How to Prevent a War With Iran

The saber rattling and drum beating for war with Iran are getting louder and louder every day.

Unfortunately, some Evangelicals are among the loudest voices crying for war with Iran. President Ahmadinejad is worse than Hitler, according to the Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry. In the March/April 2007 issue of Israel My Glory, published by this ministry, Elwood McQuaid, the executive editor, maintains that "annihilating the Jewish state is merely a warm-up. Although the lynchpin of Ahmadinejad’s crusade is a first-strike success against his near neighbor Israel, the next move is westward to Europe and then on to finish off the hated United States."

Another piece in the same issue of Israel My Glory quotes Benjamin Netanyahu as saying that "unless the United States stops Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, America has only two to five years left." In the recent May/June 2008 issue, we see more of the same: "Replace the name Hitler with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who rants against his selected scapegoats, Israel and the Jewish people, blaming them for every iniquity and offering the only ‘acceptable’ solution: genocide and annihilation of the Jewish state. His desire is not for a 1,000-year Reich but for a global, Islamic caliphate."

The American people cannot just stop their ears and expect that all the saber rattling, drum beating, and war crying will go away after the election of a new U.S. president. We already know that John McCain – who had no problem bombing Vietnam back to the Stone Age – is a crazed warmonger. But the election of Barack Obama instead of John McCain will not mean anything different when it comes to Iran. Obama considers the danger posed by Iran to be grave and real – so much so that his goal "will be to eliminate this threat." But regardless of who occupies the U.S. presidency, there is really only one sure-fire way to prevent a war with Iran.

The fact that Iran is not a threat to the United States will not stop us from going to war. Was Iraq a threat to the United States? Was Afghanistan? Was Vietnam? Germany couldn’t cross the English Channel to invade Great Britain. How was Germany a real threat to the United States? Japan was goaded into/allowed to bomb Pearl Harbor, but was Japan really a threat to the United States? Were the Central powers a threat to the United States in 1917? Was Spain a threat to the United States in 1898? None of the many incursions of U.S. troops into other countries was because of a credible threat to the United States. To say that war with Iran is justifiable because Iran might someday possibly become a threat to the United States is ludicrous. Should we go into the ghettos of U.S. cities and jail or kill young boys because they might grow up and become a thug and possibly carjack someone?

I dont understand why the U.S has the right to say who is and who isnt supposed to have Nuclear weapons Even tho Iran doesnt have Nuclear Capability are we gonna start another War to prove that they dont?

Its all about whos got the biggest guns and thats all that seems to matter anymore. In the end, we'll all meet are fate together.

Unlike Israel who is NOT a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and DOES have illegal nukes,
Iran IS a signatory and does not have nukes. zg

How many Nations are in the treaty anyway? What did we have to give North Korea to power down? Or did they?

That's kinda surprising to me! Israel being part of the treaty, while being in posession of illegal nukes at the same time. This would seem as a breach of the treaty to me.

I guess I should go read a little more about it. But is a War against Iran Imminent or something?

Why is it I do not fear that Israel who has nuclear weapons will use them against the West, yet I do fear that Iran if they had them might use them against Israel and might use them in some terrorist capacity against the United States and/or other Western nations? Don't tell me--I've been brainwashed. Ain't it awful. I trust my enemies, those dirty rotten k*k* b*st*rds, terrorist scum, intruders, godforsaken, hateful, uninvited, d*ckscarred h*mies---and I fear my friends, those amiable, head swathed, lovers of freedom and fair play Middle Eastern brothers in peace and kindness. How did I come to such an end? How did they fool me? That dirty, rotten Bush administration with its brainwashing squads of thought and mind control police controlling all the media--newspapers, radio, magazines, television, and billboards has veiled my innocent eyes from the truth. Oh, woe is me! I have nothing left but to cling to my guns and my religion.
