In reply to the discussion: U.S., Israel considering joint 'surgical strike' on Iran's nuclear facilities [View all]clydefrand
(4,325 posts)21. No more damn wars!
anywhere unless we are in danger.
Are we in danger now that Iran will be attacking us?
Have they said they will attack us and why they want to?
Are the nuclear weapons just for Israel?
Why do we keep talking about attacking them because they have nuclear weapons? We have had them for many years. We have more than they have or will get.
I have a feeling that most people in Iran don't even know what a nuclear weapon is. Now they are being punished by the embargo, while the rich are living well.
WHY CAN'T WE JUST GET ALONG?

I call bs. I wouldn't doubt that a scenario for this is in the Pentagon's files....
