If we wanted to free the country from its evil dictator we could do that with unmanned drones. That would be patriotic and something to be proud of.
If we go to war with a country for their resources it's not patriotic to be behind it. Think of all the useless loss of life that will be incurred by a war with Iran. Innocent people, dead. For what?
Yep, Iran's leader is a dumb ass. I hope you're all safe and while I'm not a fan of the current administration, I completely understand you have your orders and you're there for me. I don't typically get all patriotic, but seeing two carrier fleets together off the cost of Iran just makes me proud.
Except Iran doesn´t have an evil dictator, they have an elected president, just like the U.S.

And people, this is EXACTLY WHY they will start a war with Iran.
So that people will rally around the flag when the war begins, no matter how wrong the war is.

Except the president, like in the US, doesn't control squat, the mullahs do. In the US, it's the bankers. Bankers, Mullahs, same thing really.edit on 13-1-2012 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)

If Iran did do something stupid...this would hardly be turned into WWIII. It would be a skirmish with the Iranians loosing their Navy and Airforce as well as alot of Military installations.
If anyone here thinks that China or Russia is going to get involved in retaliation to help Iran....think again! The only way the U.S. would attack is if Iran actually tried to close the straight. If they attempted that....the world would turn against them and the U.S. Fifth Fleet would end that threat permanently.

You miss my point which was yet another psychotic, 'patriotic' american thinks it's a good idea for their military to be where it does not belong and is not welcome.
