Iran's Nuclear Plans

[regular.joe]

I say we take them at their word, they are not developing nuclear weapons.

Then in a couple of years, if they should end up with nuclear weapons we crush their nuts in a vice. I'd bet we would get lots of support for using the vice.

More relevant is what is required to justify a war. Because those basic rules were violated, then Vietnam was a massive defeat. Because the US stayed out of WWII until those conditions were met, then the victory was massive. Becauase those rules were violated, the US wasted thousands of American soldiers and $trillions on Mission Accomplished for no gain.

Netanyahu is justifying war by violating basic concepts. His niave and extremist rhetoric also explained an Israeli disaster in their last Lebanon invasion. And explains a resulting disaster for Israel if he unilaterally "Pearl Harbors" Iran.

First requirement to justify war: a smoking gun. An attack on Iran can only be justified by a smoking gun such as the WTC or Pearl Harbor. Unilaterally attacking justified only by fear is what backwater dictatorships, wacko extremists, and losers do.
