoping Iran goes for it. The world will be a better place with the people of Iran free from the Muslim gangsters.

    Comparing the culture of Iran to the culture and technology of Israel is something only an ignorant fool would dream of. Israel is light years ahead of Iran.

    "Biblical prophecy" is unmitigated fantasy and nonsense. Totally without even the slightest basis in fact, evidence, or logic. Now, if you want to adhere to fantasies in your personal life, then go right ahead. It's none of my business. But when you insist on inserting your superstitions and myths into US foreign policy, then I have every right to savage your asinine religious beliefs. I can only commend you for being so honest about your religious extremism. Most pro-Israeli types try to conceal their religious motives beneath of a thin veil of pragmatic sophistry. Not you though. You're right up front about the religious zealotry that guides your foreign policy ideology.

    Nope, they're both backwards murderous misogynistic tribal cults.

    The has been a good deal of propaganda posted on this thread about how great Iran supposedly
    is. If you want to learn about the real Iran go to http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/nov/08/
    iran-accused-torturing-blogger-death. You will read about the death of Sattar Beheshti in police
    custody. Not an unusual event in Iran. Amnesty International has reported that the Iranian
    government killed 26 protestors in 2018 and arrested over 7,000, of whom at least 9 died under
    questionable circumstances while in police custody. Perhaps the best known episode of someone
    dying in Iranian custody was the death by torture of Zahra Kazemi, who had joint Iranian and
    Canadian citizenship (http://rsf.org/en/news/zahra-kazemis-killers-still-unpunished-15-years-
    after-her-death-custody). She was a photo-journalist and had the Canadians not pursued the
    incident so virgorously the Iranians would have successfully concealed her death by torture from the World. Reporters Without Borders ranked Iran 164th out of 180 countries in its 2018 World
    Press Freedom Index. Most people would regard freedom of the press an important quality in
    deciding the level of civilization in a country. If Iran is such a wonderful place, why do they have
    the highest per capita execution rate in the World? Wikipedia says Iran executed 507 people in
    2018 (the United States, with four times the population, executed 25 in 2018).
