: Should the free world put together a military force to invade Iran?
If Bush wants to see his approval ratings drop down into the single digits, sure, then invade Iran.
We need diplomacy in this regard, not invasion...invading Iran would be absolutely the dumbest, stupidest thing our nation has ever done.
Why would Iran even want the bomb?
one 4-letter word...FEAR.
They see the U.S. attacking neighbors like Afghanistan and Iraq and know they could be next. Our foreign policy is literally forcing Iran to pursue the bomb. We armed Iraq in the past, expressly for keeping Iran in check. Why should they want to negoiate with the U.S.? The 'free world' doesn't need a united military force, it needs a united diplomatic force.
Besides, if Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons, does anyone doubt that Israel will wage a pre-emptive attack on Iran's facilities...with or without U.S. approval?
Bush would have to be an idiot to get us embroiled in a mess with Iran now. If I could only hold my breath and keep my fingers crossed until Jan, 20th, 2009, when this spoiled little rich kid, who has failed at every facet of his life, is a fading memory in the minds of freedom loving Americans.
