the US should not attack Iran

~~Rebuttals~~ My opponent has stated a rather interesting case. I will start by refutting her intro. She states that by attacking Iran we would be hurting our economy. However, I would rather disagree. It is because of our current economic situation that we should go to war with Iran. Unlike when we started the last two wars we would profit greatly from the vast resources that are in Iran. It has vast amounts of oil and natural gasses, and otherthings that we could tap into [1]. We already have a superior military [2], and allies such as Israel that would indeed help us in the war. R1: The Iranians There are ways of getting the people on our side. We have Special Forces who are trained to convince the people to join our side [3]. We can easily send propaganda to Iran that would convince many of the opponants of the Iranian government to come to their aid. Then there is the fact that unlike in Afganastan we would not be looking for one person (i.e. Osama Bin Laden). We would have clear objectives such as oil fields, military targets, and the Capital. Therefore, this not a very good reason not to go to war with Iran. R2: Nuclear Weapons already in the regionThe fact that there are nuclear weapons in the surrounding areas is irrelevant. As you stated in your argument India and Pakistan hate eachother and have nukes, yet they have not nuked eachother. Why is this? It's because no one wants to go to war besides Iran want to go to nuclear war, because they know the second they do we and our allies would have dozens of even bigger nukes there to wipe them completely off the map. As for my opponent saying: 'Iran has insisted that their impending nuclear program is for peaceful purposes'. Iran's leader's have called for the death of America and that Israel to be blown off the map [4]. The only weapons that are capable of doing this are nuclear weapons, and Iran are trying so hard to get nuclear power. R3: Pakistan and IndiaThis is irrelevant. We are talking about Iran and Israel, not India and Pakistan. Neither of those two nations have threatened to annihilate the other. Iran has to Israel and America. And they have also moved to get the capability to do so.R4: DejavuIt is not cloudy at all. The U.N. has made it perfectly clear that Iran is trying to get nukes [5]. This makes them a threat, and they should be stopped before they do exactly what they said they are going to do.~~My Argument~~C1: Ally surroundedOur ally Israel is completely surrounded. To the east They have Jordan and the Palistinians. To the west they there is Egypt and Lybia. And finally to the north is Iran, Syria, and Lebanon. What do all these countries have in common? Well they are all ran but Islamic fundamentalists, and they all hate either one of two things: Israel and America [6]. If they were attacked then they would surely be destroyed within hours. It is not just to let our friends be ganged up on by a bunch of overly religious thugs.C2: Popular Support.According to the Jerusalem Post a poll was taken up earlier this year. The results have stated that 62% Americans support a war with Iran [6]. This would be very good if a war did break out. It would be a decisive factor in getting victory over this decades old enemy that wants us all under Sharia law.C3: Economic BenefitsThere is no doubt that Iran has a vast amount of natural resources. If were to invade and succeed in attaining victory we would gain considerable economic benefit from this. Iran is rich in many things including: oil, natural gas, coal, chromium, copper, iron ore, lead, manganese, zinc, and sulfur [1]. By attaining these natural recourses we could get our economy back in ship shape.However, there is another way how to benefit economically from invading Iran. China get's most of their oil from Iran. So, if we were to attack Iran then large portion of oil would be cut off and would not reach China. When this happens it would hurt their economy since they like us depend on oil. This would hurt their job market and would bring the jobs back to America. And our economy would benefit from receiving jobs and such [7].ConclusionIn conclusion, I have proven that the U.S. has a very good reason to go to war with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I have refuted all of my opponent's claims, and have stated sources that prove my case. I have proven that we could convince the already rebelling people of Iran to support us and that the majority of Americans do in fact support a war with the terrorist state. I have proven that the U.S. could gain tremendous wealth from this. All while coming to the aid of our ally Israel.I will now await my opponent's rebuttals.[1] https://www.cia.gov...[2] http://en.wikipedia.org...[3] https://en.wikipedia.org...(United_States_Army)[4] http://news.bbc.co.uk...[5] http://www.nytimes.com...[6] http://www.jpost.com...[7] http://johnharding.com...
