Why are liberals against a potential war with Iran? The regime in Tehran must be taken out now.

Why is the world against a war with the US? The regime in the DC must be taken out now. The US has large stockpiles of chemical weapons and is the only nation that has used nuclear weapons to kill civilians. The CIA has supported despots, Islamists and anti-democracy rebels for the better part of the past 70 years. It still refuses to close down Guantanamo Bay, renounced torture, and militarizes its police, resulting in numerous shooting incidents involved unarmed citizens. The current regime is also trying its hardest to destabilize t… (more) |

All the evidence to support the claim of weapons of mass destruction turned out to be fabricated, and the war itself ended up destabilising the Middle East, creating a lot of hostility in the world, both of which contributed to the creation of ISIS, and of course the war plunged the US deep into deb… (more) |

We should invade Iran. Then a trillion or two dollars later we'll have killed 100,000 people and nothing will have changed. The country and the region will still be full of the same extremist groups.

(I have no shortage of answers on U.S. politics, economics, and related topics if you want to draw your own conclusions about what I am.) My answer does not intrinsically mean that people who embrace different labels disagree with me.Iran will shut down the Strait of Hormuz and lay mines, shutting down all commercial traffic in and out of the Persian Gulf. That will have serious global consequences.Russia, China, and even France h… (more) |

The American people. Not only your soldiers will die but the war will cost so instead of getting new roads, new schools and healthcare you will get death. Remember Iraq? Iran is the only predominantly Shia country in the world. That’s a different belief system than Sunni Islam which is currently the largest terrorist source in the Arab world (Isis, Al kaida, Indonesian terrorists). You want to antagonize not half but all of the Muslim world? Iran used to support terrorist groups but now their support has waned. Yes they still probably due to int… (more) |

I guess I will start with your 3 reason for why you think we should go to war. First of all I am not a liberal and am a member of the Republican party. I know almost as many Iraninans as I do Americans. I am not opposed to war. However I am opposed to pointless war. - Iran is building nuclear weapons and already have chemical weapons There is absolutely no evidence to support that statement. First of all weapons grade uranium needs to be enriched to roughly 90%. Iran's uranium is at around 3 and a half percent. I know you co… (more) |

I really tried, I don’t get it. |

The first question, the very first question, that we need to ask in the event of planning an invasion is, “What are the most likely consequences of invading this country?” Real conservatives ask this question because they want to be careful before doing something drastic. War is drastic. Liberals ask this question because we want to know the costs and consequences. We want to avoid drastically bad human consequences as much as possible. War has some pretty bad consequences. Most of the current right-wing doesn’t seem to care ab… (more) |

I presume the context of the question pertains to conservative critics of the recent nuclear deal with Iran negotiated by the Obama administration, Russia, the UK, China, France, Germany, and the European Union. Rather than rely on the sanctions mechanism of this agreement, American conservatives, led by the warmonger Benjamin Netanyahu, seem to believe that you can remove the threat of Iran making a nuclear bomb through military action, especially airstrikes. Of course, it is not clear to anyone except American conservatives that military action w… (more) |

I hate to quote a stupid movie but at the end of “Matrix 3” one character says to another, “And how long do you think this peace will last?” to which the other replies, “As long as it can.” Isaac Asimov once said, “The man who turns to violence is the man who has run out ideas.” But oh, fuck it. Who is going to fight this war of yours? The US and who else? I doubt very few, if any, other nations would sign up for a war with Iran. Why should they?

It will be very expensive. There will be many casualties if Iran uses its weapons of mass destruction, but there are 300 million Americans and only 80 million Iranians, so we can surely kick ’em to the curb. Then what? We just recently found out that there aren’t enough soldiers to guard every Iraqi. It’ll be just the same with Iran. We could just walk away, like we more-or-less did with Iraq and Afghanistan (yes, I know US troops are still fighting and dying in these places, but the total numbers are small). And what will we get? The Taliban coming back … (more) |

During the election, we heard “Hillary Clinton is a warhawk. Elect her, and we’ll be at war with Iran tout de suite.” I didn’t believe that she would do this, because it wouldn’t make sense. But Donald “why not use nuclear weapons” Trump always came across as aggressive to other countries. I knew he’d at least bring the US to the brink of war, and here we are. And those who said “War is bad” when they pointed at Clinton are now saying “War is good” when they point at Trump. For the … (more) |

