I do not support a USreal war on Iran. This war would be costly on
lives, economics, and integrity of the two countries. The Israeli prime
minister has been very fixated on a war with Iran. If Isreal attacks
Iran and Iran fights back, The United States will back Isreal.
Fortunately, technological and logistics challenges has been preventing
such attacks on Iran; however, I found this stement disturbing:
"U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz said Wednesday
that Washington has prepared military options to strike Iran's nuclear
sites should conflict erupt, Bloomberg reported."
Isreal also stated it will not warn the United States if it decides to attack Iran. I
am not happy with Isreal's "loose cannon" approach to Iran, and the
United State's choice to still support their war hunger; however, The
chairman of the joint chief of staff General Dempsy stated that Iran is a
"rational actor." This means the US's top military leader does not
believe a war with Iran is prudent, but I am afraid this statement will
not be enough to deter Americans from another war. A 2010 poll showed
that 70% of Americans believed Iran already has nuclear weapons, and 58%
of Americans believed military action is necessary against Iran. If
president Obama can not get prime minister Netanyahu under
control, the United States could be forced into another war; it does not
want to fight, especially with Afghanistan and Iraq in recent history.
Also, the developing countries India and China have close interests in
Iran for its oil, so a war with Iran will cause international conflicts
for the United States with these rising super powers.
