You mean you do not think it is a good idea to spend a trillion dollars on a war with Iran? What planet do you live on? Do you realize the appeal that Iran has for the oppressed people of such places as Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Palestine? If Iran is not squashed these people might rise up and object to US policies, and then where will we be? It is not the military threat that Iran represents, it is the political threat that is dangerous, so they have to be squashed and borrowing a trillion dollars from China to conduct a war against Iran seems like a sensible way to do it, if we want to spread American values across the Middle East.

Iran has much more to fear from the warmongering neocons, Evangelicals, and Obama (Bush on steroids) than Israel does from Iran.
