Are you willing to pay 10, 11, or 12 dollar a gallon gas to satisfy Bush's war lust with Iran?

Question

Also are we willing to Risk our troops in Iraq when Iran sends over 200,000 troops into the country?

Answer 1

No, I'm not and if he attacks after the election, we should have him arrested.

Answer 2

Did you know that it is legal for Americans to visit Iran as a tourist, and that the country is peaceful and they like Americans there? You can find tourist information at:



http://www.irpedia.com/



In the Iran - Iraq war in the 1980's, we sided with Iraq, and gave weapons to our former ally, Saddam Hussein. - As a result, half a million Iranians were killed. It is amazing that they still like us.



See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._support_for_Iraq_during_the_Iran-Iraq_war



So far, we have invaded two of Iran's neighbors, Iraq and Afghanistan. We don't invade countries that have Nukes- even Islamic countries such as Pakistan or India (which has a large Islamic population.) - It should be no surprise if it turns out that there are a few people in Iran who would feel safer if they had one.



Regarding the statements of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, first of all he is a little wacky and he is not really in control of the country. The mullahs are. Second, he hasn't threatened to attack Israel. He did say that he believed Israel should cease to exist - but he proposed that everybody in the area which the Arabs call Palestine should be able to vote on the future of the region. - Since Arabs populations are growing more rapidly than the Jewish population, if Israel allowed such a "One state" solution, Israel eventually could be voted out existence. Third, some of the things he has said, may be part of a strategy to keep oil prices high. - If people worry that the supply will be interrupted, they will pay more. Fourth, most Iranians don't want to commit suicide - They know Israel has nukes. They would be crazy to start a war.



See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad

But to answer your question specifically, I don't think there is a good reason to go to war with Iran, regardless of what it might do to the price of gas - but you are right --a war would badly interrupt supplies.

Answer 3

you're a mis tell. If Saddam had his way and what Iran is making an attempt to do, we will be paying 20 funds a gallon. Iran, Iraq, and Venezuela already needs to promote oil to China, India and Russia and reduce decrease back the elements to the US. Are you blind? Do you actually imagine we are getting all that oil earlier because those international locations love us? No they were afraid individuals. convinced we dictate and police OPEC yet when we loose our elements, it stands proud because the top of the yankee civilization as all of us comprehend it. You youthful human beings more beneficial powerful stop performing like cowards and stop complaining and look into the large photo first. usa change into not equipped on peace. Bloodshed continuously take position to kind and guard an excellent united states of america.

Answer 4

We already know that Iraq has long range missiles - are you willing to allow them to equip them with cluster bomb nuclear war heads?

With sufficient air support, it wouldn't be an issue for our troops if Iran sent half a million troops into Iraq - it would be an Iraqi mass suicide mission.

I sincerely hope that this crisis can be settled without a major military strike - for the sake of the Iranian citizens and America.

Answer 5

first of all, you must be ignorant.

Since when has gas been 10-12 dollars a gallon?

The gas prices arent just rising because of the war, they would rise regardless.

If you had any clue as to why we are over there, besides the common "we want oil" thing, then yes it is worth risking our troops. the terrorist groups are not anywhere near as powerful or well trained as our troops; we have the upperhand.

Im not all for the war to begin with, but now that its started, it is worth it. try talking to any ranking personell in the military and they will tell you they are glad, and proud, to be over there doing what they are doing.

Try getting an education before posing any political question will you?

Answer 6

I didn't think we exported oil from Iran, i thought it was Saudi Arabia, Columbia, Canada and what not. And the only reason that it would go that high is if they see that we will pay 12 dollars for gas, if we just stop buying it, it will plummet back down to 2-3$ or the companies will go out of business, but as long as people like their hummers, then it will stay up.



To your second question, no, enough American blood has been lost in Iraq, their is no reason to loose more people in Iran(especially since Iran can actually defend itself). But if we did invade, it would probably be a preemptive strike with the support of the entire Israeli army and any competent Iranian General would go on the defense and prepare for a large invasion and dig in, rather than go out against a superior armed and larger force.

Answer 7

Who gives a rats A$$? You can't even get your facts straight. What ever oil doesn't get shipped to the US, China WILL buy. So, your argument is pretty lame. Try to get a global understanding of the world market. The war isn't about oil. Both parties are to blame for the high cost of oil. It's yours mine and our politicians who are at fault. They have been at fault for the past 30 years. Do you exercise your stupidity to show your strength of stupidity?

Answer 8

First off if Iran attacks Israel or our country what do you want to happen?? Do you want to congradulate them or attack and destroy their government and leaders. We hate Iran and we need to have some military action against that terrible country. Also I supporty president Bush if everything he has done for his country. If Clinton was in the White House at this time gas would be at $100 a gallon and we be at war with Iraq, Iran, Cuba, Russia, and every other country since clinton was a complete buffoon.



GO RUSH LIMBAUGH AND SEAN HANNITY!!!

