When rednecks attack 2

[xBaron Dants]

Things are getting scary once again as Bush continues his crusade against the axis of evil (which ranges from the Middle East to Eastern Asia).

With the Irak situation CLEEEEEARLY under control , Bush has been mentionning Iran quite often as of late. Of course, to keep his image of a peacekeeper, he is only mentioning diplomatic measures, but what the hell caused this fear of Iran anyways? Does it not look pre-planned?

Is a war on Iran possible? I won't even ask if you think it's justified.
A possible war on Iran could have seeeeeerious repercussions on Armenia, as Iran is one of Armenia's few good friends, and also because northern Iran is inhabited by an extremely large azeri minority.

Thoughts?

it sux to see this thread answerless...
I've just been waiting for someone to start defending the rednecks...lol
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bush moved a little northeast to invade Iran...

Yes baron, war is possible. You already know the answer to that though, and so does everyone else. Very quintessential of someone trying to receive attention.

Yes, of course...I am merely doing this because I crave attention. Why else would I ask for opinions on a discussion board?

What do you think about it though? Do you support this possible war? Is Iran perceived as a threat to the States? Why or why not?

Or do I already know the answers to these questions too?

[jahannam]

wow.. I knew it.. Surfer only shows up when we get political threads...
8) 8) 8)
even though you've always been against most of us, and you're always bashing us, it's good to see you again...
and trust me.. baron dants is the last person here who seeks attention.

Hypocrisy reigns supreme. You said you wouldnt ask if I thought it was justified. I am sure if Canada wanted to go to war against the US then maybe they would come up with reasons, and if the US wanted to fight Canada reasons could be found. This thread will only go on for 20 pages about nothing but people trying to discredit the sources of others.

To answer your question though, I have not been following the situation like the war on Iraq, and if it serves American interests then yes, we need to go to war.

What is so hard to believe about going to war for your own intrests, Jahannam? People seem to believe that the only real way to justify a war is for protection. We see WWII as a justified war because we were attacked at pearl harbor and we decided that we needed to retaliate. It seem to make more sense to me to go to war to prevent any of this from happening, rather than just reacting to what goes on around us. Most of you people just see the word war and decide that it is taboo, some far off concept that should be avoided at all costs. I say, if it is in our best intrest, we sould go to war. Its not selfish, any other group of people in our situtation would be doing the same. All the countries are damn self-centered, if you ask me.

Ah yes and if any of you call me a Bush supporter i will personally come to your house, rip off your arms, shove them up your ass, and pull them out your mouth.

Do the possible repercussions on Armenia scare you guys? What stance should Armenia take? I can't see it remaining neutral in all of this...

and who are YOU to decide whether this war is justified.
it's called 'The Just War Theory'.I dunno if you know, but it's The basic theory to evaluate the legitimacy of military action. it's been accepted both within Western culture and in the international community as means to determine whether or not a certain war is just. and it's nothing new. it dates back to the Roman times.but anyway...
the three requirements of this theory are:
-just cause
-competent authority
-right intention
so basically.. you have to prove the US meets ALL three requirements in order for a war on Iran to be just.lets start with #1.
Just cause has generally been understood to mean self-defense.in this case, the United States obviously does not meet the just cause requirement because as we all know, it's Terrorism the US is claiming they're fighting. They don't need to defend themselves from the Persian government, since Iran has in no way harmed the United States. oh wait... you were saying something about precaution and "preventing" harm "from happening"???
oh so lets go to every country in the world, and declare war, cuz our instincts are telling us that everyone's about to attack us? how lame is that?
Anyway. as mentioned above, Just Cause is only the first requirement and it hasn't been met. and I don't even wanna bore you with the latter 2. a U.S military action against Iran would fail to meet all the requirements, therefore, would be unjust.

sorry about the long read. you guys could bash as much as u want. I just love the fact that I recently discovered this theory while sipping on an iced tea at Barnes and Nobles. hehe.
