the US should not attack Iran

~~Defense~~D1: Ally SurroundedMy opponent is basically stating that we should just let Iran and it's allies go into Israel and start a second holocaust. She states we should just use diplomatic solutions with the Arabs. However, what my oppenent apparently doesn't know is that we have been seeking diplomatic solutions for a long time and we have know progress thus far. The UN has placed a number of sanctions on Iran [1], and all of them have failed [2] [3]. It is because of this that we should actually notice that Iran doesn't want peace. They have shown that they want both America and our ally Israel destroyed, and they are working aggressivily to attain the means to do so as I stated in the last round. Therefore, since we and the UN have tried so hard for yours to come up with a peaceful solution and have failed to attain any sort of peace, then we should use the considerable resources at our despossal and attack Iran while they do not have nukes. My contention still stands.D2: Popular SupportActually, according to a pole that was taken 3 days ago says that the majority of Americans do want a war with Iran [4]. While, fifty percent of the Americans that voted against a war say that they would support a war with Iran after all peaceful measures had been exhausted [5]. Even Obama himself is in support for a war with Iran if peaceful means had been used up [6]. Even though Israel is divided on the issue. If America does intervene over sixty percent of Israelis would support the attack. As I stated in my defense of my first contention we have used up all peaceful means and Iran is standing defiant against the UN. Therefore, we must attack. My second contention still stands.D3: Economic BenefitsYes but the situation in Iraq was different. The people of Iraq liked Suddam Hussein. However, in Iran the people have a fierce hatred for the regime. We saw this when then Iranians started protesting their last elections (side note: they were violently disperced) [7]. If we attack their government then they will surely see us as friends.However, it doesn't even matter if they would want us there or not because we need something to stimulate our economy so we can get out of debt. David Broder from the Washington Post has this to say about this subject: Look back at FDR and the Great Depression. What finally resolved that economic crisis? World War II.Here is where Obama is likely to prevail. With strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran’s ambition to become a nuclear power, he can spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the mullahs. This will help him politically because the opposition party will be urging him on. And as tensions rise and we accelerate preparations for war, the economy will improve. “I am not suggesting, of course, that the president incite a war to get reelected,” Broder qualifies. “But the nation will rally around Obama because Iran is the greatest threat to the world in the young century.” [8].Now notice that he mentions FDR and WW2. This is because back before WW2 we were in the worst economic depression we had ever experieced, but by the time WW2 was over our economy was the strongest in the world. So, it is logical to conclude that war can be used as an economic stimulate. Therefore, for yje sake of our economy we should attack Iran.Also, even if China did back Iran up they would be no match for our battle tested troops state of the art equipment. We have better tanks, rifles, troops, aircraft, and missle technology. We would quickly defeat them [9] [10].~~Rebuutal~~Iran has already violated a number of UN imposed sanctions. I highly doubt that the UN could ever do anything if we intervened in Iran especially since Canada just announced that they would back Israel against Iran [11].Also, note that my opponent has not defended one of her arguments. Which is basically admitting to defeat until she properly defends her claims.I thank opponent for her response, and now I will await her reponse.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org...[2] http://news.nationalpost.com...[3] http://jn1.tv...[4] http://www.pollingreport.com...[5] http://www.politico.com...[6] http://www.jpost.com......[7] http://en.wikipedia.org...[8] http://www.rawstory.com...[9] http://en.wikipedia.org...[10] https://en.wikipedia.org...[11] http://www.thestar.com...
