America needs to bomb Iran - opinion
2023-11-27
[Jpost] Israel experienced a preemptive attack upon its nation, which was the worst massacre in its history by Iranian proxy Hamas, carried out with Iranian arms and funded by Iran. It opened Pandora's box, forcing Israel to fight a war for its survival, knowing that without it, there would be many more attacks like October 7 or worse.

The new twenty-first-century wars are proxy wars, but they are also media wars.

ISRAEL CANNOT WIN A MEDIA WAR.

#12  Ulimble Forkbeard2690? You do realize this is a fairly educated crowd (barring myself, of course) and we know the history of the coup, Shah, Khomeini, Embassy, terrorism, killings, wymyns beaten for not wearing a Hefty Bag. What do you know? Not a bunch, it appears.

#11  It was an act of revenge, like Israel is doing to Gaza right now.

It is not revenge they're after. It's a reckoning.

#10  ^ Two wrongs don't make a right and anything you add after the recipe is ruined just makes it even worse.

#9  #5 You DO know the only reason that Iran had the Shah in the first place is that the CIA overthrew their democratic government in the 1950s, right?

These things don't just come out of nowhere. The Iranians didn't just decide one day to take hostages like that. It was an act of revenge, like Israel is doing to Gaza right now.

#7  Made in America, tested in Japan. We know the bomb will work, lets use it in Iran!
We should have bombed it into glass in 1980. Now our children are going to have to fight them.

#6  Praying Mantis was limited to proportional damage. Since then, Iran has operated mostly through proxies.

#3  Could we bomb them a little bit, just to give them a taste? Like the free samples they sometimes hand out in the grocery!

#1  Oh look, another course of action that benefits Israel and harms Americans. How unusual.

Use the three billion dollars we give you every year and start your own war, Israel. We don't want any more of out kids dying for a cause that's not their own.
