the USS Eisenhower Carrier Battle Group doesn't make for a 'massive' build-up for war with Iran

This is not true - I am generally tolerant of the views of others, even
if they are Ahmadinejad sympathisers like you seem to be. I only label
people a "whining leftist" when they make stupid remarks like "well if
despotic regmies are so bad, why don't you overthrow every single
despotic regime in the world!?!??!". People you state these things
without taking into account the fact that some nations i.e. Iran, pose
more of a threat than other nations i.e. China.

Get it?


and then sticking your
fingers in your ears when confronted with some of the sources of today's
problems - not least America's involvement in other countries affairs
and supporting and sponsoring terrorism.


Look, I never claimed that the U.S was perfect, but it is far more a
force for good than for evil - and your sixth-grade Michael Moore logic
isn't going to change my views.


Your country doesn't have the "right" to remove ANY regime from power!


We do if it poses a threat to the U.S, as Iran clearly doesn. Iran must
be removed and will be shortly.

How do they pose a threat?

Iran wants to destroy Israel, is developing nukes, supports terrorism
and has an anti-U.S government. What don't you understand?

In the same way that Iraq did, Panama did,
Grenada did, to name but a few? Come on, please.

It was a shame that WMD were never found, but I think, quite frankly,
that most of the world has now moved on from this issue. Basically, we
couldn't leave Saddam in power in the post 9/11 world - everyone
thought he had WMD, he'd invaded his neighbours in the past and he'd
used WMD against them too.

In the post 9/11 world Saddam's government was an intolerable security
threat and it's good that he's gone, regardless of no WMD being found.
Military involvement in Grenada and Panama occured for complex reasons
but don't be fooled into thinking that, because those wars might not
have been absolutely essential, that the Iran war is not essential
either. The Iran war is necessary as long as they continue developing
nukes.
