I notice that you skip a lot of reality that addresses your concern (that being, the security of the Iranian regime).
 
No, we should not bomb Iran. We should change the question to read reality. Should the USA bomb Iran to regain access to the OIL and Natural Gas fields that are under its' topography to be sure Exxon/Mobil, Shell, Total, BP, etc. maintain control of the worldwide distribution network priced in US Dollars. That would be tankers, pipelines, refineries, etc. and timely payments not called bribes to the politicians who influence these decisions and write laws that seek to maintain the Centrlaized Distribution Network for Petrofuels instead of a Decentralized Network of Renewables and the new industries, labors, and economies that would result from such change, and that is to include mitigation of Global Warming. If you think the Iran issue is about "nukes," the "Mighty Wurlitzer" has succeeded in invading and massaging your brain. Let's start talking about reality, no more spin BS. Don't you think?

Please, sharon, tell us again how great and free Saudi is, and how Iran's government is basically the same as the US. I love those stories.

We don't have to remake the ME in out own image to do business.

Iran could easily be pumping 6 million bpd with some investment and repair of facilities for reserve mgmt...

The problem now is that Iran feels very threatened.. in the belief that their nuclear power and desalination facilities will be bombed .. like in Iraq and Syria.

Context demands it. Tell us how bombing the crap out of Japan worked but that will not work with Arabs/Persians.

They are 1.2 billion strong. How many do you want to kill to change their minds?

Who has Iran invaded, and when did they attack us?

I am speaking of Muslims ...

Have you ever done any negotiating?

There is power in listening.

I was in a press conference in KSA and asked about commerce between KSA and the US..

As it happened I had spoken with the State Dept and there were 250 companies in my state doing business with KSA.. never mind the ports authority.

To me... and I could be wrong, but that means American jobs and paychecks that support American families.

IMO.. that beats h*ll out of attacking them to force regime change.

They've attacked Israel via Hamas and Hez. They've attacked the US in Iraq. Iran has also committed countless international assassinations. They've been actively involved in terrorism for as long as any of us can remember.

Shame isn't it?

I so wish Israel would leave Lebanon alone.. Their whole demographic went upside down with the sudden influx of penniless Palestinian refugees.

God knows that refugee populations have always been a problem.

Not to nonsense.

In your next breath, you will like another post by Catawba blaming US business for the problems in Iraq under Saddam.

No.. like business for win-win outcomes. I never had until I was in my early 40s.

As it turned out I was good at it... but you have to listen.

LOLOL.. and how would you do that? We couldn't secure the highway between the airport and Baghdad in a country crippled by war and sanctions for two decades.

Listen to what? 1.2 million Muslims stand behind the Iranian government? That's NONSENSE. Not even all Iranian Muslims stand behind the regime, let alone the rest of the mideast. What planet does that idea come from?

Do you likewise blame the US for actions carried out by nations we support? If not, than you cannot credibly blame Iran for the actions of the nations it supports.

At what point did listening tell you that I want to end the Muslim religion? WTF? We're talking about the Iranian regime, not all Muslims. What a disconnect. I mean, WOW.

Now you are beginning to get it.
 
You presuming that my position is based on wiping out the Muslim religion is nuts! I'm done. Have a nice day.

That's not what happened in Japan, and Iraq is rapidly liberalizing. It's no longer legal to treat women like livestock there. They can vote and go to school. No more court mandated gang rape to sentence women for 'false accusations'. A lot of great stuff has been hapening in Iraq, and I don't think women are gonna give that power up anytime soon.

Whatever good things have come from Iraq have come at a huge cost, including the lives of US soldiers and many innocent civilians.

"Inflation-adjusted" doesn't apply to this graft. OPEC price-gouging caused all that inflation. With this in mind, the left side of the graph should start at $2 a barrel. The graft's economists' gimmick proves that the self-appointed experts are just shills for sheiks.
