History repeats itself, remember this?

I'm not to sure, we never confirmed that Iraq didn't have nukes, we just never found any. I believe that a big, expensive war to distract us from government debt would be a good idea at this time, it's good for morale.

Would that not add more debt to the already unmanageable debt? I think the country would be happier not going to war and fixing the mess that's going on at home. Going to war with another nation to boost morale and divert attention from internal, Government problems is what Argentina does - we don't want to copy them

Who voted yes?

Because the repercussions would be huge. Undoubtedly other countries (USA) would in turn destroy Iran as they would be far too worried about the same happening to them. That would be the worst decision Iran could possibly make.

Iran is likely to abide by MAD and would not be foolish enough to ever launch a nuke except in self-defence.

It was referring to if they were to attack, I'm not saying they will.

You were asking why they wouldn't and they wouldn't because of MAD.

Not to mention the fact that Persia hasn't attacked another nation in about 200 years.

the most ****** up part was that these guys such as Sadam were the US' and UK's best friend for a while. It's annoying how they knit-pick who to like and when they don't anymore they launch an attack. They do the same in African countries, allied with Mubarak and Ghadaffi for a while.

I like how Europe and the United States are having a moan about China having some sort of "rare earth" which they won't share. If this was happening with another country it would be all out war
The UN might as well spend all their money sending delegates to some remote island, with some bricks and mortar to build a wall and pay them handsomely to talk to it for a considerable amount of time.

Mildly off-topic, but some of the principles still apply - the west is jealous and paranoid.

And they won't even dare to do anything if the other country's better than them but would do whatever they can if the other country's weaker than them.

Until you have all the MI6 evidence it's hard to make a fully dignified judgement. So I said yes for the hell of it.

Also how can you slate Cameron for a war which hasn't happened yet?

Because David Cameron and the Conservative Party supported (and still support) both the Iraq invasion and the pointless Afghanistan conflict not to mention declaring war on Libya, along with essentially declaring economic war on Iran over the past 6 months. We now have the same scenario arising with Iran as we did with Iraq concerning claims of 'weapons of mass destruction' coming from Cameron's mouth just as it did from Blair.

I keep saying it, they all piss in the same pot.