The regime in Tehran must be taken out now. Iran is building nuclear weapons and already has chemical weapons. Iran supports terrorist groups and violates human rights. Strange, the regime in Riyadh also supports terrorists groups and violates human rights. But for some strange reason right wing war mongers never want to attack them. If that was sufficient enough a reason the US would have to bomb half the world. But of course they won’t bomb their dear dictator friends that gives them all the cheap oil, no matter how much they oppress their p… (more) |

Iran will be pretty much on its own. Unofficially, there are a lot of countries will do things behind the scenes / under the radar to aid Iran. Russia probably will use this opportunity to sell arms to Iran. China will do the same, albeit less blatantly than Russia, as US is still one of China’s largest trading partner. China suffered decades of virtual oil embargo led by the US in the past (the Saudi for decades didn’t sell a drop of oil to China per US pressure as an example) and Iran was China’s major oil source.

There are rumors that Pakistan might provide nuclear weapons, ready-to-use, if Saudi Arabia asks. So far, that's just a rumor, but it's not impossible. |

India had to endure decades of US technology restrictions/punishments while pursuing nuclear weapons. In the 1970s and 1980s, Indian technology was forced to grow in darkness as all kinds of tech exports from the West were blocked. This slowed down our space and nuclear power programs and sent the economy to nadir. But, at that point India had no choice. It had a long border with China which was a nuclear power and it had plenty of wars with Pakistan which was getting nuclear material from elsewhere. It… (more) |

Contrary to popular belief, other countries have rights too. If Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb they have as much right to do so as France, Pakistan, Israel, Russia, Great Britain, and yes the Untied States. I’m not saying that it is a good thing, just that we can’t always get what we want. And if we haven’t realized after 16 years of war in the Middle East, just killing more people isn’t the answer.

Iran could reverse its policy of expending its wealth to arm those of its proxies that attack Israel. It could reach out and befriend the Jewish state. Israel culturally sees itself much closer to Iran (and Lebanese and Syrians believe it or not) than its frenemies in the Gulf States. If Iran were to reverse its policy of achieving regional hegemony and offer friendship to Israel and for instance come to Israel on a friendship visit, we can be certain that the red carpet welcome at Tel Aviv airport would likely be unrolled so fast there would be sonic booms. And the benefits to the Irani… (more) |

What is the big deal? Why should the world declare war on Iran?,Most people care at least somewhat for humanity as a whole, and see the annihilation of 8 million people as an extremely negative outcome that reflects badly on their welfare. If you do not identify with this sentiment, look at the global response to the tsunamis in Asia in the past decade, or the earthquake in Haiti, where the loss of human life was far smaller than it would be in the event where a large chunk of the Israeli population were killed. Those response reflect a deep concern for massive loss of life. Beyond the Israeli population, Iran using nuclear weapons against Israel would prob… (more) |

Iran is one of the very few countries which CAN do whatever they want (at least in Syria) but DON’T. Many governments benefit from war in the middle east because it gives them the perfect excuse to go there and stay there but Iran is already there and the only thing Iran wants is PEACE and STABILITY for its neighbors because it means peace for Iran.

How does this play out over the coming months and years?,We pretty much know how it would start out. A US strike package would look like this:US Special Operations would be inserted by the 160th SOAR. The purpose of these operators would be to take out 2–3 border early warning stations (radar, communications).The first wave of US strike aircraft would be stealth aircraft. They would enter at the border holes created by the special ops teams. These strikes would focus solely on creating a narrow path of safe airspace that subsequent strike packages would follow. So to create this path they’d focus on SAM and AAA sites and neutralize them.The second w… (more) |

We are also the only nation which has used nuclear weapons in anger, and we killed a ton of civilians in the process. We've also waged more wars than just about any other nation in recent history and have assassinated and deposed democratically elected leaders… including the one Iran had in 1953. We've also supported terrorists in Afghanistan, Colombia, Nicaragua, Cuba, China and Chechnya. And that's without even counting the number of terrorists we've unintentionally created.

Vietnam? Iraq? Afghanistan? You cannot easily replace a regime, especially not one that has a lot of support in its people, with a simple war. You will rather lose and alienate those that are generally biased to you by bombing their homes. Even taking out the leader without that many casualities is dangerous for you create a power vacuum too easily filled by someone who‘s even worse (e.g. Libya) or the remainders of the regime (Iraq‘s secret service people forming the IS).

