This is a time to be engaging with the world, not withdrawing from it.

I could do without playing the role of sugar daddy. That doesn't mean you have to "withdrawal" from the world. A purchased friend will never respect you. We are weakening ourselves at home. Make your bed before you leave.

Being sugar daddy for corrupt Arab governments is one thing, but the richest country in the world helping modernize poor local economies would be something very different. I don't know about friends, but we'd create customers and workers.

That is illogical. Do you really think we are in a position to go out and modernize the rest of the world? Create customers and workers? We are country of consumers now, not producers. We are doing exactly what our founders warned us to stay away from. We need to concentrate our efforts at home. An indefinite hand out only exacerbates the problem.

Iran is building roads in Afghanistan. I think that is a brilliant investment. I don't see that as putting Iran's economy or foreign policy at any great risk.

They are building roads in Afghanistan for free? Otherwise I don't see how that qualifies as aid.

Since 2002, Tehran has pumped millions of dollars into Afghanistan's western provinces to build roads, electrical grids, schools and health clinics. On top of this, Iranian agents are dumping bags of cash in the laps of tribal leaders in Afghanistan's west, a State Department official tells TIME, "clearly intended to purchase influence and remind them: The Americans may be here for 10 or 20 years, but we will be here forever."

the reason iran shouldn't have nuclear weapons is because they will use them to attack israel, and not as a deterrent.  that is the only reason the other countries who have nukes are not under intense international pressure.

IRAN WANTS NUCLEAR POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oil prices are going down, the world wants an alternative and the oil rich countries need to adapt to these changes, and that alternative is NUCLEAR POWER!!!!!!

the more you look at the EVIDENCE and not propaganda you realise Iran wants the technology, not weapons.

I agree with rammunition. If Israel carries out an airstrike on Iranian nuclear weapons facilities, a fair penalty would be for all Israeli children and their parents to die.

i am glad you agree

Besides stopping a Nuclear Missile program and shutting Iran up what does the US benefit from going into war with Iran?

Good question...  a question that won't likely be answered by the "support Israel no matter what" folks.

stopping their nuke plan is the only reason i know of... I don't think anyone want's to go to war with Iran for the heck of it...

We can only hope...

Still, it is pretty hypocritical to expect Iran to end its nuclear research as long as Israel has nukes.

Err, Pubic m8 I know this is Ramm but your assumption about him is incorrect.

Israel has a population consisting of not just jews, but christians and muslims too. If he wanted to systematically wipe out the Jewish population of the world he'd have to not just kill anybody of the jewish religion, he'd also have to burn most major ancient history texts and destroy all existing copies of the Tanakh, Talmud and the Zohar. I think that's the three main texts or w/e they use anyway.

reda what i said, i stated Iran should wipe Israel off if they attack them, in retaliation that is fine, the fate of Israel is in their own hands

Wipe Israel from the map = zionist regime vanishing from the pages of time so the jews and arabs can live in peace in Palestine like they live in peace in the beautiful country of Iran.

Nobody talk about mass extermination of human beings here.. you all watch too much TV.
