Partisan politics aside, I already know what jpotts and rickamaven are going to say, what is your take on the Iranian situation?

We went to war in Iraq supposedly because the people were crying for freedon and we beleived they had weapons of mass destruction. Based on what I have seen in the media the people if Iraq have not exactly embraced freedom and instead choose to wage a religious civil war that our troops now referee. As far as the WMD's, well the intelligence may or may not have been right. There was definitely some evidence of the begining stages and for sure a chemical weapons program.

Iranians are protesting and dying in the streets every day and they have been attempting to start a nuclear program.

I am not advocating starting another war on foreign soil but I am curious as to the groups opinion.

I thought we went to war in Iraq to prevent future terrorist attacks like 9/11, part of the global war on terror, or whatever it's called now. I think President Obama is doing the correct thing in staying out of Iran election thing, let the Iranians figure it out.

You don't think the U.S. should go to war with Iran over its election results, do you?

So, you "know" what it is that I'm going to say, eh?

And please, do tell: what am I going to say?

His Excellency Barack (Idi Amin) Hussein (boy whiner) Obama blaa, blaa, blaa.

Sometimes I wonder if your cigar related posts have this same stupid line in them.

Actually, I sometimes alternate between His Excellency Barack (Idi Amin) Hussein (boy whiner) Obama and Dear Leader.

So you're wrong, again.

here's a thought:

If we began carpet bombing Iran, then they could put aside thier long-standing fued with Iraq, possibly even unite with the Iraqui's in their hate of the U.S., thus bringing peace to that part of the Mid-East.

We can't verify that the opposition could have won. This is for the Iranians to decide, the people know we're with them..

^ true... but it is interesting how in several cities there were more votes cast than the population of the cities......

I seriously doubt we're going to take any kind of military action unless something drastic changes soon. We've not only got Iraq and Afghanistan to contend with, Obama is trying to squelch the idea that the U.S. is anti-Muslim. Sending troops into Iran over an entirely (at this point) domestic squabble over elections would be a fiasco. Besides, say we were to enter, storm the castle (so to speak) and either kill or imprison Ahmadudeisfarkingcrazy. What then, install a new leader? Hello? Shah of Iran ring a bell?

The most the U.S. can do and hope to avoid a ginormous nightmare is, if concrete proof of fraud is developed (it will probably take something more than the current voters exceeding voter rolls in places), exert pressure externally, bringing other developed nations to lean on Iran.
