3. Iran is a sovereign state run by a brutal fundamentalist Theocracy

opposed by the majority of its citizens. They've been bad actors for decades, propped up by their vast oil wealth. I don't want them to have nuclear weapons just like I don't want North Korea to have them.

We don't get to pass on this - Trump is going to drag us wherever his addled mind decides, then changes tomorrow, then changes the day after.

Our best hope is TACO.

5. Frankly, I'm Not Surprised

The right has been itching for this for years. Remember McCain and his "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran." nonsense? The fact that they railed so hard against the Obama plan that the Iranians abided by?

Iran is not only a sovereign nation, but they are a notorious bad actor in the region. They're behind a lot of the terrorist groups, including HAMAS and Hezbollah. I'm not shedding a tear for them.

9. I would like to know who here has said that Iran is a Western or Israeli colony?

I'll wait, but I suspect that I'll be waiting for a long time as I've yet to see anyone here make that claim.

And just for the record, I oppose any direct US involvement in destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Do you think a nuclear armed Iran is good for Israel? The ME? The world?

11. Soon to become a parking lot, if Rev. Ambassador NAZI Huckabee has his way.

Huckfuck said Drumpf is contemplating nuking Tehran. Bibi's got a couple hundred he said he might toss in, too.

End of the world scenarios and surprised to see so many are gung-ho for it.
