i did no avocate for nothing, this is an open forum discussion among friends with different opinions on current affairs, which ever we say here will have nil to zero effects on US policy.
Of course you are advocating for military intervention - violating a country's sovereignty by controlling and/or invading the airspace of it's sovereign territory (ie a no-fly zone) is an act of military intervention, if not also military aggression.
this is NOT what i said. a deceleration of a no fly zone works in the past without any military intervention, the enforcement of which, if needed, will, question is do we have a president with presidential balls, or a one that hide behind congress walls.
Please tell me you are not so foolish as to believe that unilaterally declaring and enforcing a no-fly zone over a sovereign nation's territory is somehow a
non-military action ...
you said it, not me. in fact, as posted here a few times before, we MUST prevent this from escalating into an all out war
Dude,
It already is an all-out war - between the Assad regime and those fighting against it. That's why there are over 100,000 people dead so far.
FWIW, the way to stop it from escalating is to avoid adding additional violence - ours - to the conflict ...
again, YOU are the one to make it an Israeli problem, when, if you would have bothered to read my posts, i made it clear that this is an American problem.
ROTFLMAO ... Assad is largely an Israeli problem - not an American problem ... since, among other things, Israel is occupying Syrian territory militarily through the use of force.
The problem we Americans have (among others) is an "Obama mouth" problem ...
not an Assad problem ...
Efforts on the part of various individuals to make this an American problem are fairly transparent I think ...
it's starting to look more and more like all the usual suspects ...
still claiming. as we argued here in the past, and agreed to disagree. you claim that they hate us because we help Israel, while i claim that they hate us because we are not them. simple as that.
No - I claim that
part of why they hate is that the US is so one-sided with support of Israel and is not an "honest broker" in relations between the Israeli's and the Palestinians, and the remainder of the Arab/Islamic world.
agreed, to you, but not to me.
I ain't the only one ...
and you trust them to exposed all of Iran's weaponry?
I trust them to monitor Iran's nuclear facilities for diversion from permitted to non-permitted uses (ie weapons) ...
and i wish for the day that Israel will no more face an enemy that is dedicated to it's elimination.until that day comes Israel face immediate life threatening challenges, and should be allowed to do what it takes to secure it's survival.
Israel, to a large degree, lies in a bed of it's very own making ...
Whether it survives will be dependent on how it conducts itself going forward.
i'm not as naive to think they will stop with just that.
Well, thus far they haven't went beyond it - unlike Israel - which (according to M. Vanunu) has, and which refuses to even admit that it possesses nuclear weapons, allow international inspections, or state a clear nuclear policy ...
why on earth will they need more energy? they are seated on the worlds energy reserve.
Sovereign nations are not required to plead - hat in hand - before some arrogant, authoritarian pizz-ant body to justify their energy needs or choices ...
The Iranians have roughly less than 100 years of petroleum production (at 2006 rates) if no new sources of oil are found.
If they desire to shift towards nuclear energy, and preserve their petroleum resources as much as possible, that is certainly their right - a right which is guaranteed under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
this is not about peaceful, this is about the eliminations of other country's, US included, as they repeatedly said. and are still, as of this week saying.
Call me when you can read/speak Farsi fluently ...
can you imagine US options if Iran and Assad already have nuke capability's today?
Yes - it's largely the same option we have with Russia, China, UK, France, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel: learn to get along with each other in a peaceful and respectful manner ...
or risk perishing ...
will Obama even have a congress to hide behind? or will Iran tell him how to act?
You mean kinda like how Israel threatened Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon with the use of nuclear weapons on the third day of the 1973 Yom Kippur War,
successfully blackmailing the White House to airlift much needed supplies, as detailed in "The Sampson Option" by Seymour Hersh ?
