We have too many wars. Foreign interventionism created this regime. War costs lives, and money. I was wrong about the Iraq war, and don't want to be wrong again.

Well said.
In fact, this is really all about Israel. Israel has been trying to convince the US to attack Iran for decades, but they haven't yet found a president stupid enough to contemplate it. In Trump they have such a president.
Iran still says they want to wipe Israel off the face of the map. They are a terrorist State! They would give their Nuclear weapons to terrorist groups.
What would have happened if the world did not go to war with Germany, and Hitler had gotten the Atom bomb?
Sometimes war is the only alternative. I'm hoping we will not have to go to war with Iran, but saying never would allow the evils of this world to create terror beyond our imagination.
This situation will probably lead to strategic strikes on Iran's nuclear programs, either from Israel bombers or ours.
It's none of your damned business what Iran does you raging interventionist hypocrite.
The United States has nuclear weapons. Israel has nuclear weapons. How is Iran supposed to defend itself if it doesn't also have nuclear weapons?
What would have happened if the world did not go to war with Germany, and Hitler had gotten the Atom bomb?
But Donald Trump is literally one hundred times more like Hitler than anybody in Iran, so your attempted analogy is literally fucking ridiculous. See:-
Donald Trump "kept book of Adolf Hitler's speeches in his bedside cabinet"
If the government can lie about iraq, they can lie about Iran. I am not a Democrat anymore, but this makes no sense. Ron Paul, a libertarian Republican, is antiwar. I never said I am okay with any country having WMDs, I just don't support this war, honey.
If the government can lie about iraq, they can lie about Iran.
They are obviously lying about Iran. It is the only potential threat to Israel in the region and the far right has wanted to attack it for literally decades.
I never said I am okay with any country having WMDs, I just don't support this war, honey.
When the US dumps its own WMDs it will have a legitimate right to suggest other countries do the same. Otherwise it's just pure hypocrisy.
I wish I had been aborted. I have had a shit life.............................................................................................................
I can't change the fact that I'm disabled. I'm so unhappy......................................................................................................................................
I don't know what your disability is, but since you are claiming to be a Christian, you have an eternity in Heaven to look forward to, with no disability.
I understand that life is not as enjoyable when we are sick, and I sympathize with you.

There were people who said that Governments were lying about Hitler and Germany. Your point?
How do you know they are lying?
It is proven fact that Iran supports terrorism around the world. It's bleeding hearts that would allow evil to conquer the world. Thankfully we have Republicans who know better.
Why with all of Obama's bleeding heart apologies over in the East, getting us out of Iraq before they were ready, did ISIS come to power? Do you actually think these Christian and Jewish hating Arabs care one thing about doing the right thing?
Do you ever look at the facts?
After one year in Office, Trump decimated ISIS strongholds. Do you see what war can do to protect lives from evil? God was very strong against Arab war mongers. He is not a bleeding heart!
Way to break godwin's Law. The government lied about Iraq, and might be lying about Iran. People are going to die. You call yourself prolife? Don't kill, it's rude, to say the least.
There were people who said that Governments were lying about Hitler and Germany. Your point?
The point is that your government are the ones acting like Hitler, not Iran's government. You are trying to invent fraudulent reasons to attack a country which has never attacked you, ever. Hitler did this many times, most famously when he had his men burn down The Reichstag so that he could blame Communists and eventually win support for a war against Russia.
Hitler turned out to be the evil we all said he was. If we had not gone to war with him, his evil would have spread.
Iran is a terrorist nation. They admit they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth.
This is fact! You sit there acting like they are innocent. They can not be allowed to get nuclear weapons. They are not a peace loving nation that could ever be trusted.
Israel could have long ago wiped Iran off the face of the planet with their own nuclear weapons! WHY HAVEN'T THEY? Because they are not a terrorist power hungry nation.
Why after defeating Japan with the Atom bomb, did America not use their might to conquer the world? You should THANK GOD every night that America was the first nation to get the bomb, and there after keeping the world from another world war.
Were it not for America's Christian faith, they would have done terrible things to the world.
