I don’t want to become embroiled in another mid-east conflict either. However, Iran could not have made their intentions to harm us (they did in Iraq) and Israel any clearer. We can either deal with it now or deal with it later after they use a nuclear weapon(s) against us or Israel. They have stated their intentions very clearly. The path is now clear for Israel to target their #1 aggressor - Iran. Much of the Arab world will cheer.

Is it dangerous because of the reaction it may bring? Yes. Is it more dangerous to kick the can again with diplomacy and aircraft full of cash? Yes.

We can argue our involvement and boots on the ground and likely agree that we do not want that, but the biggest threat in the Middle East is Iran and if they are not dealt with there will be a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. If it were up to me we would not only tear up the agreement with Iran..... we would destroy their military as we should have when they supplied IED’s to target our soldiers in Iraq. There is always risks, but I have NO doubt in my mind that there is one state in the world that would use nuclear weapons almost immediately - Iran.

This Neville Chamberlain agreement for “peace in our time” that the EU and last administration entered into is a farce. Confront them now before they obtain nuclear weapons.

They made it clear with the attack on our Embassy in Tehran as well as the Marine barracks in Beirut. Also worth remembering the largest terror attack in our hemisphere pre 9/11 was pulled off by Iran in Argentina, a Jewish center, Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina. They have reach.

There is only one state that has ACTUALLY used nukes.....us.

There is absolutely no power MORE ubiquitous in the Middle East than....us.

There seems to be no limit to how much blood and treasure the chickenhawks want to throw away in the Middle East.

To make the world as “safe” as you seem to want to make it would require the U.S. to conquer (or set up puppet-governments) everywhere. Hell, part of the reason we can’t get Europeans of their fat asses (and contributing significantly to their own defense) is the fact that we subsidize their security with our military....enough!
