The UN is not a nation.
Right, it's the empire.
BTW, why can America, Russia and Israel have nukes and Iran can't? Hypocrisy?

I'm sure it's too much to ask that our government let Israel fight it's own war. Sooner or later the rest of the world is going to start kicking back against all this aggression and our leaders must know this. Therefore, I have to assume that there are people who want a large scale conflict in the world. Aren't constant wars one of the signatures of a society in decline?

Genocidal dictatorship?
May be, but it's pure hypocrisy. I can have a Corvette and you CAN'T. :roll:
I don't know where you get this idea that everyone should be treated exactly the same regardless of who they are or what they do, but it's dumb.
I see. That sounds more like promote the general welfare.'Cept for payin for all the soldiers and bullets and stuff.
300 Spartans laid down their lives because these people are all wrong guys. Faced with the same wrong guys 2400 years later, 300 million Sparetire couch-potato Americans slouch away from all threats to their mashed-potato soft civilization.You are aware of our history in regards to Iran, right.
Modern Iran is a problem of our creation.
They voted for the wrong guy and we fixed it for 'em.

But I'm an Indy driver and you're a crazy blind cripple (for the purpose of this point). Not hypocrisy.

However, YOUR sweethearts in Iran have pledged to DESTROY Israel.
Not really. He claimed they will destroy the Zionist regime in Israel, not Israel itself. You make the distinction, right?
It's no different than the US claiming to liberate the people of a country form the atrocities of it's corrupted government. Iraq, for example.
Iran with ballistic missiles AND nukes is also not in our interest either. And any leader that says this...
(bold is mine)
Iran: We will help 'cut out the cancer of Israel' - Telegraph
...is hardly demonstrating a defensive mindset.

Let's see they are under sanctions, governments are threatening to bomb them, they have been cyber attacked and their scientist have been murdered in terrorist attacks. Yeah a few harsh words are identical to acts of war. How do threats to Israel threaten us? They don't! in fact it's the exact opposite look up Patreaus's testimony before congress.

Destabilizing the ME, which supplies us with vital oil supplies, is a threat to us. Threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz is a threat to us. Proclaiming they could to destroy US bases in the region is a threat to us. They've gone quite out of their way to make sure we know they are a threat.

the options would include a proxy war against the US and Israel in the region, as well as a shadow economic war. it wouldn't take much to send the US into a depression, and China holds a significant amount of our debt.
the least poor option is to continue diplomatic and economic strategies until Iran demonstrates that its nuclear program is truly malignant.
israeli officials are pounding the war drums, the question being when - not whether - it will trespass iran's sovereign territory and dismantle its infrastructure, and you cite iran as being the threat
