We are going to go to war with Iran. Both presidential candidates are for it. Its not going to be good because Russian, India, China (?), and Pakistan has already sided with Iran.

Regardless, as fucked up as that fact is, I think it is 50x more fucked up that the fact that the nuclear reactors everyone in Congress is up in arms about WAS PAID FOR BY THIS FUCKING NATION.

Even more infuriating was the fact that this story was one of the most ignored by major media outlets last year. I work in the media, and it infuriates the ever-fucking-living-shit (yeah, I made up a phrase to express how angry I am about it) that NO ONE talked about this.

THIS IS A MEGA FUCKING BIG DEAL AND NO ONE TALKED ABOUT IT.

I hate this fucking country sometimes.

it's pretty common for the u.s. to set up it's enemies.
we gave saddam wmd's, and funded the war against the soviet union in afghanistan after all.

....you can thank our own country for supplying the means to make it necessary to make Iran the enemy.

What a crock of shit.

lol not sayin it's fake or anything, but I love how you use wikipedia to back the guys credentials; the website that anyone can edit, change or just make up bullshit without any real checks or regulation.

I'm sure your hours of research on wikipedia and other 'alternate' news sources on 'what's really happening in the world' will serve you well...Alex Jones is a good one.

You're right, man, I should totally rely on network television for the real news.

More like 3 minutes to make sure all the awards he won were legit.

If you aren't going to talk about the thread topic, don't respond to me.

It doesn't take research to know Wikipedia isn't the most trusted source.

Actually, shouldn't we thank Halliburton? It is not a government owned entity, and therefore, maybe we shouldn't blame your country (which includes your government and every american citizen) for a private company's actions.

I hope we don't invade/bomb/etc. I was planning on going there next summer, it's not too hard to get there through the Swiss and not too expensive for an amazing trip

Seriously? Not being a dick, what would make you want to go to Iran? Family ties?

Am I missing something? Not that I think it's a third world country or anything (and the women have to be nice, and I have dated a Persian girl before, one of the hottest girls I ever dated), but with all the tension and such, just, yeah, not for me.

It houses one of the greatest cultures of the world, and as long as you're not waving an American flag and stick with your guide you're pretty damn safe. I'd just like to meet the Iranian people I guess.

It would be a really bad idea to go to war with Iran. The military is over-stretched enough as it is, and we'd face an even tougher enemy than Iraq and Afghanistan.

I know who Dick Cheney is, but whatever this company did was not a governmental action, right? His ownership of the company is his own private business, and I'm just not sure you should be blaming the country for it.

iran didnt always have a crackhead of a leader like ahmadienadhajoawshtweoawemgjad. they're really off and on with their government and our political tension with them really varies. hell, they used to help us in the iraq war before this dipshit got put in their office. (not that i support the war whatsoever.) correct me if im wrong but from the sources i found, most of iran's people hate that guy and want him out, and dont support any of his aggressive threats. so im hoping they get a new guy in there before any sort of physical war actually happens. his term ends next yera.

edit: and shit i just looked it up and that guy doesnt even have any control over the military, that supreme leader al khameinei does.

but see the thing is iraq isnt even our enemy hahaha. they're their own enemy. we're fighting with them against themselves.

It's political tension, yo. You can still walk down the streets, see the sights, and think nothing of getting shot at. I hear it's a beautiful country when you're not meddling around the bad parts of town or whatever.

You do realize that the government is the one paying Haliburton to be over in that area of the world?

Fortunately we definitely won't be dumb enough to fall for it a third time.

It's probably the only reason why we haven't invaded already.

i dont see iran as much more than a taunt, i feel like ahmadineajhjsawestjad is just going to starve his country and then get booted out of office while the supreme leader doesnt do anything with the military.

Yeah... if we didn't already have most of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, I think people would be a lot less worried about it.

we dont have the obligation nor the resources to be the world's police force. needless to say, we cant go around condemning the cruel ideologies of some countries like we're some big shining light to the world becuase we've got corruption of our own. thats the problem the world has with us, we go around making messes and cleaning them our own way acting like our own shit never stinks.
