    My apologies for judging. I agree that Iran is a terrorist state and will one day try something stupid, I just don't know what the right course of action is at this moment.

    We, the heroic Israelis, and our closest allies, the American patriots, will continue to hunt down and deliver justice to the Islamic Threat.

    Then we wait until they do something stupid, or, that something stupid is actually immenent and then we do something about it if it has the potential to harm us, or our interests. But this idea that we invade any country before it can even obtain threat level is ridiculous. We would have to invade almost the entire middle east ( which isnt possible anyways )


    Turkey or Pakistan might be a threat in the next 10-15 years as well. Should we invade them right now? I wouldnt think so.

    Wait until after Mid Term elections next November to post this poll. Today Democrats are busy to show their diplomatic equilibrium and they don't save rude words for Tel Aviv in these days.

    A part this, a war against Iran now is not exactly at the horizon, it remains a possibility, overall considering the advance in nuclear plans of that country. The point is that we cannot trust a theocracy with nukes ...

    Drones are not an "invasion".


    Im talking, INVASION!!!!! in just the same sense of the worse you are. Boots on the ground. Tanks, planes, the whole nine yards. Taking control of the country by force, just as we did in Iraq, and, it seems to be, what is being recomended for Iran.

    If Iran proves to be a credible threat, would you support a conventional invasion/war?

    A credible threat to the united states? Possibly. I consider a lot of countries "threats", but I wouldnt want to just say "F-IT!" and attack them without provocation.

    North Korea is one good example of this. North Korea spends a lot of time acting against our interests. They provide weapon exports to our known enemies. They are developing nuclear weapons, with the means to deliver them. Currently, they do not have a missle that can reach America with such a nuclear payload, but they are certainly on the way to developing them.

    But do I think we should invade north korea? Nope.

    Iran is a much bigger threat to our nation than NK. NK is isolated. Iran has proxies all over the world. Hezbollah is killing people in the name of Iran.

    Possibly, but regardless, both can possibly present a clear danger to our country. But they dont right now. Im just not on board with this pre-emptive strike buisness.

    You are correct, it's too early to make any decisions.

    Which brings us full circle back to the original topic. His polls totally suck ass, because they do not represent a clear reality. They instead showcase his hatred of muslims.

    The Iranian (government leaders) feel the same way about the Jews. This man is from Israel and has to feel like he's always on the tactical defense against Iran because they are threatening extermination of jews. I don't blame him for holding a grudge. Some Iranians publically deny the holocaust and call for the destruction of Israel.

    Israel is not our closest or oldest ally in the ME.. They are distinctive in being the longest and most expensive US foreign aid recipient.

    There are Jewish families who have lived in Iran 2500 years.

    Some of these polls that try to herd people into a particular enclosure are the works of sociopaths.

    Dangerous minds. You see them everywhere these days. FOX News is full of 'em.
