Iran has for years being supplying Islamic terrorist groups with weapons including Shia militias in Iraq smuggling many tons of weapons across the border into that country. It has also refused at every point to stop its nuclear programme and is now only months away from being able to produce an atomic bomb.

It is time the world community got tough and stood up to this bandit state and demanded it stop immediatly supplying terroists with weapons and halted its nuclear programme or face very serious consequences such as invasion by a massive UN or NATO force to achieve those aims of disarmament and ending the supply of weapons to terrorists,

er...the british establishment have been supplying british terrorists with weapons etc for years in the north of ireland

the british also supplied saddam husseins regime...do you think we should bomb british cities too??

get a grip, stonecastle...war is not the answer...

I hate it when people become victim of propaganda and even spread it further amongst other people.

I think US agression is far more worrying, you only need to look at how many carriers they have, any nation that has one is considered a considerable military force, britain for example have like 2/3, US have 12/13 active all over the world. Their military power and capabilities is quite shocking and when you think who is in control of it i believe everyone has to be a little bit worried.

Them dates from memory?

If so I might be able to advise you on your topic of discussion on dates.

youre a bit premature implying that these conflicts are settled, america has a long way to go yet...if youre so gung ho about war, why dont you enlist in the armed forces?

StoneCastle you left out two pretty infamous wars, Korea, and Vietnam. In both wars the States got involved because it was fighting the soviet Union by proxy. At the very least Vietnam was screwed up because the US backed a tyrant in the South who paid enough lip service to democracy to satisfy them.

I also remember the American Invasion of canada soon after the American war of Independence. Ye kicked them out of it pretty quickly.

As for the case of war being made by Iran...... well ..... what can i say, but remember the BS surrounding the WMD's, also more importantly if the global war on terror is so important to the security of the world, why has Osama Bin laden been forgotten about?

OK I will comment on Korea and Vietnam. In Korea America joined on the side of South Korea to protect that country from invasion by communist North Korea. Given the dreadful state of North Korea I think their decision was right. North Korea is a backward, impoverished dictatorship while South Korea is a prosperous democracy.

In Vietnam a similar thing happened. America intervened to defend a democracy, South Vietnam from invasion by a communist dictatorship. Sadly it lost. The result was horrific for the South Vietnamese who suffered terror, torture and imprisonment by the conquering North Vietnamese communists. Do you not remember the Vietnam boat people? One million refugees fled Vietnam after the victory by the communist Vietcong.

Your right in everything except that south vietnam wasn't a democracy. The leader was an anti- soviet ally, nothing more. In that case the US backed the wrong horse.
