Iran Should be Attacked Because...


The march toward an attack of Iran has been growing as of late, seems that the increase in the volume of this meme seems tied to electioneering more than rational discussions of policy and international law. None the less why are the proponents saying we should attack and are these reasons true or valid.

1) they are trying to get the bomb

2) they support the killing of GI's in Iraq

3) they are state sponsors of terrorism.

I've decided not to waste time with the argumentation and or debunki-fying, let's end with this:

1) dropping the bomb on Japan was necessary only to further US economic interests, not to end the war

2) Saddam Hussein accepted an offer of exile from the US before the invation which was denied by the Arab League, not the US

3) Iran helped overthrow the Taliban in 2002.
