Help Me Understand. |
A warlord was wreaking havoc across a land and his army came up to a mountain monastery.
The head monk came down to speak with the warlord and beseech peace.
The warlord was not having any of it and commanded the monk to stand aside so his troops could enter this temple. When the monk refused, the warlord spoke, "Old fool, you know nothing! I could run you through without blinking an eye."
The monk replied, "and I could be run through without blinking an eye."
Awed and defeated, the warlord took his troops and left.

Iran has existed two and a half milennia. Why would they end it all the second they got a weapon? Who starts a fight they know they'll lose miserably?
Why do you guys refuse to look at their religion? Their country is run by it. You guys will say religion is irrational.... but when it comes to a country that is totally religious, you think they will act rational... WTF???
..and you say I am doing mental gymnastics 
Who is you guys? Atheist and agnostic aren't the same 
You're saying it's okay for Christians and Jews to have weapons, but not those crazy Muslims! They should be banned because their religions is just nuts. When you realize that no one religion is any more stupid than any other, there is no longer a reason to bar them from doing what they want on religious grounds. There are reasons that Iran shouldn't have weapons and why they are a threat. You've skipped those and instead are going crazy because they're Muslim. The question shouldn't be why I'm not looking at religion, it's why you can't stop.
Bush said that god told him to end they tyranny in Iraq!

Why IMHO is so far out in the deep side of the pool here is because of his faulty reasoning, lack of knowledge on the subject and lack of critical thinking.
Yes, all religions are basically nuts even more so when it's extreme.
However the Iranian regime is a lot more complicated and many faceted and advanced then say the regime in Afghanistan was, because the people in power are not blind fundamentalists..
They are smart, educated and know what the hell they are doing.. First mistake is to underestimate your enemy just because his culture is different and he looks like something from the stone age and his propaganda is made to appeal to your basic Iranian redneck who don't know how to read.
The thing here IMHO is that you view the world in absolutes, black and white.. Your narrow minded ignorance is probably born out of your religiousness, you'd make an excellent Iranian serf.

Your use of the word 'we' is kinda cute.
You mean 'us' of course, but we love you anyway 
We shouldn't get involved with anything more then aid to our allies. No troops.
Israel is a big boy, they can take care of themselves.
I just want to see the Iranian regime toppled, if the US and Israel avoids killing civilians and just set about to hamstring the Iranian military and then let the CIA support anti-regime elements within Iran I think that country could become quite awesome within a few years.

Seeing as how the people of Iran want the regime gone just about as much as the rest of the world, we should be helping them as much as possible.

No strategic importance, no strategic resources..
Iran however; oil, and the straits of Hormuz where most of the middle eastern Oil is shipped through, big deal for the US and Europe.
We invaded Libya because of the oil not because we're in any way humanitarians, the world is a huge geo-political Risk game.
edit: Risk is more apt then Chess..
