We should to war with Iran

I'm at a debate tournament this weekend, and I have to get up ridiculously early tomorrow, so I'm not going to do a very in depth argument. 1. Better safe then sorry. I've addressed it over and over. There's absolutely no evidence to suggest Iran has nuclear capabilities. You admit it, and yet you continue to try and argue the point. Just let it go. (Oh and stop using personal opinions to back up your arguments. "If they contunie, which I ecpect them to do, we should invade. Though, they would have to have a big effect on the terrorist." It doesn't matter what you think, that has no impact on the debate.) AND, even if they did the likelihood that they would they would employ a nuclear device against the US is really amazingly low. Since the invention of the nuclear bomb in the '40s, only once has one country attacked another with a nuclear weapon. Think about it for a second. During the cold war Russia and the US were at each others throats, and there was never a nuclear strike. Tensions were much higher then than they are now. Iran would be crazy to try and engage in a nuclear war with us, we have one of the largest missile arsenals in the world. They may be able to produce enough nuclear material to make one or two warheads. We would clearly win in a fight, but that's not a reason to start a fight. 2. Holocaust. If Iran decides to commit genocide, then I'm all for stepping in. The point is they haven't. Iran hasn't tried to ethnically cleanse anything. The possibility that they may is completely hypothetical, and doesn't justify a preemptive strike. 3. Iran holding terrorists. So the problem is that we don't have the terrorists? That's completely and utterly ridiculous. Since when does the US have the right to pull prisoners to other countries and take them under our jurisdiction. We have no right to take prisoners being held by another country. And as for taking them to Guantanamo, you obviously no nothing about the US prison there. Guantanamo bay holds very few real terrorist suspects. Everything reported on the prison is that it's a black hole for human rights that holds people without charges, without evidence, and many times, without logical reason. There was a very interesting This American Life show about it. 4. Boat incident You fail to respond to my arguments on the boat incident because you don't find the BBC credible. That's ridiculous, why not just say you concede the point. 5. Current wars I know we're fighting a war. I said we're fighting a war. I also said I didn't consider the war JUST. As in, I don't think the war has basis. That's not a shot at our soldiers, the fact that you think so just reflects the ignorance of conservatives, who think that if you're a liberal you hate the military. Oh, and 'our brothers in sisters' are dying in vain. We have no reason to be in Iraq. 6. Vietnam war. Fine we didn't 'lose' the Vietnam war, we just succumbed to the tactics being used by the Vietcong and pulled out because we were being slaughtered. Call it a strategic withdrawal if it makes you feel better. 7. Economy. Why don't we ask the Fed if we face a recession? Well they have cut interest rates on an average of 1/2% a week, so they obviously think we're on the brink of a recession. 8. Putting price on safety. I'm not putting a price on safety. If a hundred billion dollars can buy us safety, then lets pay up. Unfortunately, it can't. To secure ourselves against every threat we face we would need to spend trillions of dollars, we don't have the money to do that. To think that we can be completely safe is unrealistic. 9. My Impacts. -This war will result in a loss of US soft power. -The US will face a growing threat of terror, due to the disillusion of another American occupation. -The war will cost us money which we don't have. -The war would result in a huge loss of life on both sides. -Going to war with Iran can't solve terrorism abroad. 10. What you conceded. When you fail to address my arguments, you concede the point, which means that we're in agreement. Here's what you conceded last round: You conceded my economy arguments You conceded my troop level arguments You concede the fact that if we apply "better safe than sorry" to Iran, then we have to apply it to the rest of the world. That means you agree with me. You concede the surge isn't effective Since you conceded all that, I'm not sure you have an argument. Good luck though.
