I read the posting rules which seem really potentially strict if discussing any serious political issue, yet I understand the need to try and maintain a more rational discussion and I will try my best to do so.
I've really come to the conclusion lately that war with Iran is not avoidable and that the longer we wait the stronger Iran will become when we finally do end up in a full scale war with Iran. I do believe that core to this conflict is Islamic Extremism and I don't see how to discuss this without saying that. This is not at all to say that all Muslims are Extremists. There are extremists of all religions and extremists who have no religion at all. I also do not believe that ALL Iranians want a war with the USA.
But, the Iranians in control, to the best of my ability to tell, very, very strongly want a war with the USA and with Israel and they are 100% set on a course to make it happen. Iran appears to be working really hard to gain enough influence and to build up enough military force to actively launch a full scale attack on Israel and they are making progress, despite Israels attacks to destroy Iranian points of military buildup close to them. I have listened to a number of Iranians preaching how great they are and how they are going to crush the USA and Israel; which under some circumstances I could ignore, but the people preaching this are working really, really hard to build up their military to carry out their threats and they seem to be increasingly trying to provoke war doing things like firing rockets into Israel.
I am not a fan of war, but if we are on a course of inevitable war with Iran, I don't think we should play around with it. I did not consider Afghanistan a threat to the USA, I did not consider Iraq a threat to the USA, but Iran I do consider a threat to the USA. Iran is extending its influence strongly into both Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Pakistan, UAE, Qatar, and Yemen. This is all with the apparent goal of destroying Israel and the USA.
I find that extremely disturbing and something we should not ignore.
So, should we move towards full scale war with Iran?
Because it sure looks like Iran is moving towards full scale war with us.
