    Yes, voila - not just zero international support, PROFOUNDLY NEGATIVE international hatred. Expect to get retaliation.

    That's a crap reason to invade any country. Why didn't you invade the UK, France, the USSR, South Africa, Israel etc etc etc.

      although this poses an interesting question.

      Why not just bomb the nuclear facilities?

      If they rebuild them, we bomb them again.

      There is no reason to take over a whole country just for one nuclear facility.

      The only problem with this, is eventually they will build them underground. That would be impossible to bomb- without using nukes at least

        hmm... so much bad and good could come from action or inaction... who knows what could be the possible effects 100 years down the road. Its very frightening i think, especially with the prospect that we cant keep terrorists from getting the bomb forever, and we are certainly number 1 on their **** list.

        The only solution would be to break the terrorists' will to fight for their cause... that would be tremendously hard to do considering their fanatcism and the restraint the US must use due to the Geneva treaty and other human rights considerations.

          Any mention of it in US media lately?
          Afghanistan is hanging there. I believe our strategic goal is to build up terroritories under Karzai's control and set an example for the rest of the country. That will put pressure on the warlords and deprive support for the Taliban. Since Afghanistan is a sh1thole to begin, we want to achieve our goal with minimum amount of investment.

          Chinese communists did the same thing with "liberated" zone during the civil war and "special economic region" during the reform. It appears to be working.

                    There will be "retaliation" whether you do anything or not.

                    It's a great reason to invade countries. The US didnt invade those countries either because it couldnt or because they were allies.


                    Iran can be stopped and therefore it should be stopped.

                      Shhh. Bush seems so eager, so maybe he'll do the job for us.

                        Arabs? Don't you mean "some Muslims"?

                        And what do they want? Demilitarization in Saudi, greater political freedom and the dismantling of Israel.

                        The first 2 are possible - the 3rd isn't.

                            The evacuation of Israel is possible. I already mentioned sending them to New Mexico or maybe Texas

                              I thought that nuclear non proliferation was a UN problem. Perhaps we ought to hear from the Security Council on Iran. The IAEA seems quite perturbed by Iran's defiance.

                              If we ever want to go to war against Iran, it will have to be because they were defying UN resolutions. But, as far as I know, the UN SC still has yet to speak on this issue.