Every Iranian person I know has absolutely no wish to attacK America. In fact, they LITERALLY signed a deal last year that would stop them manufacturing the ingredients for nukes. And it was not Iran or the various other nations party to the deal who withdrew from it on a whim: it was the American government.
As for supporting terrorists, depending on your definition of terrorist organization or terrorist state, the USA at one point or another directly or indirectly supported:
The Contras
The Mujahideen
The IRA
The Ordine Nuovo
The Iranian military (at the time of an arms embargo)
SAVAK
The Insurrectional Movement of Revolutionary Recovery
Various factions in La Violencia
Los Pepes and the Cali Cartel
The KLA in the Balkans
The Khmer Rouge
The PKK in Turkey
As well as having committed a litany of extraordinary (illegal) renditions and the bombings or funding and arming the participants of aggression against many countries, such as:
Iraq
Somalia
Pakistan
Libya
Syria
Kuwait
Nigeria
Liberia
Sierra Leone
Korea
China
Laos
Vietnam
Cambodia
Guatemala
Grenada
Cuba
Indonesia
Lebanon
El Salvador
Yemen
Iran
Bosnia
Panama
Sudan
Afghanistan
Yugoslavia
Palestine
Peru
Belgian Congo
And also: the French embassy in Libya; the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade.
And I would strongly suspect there are many others it has not been found to have been complicit in.
In my experience, significant numbers of Americans favour bombing countries they wouldn't even be able to point out on a map. By contrast, I have yet to hear a single Iranian citizen whom I have directly spoken to, express any desire for a war with, or even an attack upon, the US. The Iranian peoples' hospitality and friendly nature are second to none.
When did I ever say Iran wanted to go to war with us?
I said they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haven't prominent Israeli politicians said the same thing about Iran? But let me ask you this: when has Iran directly attacked Israel with fighter jets?
They just shot down one of our Drones and you think that is not a provocation?
One of your drones, that was flying near Hormuz. Which is Iran's fucking territory lol! You tryina tell me if Iran was flying a drone off the coast of Costa Rica the Muricans wouldn't shoot that fucker out of the sky faster than you could say "hola hombre"?
The Iranian people are completely controlled by their Islamic Theocracy!
I would encourage you to go. I can tell you, they aren't. The only difference you will see between Iran and the USA, walking around the streets, is significantly less violence, and significantly less to no alcohol.
They have no say in anything they do
Please go there. It will open your eyes.
It's their leaders who want to wipe Israel off the planet
No, a few of their politicians despise Israel, like a few Israeli politicians despise Iran. The difference being, one has nukes and has threatened to use them, and the other has not.
Since time began, nations at times have had to go into partnerships with bad groups in order to stop worse groups. It's called intelligence!
Far as I can tell, the baddest groups are defined by how many innocent people they slaughter. Tell me, how many have Iranians slaughtered in the last several decades?
Haven't prominent Israeli politicians said the same thing about Iran?
Oh, but I think someone needs to explain right wing logic to you. Under the rules of right wing logic Israel is allowed to make any aggressive act it likes, for any reason it likes, including the intentional murder of children. However, if you say anything bad about Israel in return then obviously you are a TERRORIST and must be EXTERMINATED IMMEDIATELY!
Keep ignoring the terrorism Iran supports! I could not care less what the people think. I'm speaking to their terror government.
If they want to be left alone, stop trying to make Nuclear weapons because they want to WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!
If the leaders joined the civilized world, and did not constantly threaten Israel's existence, did not sponsor terror, people would not care so much if they got a weapon.
YOu're so one sided about everything. Do you not think the people who fall victim to American sponsored terrorism, or frivolous wars and bombings and the nukes of the US and their various atoll nuclear tests and their numerous, endless arms dealings, feel exactly the fucking same about your sick, deluded, vile fucking country's government and military?
One last response to an intolerant hater of America...
The answer to my next question will determine if you are Trumpaphobic.
Ask yourself this one simple question...
If Trump had bombed Iranian sites that could have killed approximately 150 people, in retaliation for their shooting down of our unmanned Drone, would you have called him a war monger?
Now since Trump prevented our military from carrying out that plan, believing the response of killing 150 Iranians too serious for the crime, did you praise his compassionate restraint, or did you refuse to acknowledge his compassionate response.
