We do, but we don't attack anyone, it is only as deterrant to any country that would consider attacking the US or our allies. Are you really so dense to believe otherwise?

For the sake of preventing yet another war for Israel's sake, let's hope Mr. Burgess' assessment is accurate.

CHORUS

The people of America and Iran really do like each other, but their leaders need a feared enemy to rail against. Iran can do us no harm, but there is no money to be made in that.

That's not saying much since there are US installations so close to the Iranian border that you could hit them with a rock from the Iranian side. We practically have Iran surrounded with military installations. Who is threatening whom?

Of course they could. Nearly anyone could. We have bases in over 120 countries around the world. What a news flash... good job USNews.

Since becoming an Islamic Republic in 1979, Iran has not invaded or tried to conquer anyone. Neither the US nor Israel can make the same claim.
It does not matter what Iran is able to do, what matters is what they actually do, and Iran is not going to fling missiles at anyone unless it is in self-defense, because such missiles (or the highly propagandized "Iranian" terror attack) would justify the Iran is trying to avoid.

Is the sky falling too?

ray of MN 9:21AM February 17, 2012

official intelligence reports are not published in the press. this is a fake story. who benefits from war?

john of IA 9:17AM February 17, 2012

it is simple they have launched satellites into space....they have the ability to launch a rocket at the United States. not accurately.... but they can do it right now. But The Obama can talk them out of it....he's a harvard educated street organizer you know.
