What if there's a war?

just as long as they do a good job if they decide to nuke us.... make sure they annihilate us.... I don't want my animals or the animals at QAWS dying of hunger and thirst if we ain't around to feed them:-(

There are always wars and rumours of wars, as said. These should take place at the end. Nothing to worry if we are in the right relationship.

Moza - You hit the nail on it's head. Thats what is causing me to worry.

lots of disinformation. USA and Israel against Iran is like a Pitt Bull against a Chihuahua.

Iran is making a lot of noise, but when the time comes ....

CL - What is your meaning?

The Iranians also have a lot of speedboats so would probably try to attack tankers and offshore platforms and that would be difficult to stop.

However as Britexpat says its all bluff at the moment. If there was a real war the Iranians wouldn't win it. The US military machine would destroy Iranian capability in about 2 months with the whole of the GCC cheering them and providing money. The big hope would be then the Iranian people would rise up and throw those religious dictators out and grab back their country.

a huge loss of innocent lives again

Bluebull, 2 months to take out the Iranian military, what then happens is something else. If you remember Iraq, it was only 2 months to roll over the army and it was quiet for 3 or 4 months afterwards before the insurgency and bombings started. Now that is a whole different type of war.

Iran already displayed the power of nukes to the world...I wish that Saddam Hussain and Col.Gaddafi could have done that and they must be alive today...But Iranians are smart enough to show the world that they are not Afganistan Iraq or Libiya.So now US is back on his foot and before stepping out again they will think twice that to quench their oil thirst next step is going be disaster for their own country.US is already facing a huge financial crisis so better they think about themselves before attacking somebody for no reasons.Please I m sorry if I offended anybody.But isn't a commoner is suffering in US as well as other coutnries just for the hell of these useless wars in between?

WILL BE THAT THING YOU HEAR.....

Sincerelyurs are you seriously saying that Saddam and Ghadafi were good things for their countries? If you remember after Saddam was defeated Iraqis came onto the streets to celebrate the evil dictator gone and for Ghadafi his own people brought him down and killed him.

As for Iran the religious dictators will not start a war then cannot win. If they do they know that is the end of them as the Iranian people will rise up and hang them for the years of oppression they have suffered.

Bush is very good rest all r evil

they not only take oil they stole our poor Mahatama Gandhi's spects and auctioned them at the time of crisis

Mahatma Gandhi's glasses, letters to be auctioned in UK

Such is the way of politics - yet dictators never learn. Once your usefullness is over, you're a despot. Remember Noriega ?

Very true Britexpat.

Well MN, it depends on your time period! Choose 5000 years and the Persians invaded nearly everyone!!

As for who is a threat to who. Ask that to the Qatar, the UAE and Saudi governments who they consider the biggest threat and they will not answer USA....

In fact, now that I remember Iran did occupy those three Islands off the UAE so technically they did invade someone in the last 100 years....

Moza: They didn’t occupy it they just restored their sovereignty over it.
The Persian’s sovereignty over Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa islands is a known fact to history before they were occupied by the British forces in 1903

The Persians used to rule all of Arab lands should they be considered Iranian soveriegn territory?

As for QR084 do you think the massacre in Houla was a proportional defence of its territory by the Syrian govt? (Or do you believe it was a western plot to discredit Bashar?)

your subject has the future story written in it - The Arrival

the best way is to Pray , obey him

Yes the USA has blood on its hands and what country doesn't but Qatar2love you could counter.

1. Bosnia
2. Kosovo
3. Defeat of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan
4. Korea
5. Libya

All wars that were welcomed by the people either invaded or oppressed.

So you consider your life defined by your country and not your humanity? I pity you and your affinity for a piece of dirt. Humans are more than the place they were born.

I did not call you inhumane I suggested your humanity is more important to you as a person rather than the country you are affiliated to.

If you consider your country to be a mother then that is an insult to your mother and what she has done for you.

i said my country is like a mother (not my mother)
not my mother -.-
i did not insult my own mum.

you haven't had a revolution which caused thousands of deaths or had an 8 year war against the world subsiquently after the revolution, therefore to obtain a victory and being able to be so independent so far with all the sanctions i love my country and i would not exchange it for another.

stop being a smart dummy and respect other people's country's and personality.

one who has no respect for himself cannot respect anything

Why is the U.S. really so concerned about Iran? Is it the supposed nuclear threat to the region or the threat to the U.S. Petrodollar?