Answer 9

Sure, I already pay way too much in taxes to help fund the Welfare, Medicaid, WIC, Financial Aid and other public assistance programs. At least if I'm paying $10.00 a gallon for gas it's going in MY car not to some low life that's not willing to get a job and wants to sit around collecting welfare forever.

Answer 10

Let me type slowly so you can understand......do you think that the little wacko running Iran could successfully stop our navy? It would take about 4 hours for us to sink his block aide....and his army like the army of Iraq is a joke......

Answer 11

Are troops are great, and I pray for a safe return to all,But that is ridiculous. I would rather ride my bike and just donate to the troops!



To Cecil: Yes, I am sick of war also. But, Bush got us into this mess, if we leave now, most likely the terrorist will come here and attack us, our troops are there so we can keep the war out of North America.

Answer 12

No. And if that maniac does start one, you may as well become resigned to World War Three. There's a reason that all of the other intelligent administrations throughout the years made damn sure that nothing too drastic happened in the region. The entire WORLD depends on the oil from that very small piece of real estate on this planet.



It'll be a real sign of how insane the man really is if he does. Ever see the Dead Zone? Bush will turn out to be like the President Martin Sheen played. I'm going to be very happy when these Republican scumbag religious zealots get the hell out of my White House.

Answer 13

Yes i think because i can do nothing.....our era is full of technology we use fuel to powered it u...using gas is within our lifestyle, our society, our civilization till the end of the world....USA and those who become the leader of it will influence our life...wether we like it or not..its a curse they grab the world coz their most insecure superpower of history....an indirect terrorist....God knows what will be our fate...come what may.....i don't hate americans coz their human being just like the rest but what make the word disgusted is the policy of each respective leaders handling US...

Answer 14

It is not Bush's fault the price of oil is where it is. If it was not for the tree huggers we would not have to worry about oil. I believe in a clean air and the water and the wild animals. But please, have you seen the park where they drilled in Alaska? The animals love it.The problem goes further up than politics.

Answer 15

Why are you making excuses for not going to war? Why is it Bush's fault when Iran uses a show of force to scare other countries? Do you honestly think the missiles they test fired today couldn't hold the nuke they are trying to develop? I'll ride a bike to work if it means we don't have millions dead from a nuclear missile fired by terrorists.

Answer 16

Absolutely not- if I can help it! Problem is that I live where there in not a lot of public transportation and I need to drive to get to work...but that would be all that I would use it for! I bike and walk to whatever I can these days. This is ridiculous!

Answer 17

If we don't hurry up and destroy Iran now, we won't be able to have those prices. It'll all work out in the long run. Those prices will force Americans and the world to redefine conservation.

Answer 18

OPEN UP OUR OIL THAT IS UNTAPPED AND CHARGE IT A HIGH PRICE BECAUSE OF THE FAT A&& PEOPLE THAT EAT SO MUCH THEY CAN'T BUCKLE THEIR SEAT BELTS. AL GORE AND HIS GREENIE WEENIES ARE JUST THAT AND IT IS TYPICAL LIBERAL THINKING!! I HAVE A CAR AND WALK TO THE GROCERY STORE BECAUSE EXCERSISE IS GOOD FOR YOU AND QUIT BLAMING BUSH BECAUSE SOME OF YOU PEOPLE WOULD BE SCARY AS PRESIDENT! GET OFF YOUR FAT LAZY A&& AND WORK AND QUIT DRIVING LIKE AN EFFEN AMBULANCE DRIVER!!!! I GOT HOME AND WAS STRESSED OUT FOR TRYING TO CROSS AN EFFEN STREET!!! YEAH I AM IN FAVOR OF HIGHER GAS PRICES TO GET THESE OUT OF CONTROL DRIVERS TO GET A CLUE!!!

Answer 19

if you think the war is the only reason for high oil prices, then your as dumb as your question.

its all about a bunch of rich ****ers and speculation.

watch a finacial channel from time to time

Answer 20

Al, you are being intimidated,, talk about scare tactics! If that ever happened how long do you think they will be able to hold it? lol

Answer 21

Get a grip. He's not going to do anything unless Iran does something stupid.



Enough with the rhetoric. Using scare tactics was supposed to be a Republican thing remember?

Answer 22

all he had too do was close there borders

on Iran, we be safe and we would costed

all that money, no one would of died,

all would long been forgotten, bush said he is

sorry he got the wrong info!! miss bush

said he drinks too much,

Answer 23

Yes. I am. Apparently the people who were elected to represent me in DC approve of everything Bush recommends.



So if the Repub and Dem reps agree with Bush and vote to support every policy of his, who am I too stop them?

Answer 24

I can bike; " Yes, our car is our wheelchair." Rage Against The Machine is accurate.

Answer 25

We better be ready for that. McCain has been a big supporter of Dubya's foreign policy and has made some alarming remarks about "bombing Iran."

Answer 26

we need are troops home, havent we spent enough time over there, we got Sodam....why are we there now. I hate war.

Answer 27

No. If he does this, there would be no doubt that this man is insane.

Answer 28

hell no! btw there's more to the high gas prices than the war (not justifying the war AT ALL) im just saying....but yeah hell no **** bush!
