The domino theory has no good empirical evidence to back it up.
Slaughtering hundreds or thousands of people is generally a bad thing.
Trading with groups outside of your own political unit is a little more risky than domestic trade. Loss is part of the territory.
Iran has every reason to fear the west and the US in particular - The history of bloodshed between the parties in modern times was started by the west.
Moral-high-groundism is laughable coming from empire America hawks.
Depends on your goals. If your goal is to divert attention away from the shoddy construction of your position, you should divert attention onto the form of my replies. If you are interested in something besides petty ego games you won't get your panties twisted about presentation, but rather focus on the substance of my claims.

Why should anyone treat you with anything other than insults, when you clearly cannot engage in polite discussion?

What is your argument, you obnoxious fuck?

1. Negative. Nations do exist. Atomism is retarded.
2. Duh.
3. Of course.
4. No kidding.
5. That's an argument? I fail to see any chain of connection or any conclusion.
6. Hypocrisy is usually most painful to those who the hypocrite harms.

@blackacidlizzard
Let me understand your argument explicitly.
1. Nations do not exist, only individuals do.
2. There are unfortunate, innocent individuals in Iran.
3. Some of these blameless people do not want harm done to them via US invasion.
4. If the US invades Iran, some of these innocent people will be hurt or killed.
Is that a mis-characterization of your argument against war in Iran? Please let me know.

"God, I wish stupidity and hypocrisy were painful."
If it were--and in the long-term it is--a slithery libertarian blobs have grim prospects.

Where did I promote violence, death and suffering? YOU are promoting it by wanting to sustain the status quo in Iran.

Again. The promoter of violence, death, and suffering on a massive scale calls me "malicious."
God, I wish stupidity and hypocrisy were painful.
