Face Off: Should the U.S. Attack Iran Before January 20?
“Attacking Iran militarily would be idiocy. It would only serve to unite the Iranian people behind their otherwise doomed regime.”
Evidence please!
The MYTH that the people of Iran are NOT behind the mullahs needs to be examined. Iran has the same Urban/Rural divide that all other nations do. The Urban Iranians are not real keen on the Mullahs, but out in the rural area, Allah is great. Allah is good. The Mullahs rule.
Nothing the US does will change any opinions on either side. If that was possible, don’t you think we would do it here first to end the Urban/Rural, Red/Blue divide in America?
And if attacking Iran does get the City slickers behind the Mullahs, SO WHAT? It’s not like the urban types are capable of overthrowing the government in the first place, so we have nothing to lose here.
As far as Iran cutting off OIL to China, SO WHAT? That is China’s problem, NOT America’s. If China wasn’t protecting Iran at the UN, there would be no need to bomb Iran. If China protecting Iran causes us to bomb Iran, then China needs to suffer too.
There is a way to use diplomacy to box in the MDM.
The USA should withdraw from the NPT. Nothing lost there, since it has been violated more times then Madonna. 6 Months after withdrawing from the NPT, the USA will be able to sell nukes to anybody it wants to. THAT is when we go to China and Russia and give them the chance to get on board with JOINT military action against Iran (regime change) or watch the USA sell all their neighbors nuclear weapons.
Give Puttie the choice between helping with regime change in Iran or seeing the USA sell Poland and/or Germany 50 nukes and guess which one he will pick.
You think China won’t get real helpful if we offer Taiwan 2 boomers complete with SLBM’s and MIRV’s?
If you think about it, Tyrants and Despots having nukes while peaceful democracies don’t is such a wacked out idea that ONLY the Department of State could produce it.