Ask yourself why you would never give Trump praise for doing the compassionate thing, but always quick to demonize America for anything they may have done wrong?
Most Liberals have disdain for anything America does, but look the other way when it comes to the nations they like.
If Israel had shot down an Iranian Drone (if they had one), they would have immediately shot a number of scud missiles into Israel. Iran could not care less how many innocent people are killed. Their leaders have a terrorist mentality.
I am glad he didn't retaliate. He would have been killing innocent people, on foreign sovereign land, for shooting down an unarmed drone that was breaching their sovereign airspace.
WTF was the drone doing there in the first place?
Yes, Trump did the right thing in this case.
..As for "scud missiles" ...
FromWithin, Israel literally destroyed (twice) a French manned nuclear energy reactor, on Iranian soil. And the Iranians didn't retaliate.
You're just making stuff up now. "what if this", "what if that".
Like I said, you will never give Trump credit for the good compassionate things he does
You are talking about a man who has literally built his entire life around his own self-interests. He was sued by his own building contractors (who ironically were immigrants) because they did a ton of work for him and he didn't pay them. You might as well swap the word Trump for Hitler, because your statement isn't going to get any less ludicrous.
It's not compassion that drives his choice in this matter. If Trump was compassionate he wouldn't grab women by the pussy; or cheat on his wife; or even talk about war with a country who shot down an unmanned drone that was violating their sovereign territory.
Why do you always attempt to polarize and assume someone who doesn't agree with you is a hypocrite for supporting the Democrats, even when they aren't American and don't support an American political party?
I am not a Democrat. I am not an American. I don't subscribe to US two party politics. I don't support what Bill Clinton did. I didn't even like Bill Clinton (or Hillary Clinton).
The Iranian peoples' hospitality and friendly nature are second to none.
Hello sean:
Yes, and no.. The PEOPLE may be friendly, but the GOVERNMENT is not.. You've got the westernized populace who wear suits to work every day, and you've got the Mullahs who RUN the place.. The Mullahs aren't very friendly. They kidnapped Americans and held them hostage. They hate America.. They hate Jews.
Now, we can talk about history, or we can talk about today.
If the people don't wanna be blamed for what their government does, maybe they should change their government...
You've got the westernized populace who wear suits to work every day, and you've got the Mullahs who RUN the place
Mullahs are cunts. Every young Iranian citizen agrees with this.
They kidnapped Americans and held them hostage
The Americans kidnap people and hold them hostage all the time. What are Guantanamo; Abu Ghraib etc?
The Iranian people supported a revolution against US influence that sold their oil at fractional prices and tortured their people. Can you blame them for wanting change?
If the people don't wanna be blamed for what their government does, maybe they should change their government..
I agree. Isn't that what they tried to do with Mossadegh? And the US supported his imprisonment and the reinstallation of the Shah.
This is the past, but it is the fairly recent past. The Iranian people DO NOT want war and conflict, and they are too tired of the bullshit political game for another revolution. And in fact, the majority of the Iranian government, including the leader, and the head of the military, do not want conflict either. They've openly expressed this over the past number of weeks. "There will not be a war". "We do not want a war".
What they want is the USA to get back to the negotiating table, work out the nuclear deal, and for everyone to get the fuck on with their lives.
You say that as if the common people would ever stand a chance in a modern US revolution. IT's ludicrous. The US army would win in the USA without a sweat, much like the Iranian army would in Iran.
My girlfriend is Iranian. I can tell you for certain, she does NOT want her country to go to war with America. Nor do her parents. And Iran have not invaded another country in hundreds of years. They are not an aggressive state.
In fact, the most aggressive nation on this planet is the USA.
I dgaf what you THINK Iran has done: the USA supported the oppression and torture of hundreds of thousands of Iranians through SAVAK. They denied Iranians their only democratically elected leader. And they reneged on the nuclear deal that was meant to bring peace and understanding. Even while Iran were wiling to let all the past go.
The USA were voted, in a Gallup poll (an American company), as the biggest threat to world peace, by over 20,000 people from all over the world.
