A war against Iran would accomlish only one thing for the american people.

It would create more hatred toward us. More hatred = more "terrorists"

The fact that we've been over in the middle east stirring up trouble for more than half a decade is the reason terrorists want to attack us.

Going in and attacking the middle east more is only going to make the problem worse...that is unless we manage to kill everyone over there...in that case the rest of the world would hate us (more than they already do) and we would then end up going to war with them.

Killing terrorists makes about as much sense as killing misquitos with a fly swatter to end malaria.

unfortunatly, alot of the damage has already been done, if we stop everything and end any and all operations in the middle east, it wouldn't make them like us. Basically we are completely fucked if we stay and keep fighting over there, and merely screwed if we don't.

Imagine if china was building military bases in the United states and killing our leaders etc...do you think we'd just sit by and let them do that?

The problem can only be fixed by a foreign policy that supports non-intervention on other countries affairs (the principals America was founded on). We can't lead and police the world at the end of a gun barrel. We can only lead by example.