_______________________________ When were perisans ruling over Arabia? A thousand yars ago? I'm talking about the continuity of Perisan precense and Perisan history in those Islands since ages and as late as 1930!

/-a-t-/britexpat

you're stupid, end of :) in a couple of years when we become a super power, i will personally invite you to kiss my foot. :D byeee

lol excuse him sometimes coz of his humour sense costs him much

See that is the problem MN, where do you draw the line? 50 years ago, 100 years, 200 or a 1000? (China's claims in the China sea date back in the 1000s...)

After how long does a claim become invalid?

claim OBL is in afghanistan and take it over by force - well said LP

Well said.. As centuries before - "Might is Right"

One problem with your argument CS, the Americans and their allies are leaving Afghanistan as they did Iraq.

The war going on in Syria is a civil war. Syrians are killing each other. This is different to the situation in Iran.

LOL Mr. Moza!

moza
There are things Fabricated ،،
If it was really welcome ..Why we hear news about the killing of American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq?!

they Think the ppl will receiv them with flowers in Iraq
But they met them by death !!

my friend from Libya, she says there were hidden hands in the subject This is something tangible on the ground there

Bosnia,what America did is play an international After killing thousands of Muslims and exterminated by serbian ! After that they want help?!
Rather than for humanitarian

Only to their advantage,,,
against Russia
against large Muslim state concentration of the Mujahideen.،،the same think in Afghanistan
Against the dominance of any country like Russia .. Japan, etc.
Just want the dominate for U.S.

America Was called the fighters in Afghanistan against Russia the Mujahideen
Now same the Mujahideen but they called terrorists !!
Why ?
The oppressed Palestinians in their country of almost 63 years old!
Why not help them?

Anyone who thinks Iran would even be a contender in a conflict with the US is an idiot. The US would not invade but use airstrikes to destroy Iranian military infrastructure. The US would have air superiority the moment its jets take off and would eliminate Iran's traditional fighting capacity in under two weeks, and that is a stretch. The US would have no reason to put ground forces in Iran.

If Iran hit tankers, world opinion would go decisively against it. The US would then be able to build a coalition against Iran in the region, including KSA and other Gulf countries--who fear Iran much more than the US does (remember all the leaked cables from KSA and the Emirates urging the US to bomb Iran?).

Iran's best best is not to retaliate with force against the tankers but appeal to world opinion and play the sympathy card--something that would go a long way imo.

O I L . Nothing more, nothing less!

"flavors" to make it more acceptable. Why do you think they hire think tank for such promotions.

Iraq and Libya are the best examples.

US has been on war all these years and it's good for the US Citizens.

Tigerboyy--if you are really this concerned, you should move out the the war zone.

Xena--exactly. People only swat flies when they bite.

U.S. Navy Announces Iran War Preparations
March 17, 2012 • 3:52AM
Without hardly batting an eyelash, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathon Greenert informed the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday about what the U.S. Navy is doing to prepare for war against Iran.

Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Ct.) nonchalantly asked Greenert what the Navy is asking for in the budget "that will specifically increase our capability to defend against any Iranian action" in the Persian Gulf. Greenert said, among other things, that the Navy is moving four minesweeping ships to the Gulf, in addition to the four that are already there, along with four more minesweeping helicopters. Greenert indicated that those minesweeping vessels would be working very closely with similar British minesweepers that are also already there.

A retired Naval officer who blogs under the nom de plume "Galrahn," had this to say on that same day on his blog "Information Dissemination" about Admiral Greenert's revelation: "In other words, the Chief of Naval Operations announced to the Senate Armed Services Committee this morning specific details about preparations for war with Iran, and in response the Senators drooled on themselves in silent capitulation. The only thing missing from that scene from this mornings Twilight Zone moment in the Senate was the CNO knocking on the microphone asking 'is this thing on' for dramatic effect."

What if there is a war and nobody attends it?
THAT is the only question that would get anybody anywhere.
The rest is just the usual babble.
