The Iraq Iran war, is coming soon... and it's the same as before.
Lets not forget, Dick Cheney of all people wants a war with Iran. AND the Secratary of Defense is a former CIA director during the George H. W. Bush administration...another former CIA director. And remember, the CIA told us there was absolute evidence of WMD and links with AlQaeda in Iraq...and now Iran!
The question is, when? This year? Next year? When Hillary's president?
highly unlikely...Iran has perhaps the most pro-US populations in the middle east in terms of itss younger generations. it is highly unlikely to start a military campaign for that reason...not to mention the fact that the US military is already at the point of being stretched to a ridiculously thin level that there is no way another front is feasible.
while i believe from what friends have told me who are serving in Iraq. i DO think that elements within Iran are supplying and aiding insurrgents in Iraq that is attributing to the deaths of ally troops. is is this in itself a justification?...or is it merely factions within Iran rather then a policy set down by the government
He probably lets out his anger then removes the nasty comments afterwards, thats what I do anyway
Isnīt the fact the the youth there are pro American a good reason to invade, or in some way bring about regime change. With that much support it would be easier to build up after the "take over".
The American military doesnt have the resources to engage in such a grand war. The Army struggles with keeping enough troops rooted in Iraq. Congress as a majority highly opposes any military confrontation with Iran at this point. Although, im sure America will be at war with Iran one day. unless, America Is directly attacked bt Iran, this war is far off.
With that said, certain presidential candidates have obligations and persoanl interests with Israel. Look out for these candidates being elected and a draft as warning signs.

As far as the Iran war, I don't think it'll happen in a conventional means, sure, there might be a few missiles launched to take out Iran's (supposed) nuclear plants, maybe a few covert operations here and there, Israel might take an active role, but America won't be going in on another war like Iraq.
Given the logic displayed by the military industrial complex, I wouldn't call that a reason not to invade; rather a major reason to invade. At the end of the first Gulf war, the US didn't invade Bahgdad because they felt that Saddam was a figure of stability. Not too long after that, the Bush the First administration asked the people of Iraq to "stand up". (sounds familiar) But, the reason they didn't, was because the US left Saddam in power. They were scared of Saddam. The US would have poured weapons into teh country to aide any resistance (freedom) fighters. But, what good would guns have done against fear? So, as they stood up, we backed out. Flash forward to this war, the US invaded and toppled the regime. Okay, fine. That done, the people want us out.
In it's vast ignorance, this administration will justify invasion or military air strikes by flaunting the desire for freedom shared by the youth of Iran. Even a number of Democratic candidates have not ruled out the possiblity of air strikes against Iran.
And as happened with Iraq, the first American jackboot to hit the sand of Iran, given what they've seen us do to Iraq, the people of Iran will stand up...against us.
As Roosevelt said: "Freedom can not be bestowed, it must be acheived."

Now imagine the hell on the homefront that would cause. Even if the govt. found a legitimate reason to invade Iran, the American people wouldn't buy it because they were so alienated by bullshit reasons for this one.
I agree with you. But, look at the outrage we have over the invasion of Iraq, and it's subsequent fall out? It seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Even Hillary and Obama have said they doubt they could pull us out of Iraq by 2012.
