Can the White House intimidate Iran?

[markjayaweera]

US should stop behaving towards Iran like Britain did towards China in the Imperialist Opium wars of the 19th Century. I say NO to IMPERIALISM in the world. US should learn from the Chinese. China extremely powerful nation but doesn't interfere in the affairs of other nations. I think it is part of the Chinese Psyche.

The US dollar bills will be used as toilet papers in a matter of months.

[Markennz]

I wouldn't say months now but if things don't change the currency is going to be in big trouble in a manner of a few years, this is just the beginning.

america is the most aggressive nation on earth, killing masses for economic growth. It will take a china-russian alliance to shut america up, and hopefully Iran will attain it.

well how do you think we feel about the fact that if you accidentally nuked yourself, you'd think we did it...and retalitate anyways, the only solution is for you to meet the WORLDS demands, and you'll get your economic benefits...no one wants war except your govt and they will find they don't want it as soon as it starts....and then the only thing left suffering are our troops and our families, we don't want to persecute a holy land

If you think there is jihadi terrorism now, just wait til the US bombs the crap out of Mecca...

Iran has had essentially the same contiguous borders for over 10 generations, and in that time has never left them to attack anybody....

[AetiusRomulous]

...With the US invasion of its modern, traditional enemy Iraq and the subsequent destabilization that has brought to regional power, Iran finds itself the most monolithic and stable nation in the Middle East. It is now determined to use that new found power to ensure the continued safety of its Persian peoples for another 60 generations if it can

[AetiusRomulous]

....... Viewed through the lens of the traditional Soviet model of defence through the establishment of surrounding "buffer" nations to blunt any future attack, Irans current posture is quite understandable. It wants to ensure that any future Western attack will have to come through Iraq, and hopes the battle will be faught there instead of in persia itself.

Afghanistan... Iraq... now Iran? What is wrong with Bush?

[SushiSyogun]

and they also funded the coup on Venezuela

[clusterbombcocks]

[jimisback]
