Default This sounds familiar.

Hey, I forget -- what happened the last time someone said we'd be greeted as liberators if we invaded some place?

Actually the worst legacy of the Shah is that he tried to turn Iranians into something that they were not = Westerners.

Nobody disagrees with this part.


The part that doesn't work is when it is postulated that the citizenry will embrace being bombed.

They won't.

Let the Iranians live with their tyrannical oligarchy. Eventually, and very soon, they'll have a nuclear bomb. The only condition we should bomb them is if they bombed one of our cities with a nuke.

Since we're absolutely positive that'll never happen, we shouldn't worry.

Right?

The majority of the youth in Iran doesn't like the mullahs. Simply leave Iran alone and at some point it is going to collapse from within because a growing number of the population wants change. It is not that different from what happened in the former Communist countries.

Right,a bomb being set off in the US,never.

Who wouldve thought some cave dwellers could hijack 4 planes simultaneously and kill 3000 people on US soil? I guess if someone is willing to go to any length to accomplish their goal then anything is possible,even if its evil.

The fact that Iran openly sponsors terrorists should be of no consequence either I suppose?

Their nuke program is about to be dealt a serious setback IMHO.

It’s great that people like to repeat the talking points when it comes to the factions in Iran. Not a single person here knows for certain that the population likes America! Not a single person here can safely say they know an actual Iranian and have been told that we would be revered by the masses if we once again topple a sovereign Nation! Just think about what our actions have done in Iraq and your telling me the population is banking and hoping for an American Air strike!? Really! Horse $@#%!
