The latest poll shows that 64% of AMERICANS think something warlike should be done to Iran.

I am sure the figures must encompass more than a few liberals.

I say bunker bust them back into the 10th century.

My opinion has always been when a town or region became antagonistic enough that a US soldier couldn't walk down the street, we should pull back out and go back to war with that town or region until they were so tired of it that they wouldn't tolerate insurgents to be there.

Agreed 100%, but I go further....

I saw the news item recently where U.S. troops had reportedly been rounding up the wives of suspected insurgents and threatening them if the insurgents didn't cooperate. That is precisely what I think they should have been doing for quite a while. Barbaric? Perhaps, but it sends the message that if you mess with us, we'll kill you, your loved ones and everything you could ever hope to care about.

In war, you do what it takes to wipe out your enemies desire to fight. If you can do that by making a threat against friends and relatives, then you do it. Again, we are fighting an unconventional war against an unconventional enemy. I don't want to see us throw away all of our morals, but I do want to see an end to the fighting, and I want an end that guarantees the security of ourselves and our allies.

Reply By: TitanI9Posted: Thursday, February 02, 2006I happen to disagree at this juncture. We need to finish our challenges in Iraq and do some work at home. The concerns Iran presents are being dealt with through regional backdoor influences.

Disagreement is good, since I disagree with you, letting these crazed muslims get a nuke, and there whole purpose of excistence is to wipe another country off the map, and to launch an attack on america using Al quiada as a foil.

I agree in principal kingbee, but the Iranians really have grown to loove modern devices and comforts, take them away and then see if indeed the people rise up and do something.

I agree that air power would probably do the trick here. Troops on the ground are for longer term campaigns and the Iran situation doesn't seem to warrant that. Remember Qadafi in Libya? Operation El Dorado Canyon silenced his terrorist tendencies forever.

The thing is though, just like the bacteria in Iraq, you can't control what other people do in response, so if we (or some other country) does "Qadafi" Iran, we have to be prepared for a follow on mission if needed.

the longer this goes on and the more rhetoric I hear coming from the Iranians, the more I am convinced they want some kind of incident.

What "work" do we need to do at home?

Our culture has been taking a turn for the worse on many levels, as exampled by articles on JU. One that looms large in my estimation is our countries priorities, out of control budgets on many levels, and the polarization among people in how to move our country forward so all of us feel like we're making progress.

And what "regional backdoor influences" are in play, and how are they "dealing" with the concerns Iran presents?

Experience has taught me that theorizing and conjecture never has all the facts and options. That's only understood when leadership is taken over those subjects bringing access to new information, facts and big picture scenarios.

I am not privy to the added information or facts. What I can assure is behind the seen activities and influences of TWH, state department and various government agencies are in play using resources and assets on many levels, none of which would be effective if made public.