I’m not a fan of that backwards regime at all, not in the slightest, but you seem to be uneducated about geo-politics or Iran’s military capability. First of all, you need to look at the Iranian psyche. Iran is an 8 thousand year old civilization which has historically always been a regional power. The 80 million Iranians have this pride and feeling in their veins. If you think they will turn against their government for getting them into a war you are wrong. If the US or any foreign power invades Iran… (more) |

That’s what sovereignty means. Yes, Iran violates some human rights. So does the USA. Actually the USA does it WAY more often. Using cluster bombs, leaving 80 MILLION un-exploded bombs in Laos that are killing people regularly to this day, Guantanamo Bay, torturing PoWs, arming Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in the 80s, paving the way for their takeover of Afghanistan in the first place etc… Iran has not attacked another country in centuries.

Many Iranians hate their government more than we do. If we went to war, these Iranians would be forced under the penalty of death (of their families) to fight against us.

You should be ashamed of what you say. Iran is the victim there (apart from the Obama period where we found a first step toward normalization). Study Iran history and what the US did to them (notably destroy the first great democracy of the Middle East in 1953). You’ll understand that what you ask for is complete bullsh*t.

By the very question itself, I would say you don’t. Pull out a good map of the region. Take a measure of the sheer size of Iran. Take a look at which nations with parallel borders with Iran might possibly be interested in seeing the USA stuck burning soldier’s lives and exhausting the Treasury in Iran. Check out the mountains. Check out the population numbers. Right now, there are people in Iran who do not hate the USA. There remain now chances for political solutions which, upon invasion, will be lost.

And the US. But that is not the important point. The important point is that no US war (with the possible exception of WW2) has led to either long-term peace, stability, terrorism defeated, fewer weapons or a deeper respect for human rights. Arguably, the opposite has happened. The idea of a surgical war where bad guys are killed, threats are removed, innocent people are protected and democracy is secured is an illusion. |

I am also generally more aligned with the Conservative Foreign policy agenda with one big exception and that relates to Iran. I think both Israel and the US have Iran very wrong and in fact on this one issue, I support the Liberal agenda.

A. The Iranians are good people and do not deserve a war thrust upon them. Yes, their leadership is bad and they need a revolution to toss out the clerics and reform the government. But that is their concern. It cannot be done for them. They must do it themselves. B. Relating to A, experience has (should have by now) taught us that American troops invading and occupying a Middle East nation cannot achieve the goals that is desired.

And it’s mostly Trump voters who are now thinking that a war with Iran might be a good way to go. That’s because the man himself has been softening his base up for just that idea.

Our allies and countries which are not allies but which are sympathetic to the USA would all lose a lot of their sympathy if the USA precipitated another global recession.

It’s a shame that there isn’t some kind of deal in place with the nation in question that might delay such a nuclear program and give us more time to find a peaceful solution.

They interfere with or threaten militarily any country they fancy, with half baked reason.

(And the ayatollahs in Iran look like completely rational people when compared with Kim Jong-un.) Perhaps we should worry about a missile triggering the San Andreas Fault, and Western California slipping into the Pacific, before we worry about Iraq? (The concept you seem to be missing is “prioritize”.) |

Let me add this, US is the only creator of TERRORIST groups across the world and to hide this fact US always accuse other nations and states as terrorist or supporter of terrorists and tries to introduces itself against terrorist group. Here is the Hillary Clinton confessing they created AL-Qaeda terrorist group. On the other side, Iran has been one of the victim… (more) |

The Catastrophic ramifications would be huge: 1*.Iran would shut down the strait of Hormuz, which would mean no oil for the US through Saudi’s. That means the Saudi government begins to collapse, the US economy faces a massive recession and the world is sent into a freefall in a similar fashion to what happened in the 1970’s on a global scale. If some Trump conservatives somehow don't believe in climate change, I think this at the least should serve as a good reason to promote a green economy. 2. Iran is a nation with a popul… (more) |

Iran is building nuclear weapons and already has chemical weapons. Iran supports terrorist groups and violates human rights.” Why? Iran do nothing the US did not do already. Their only sin is kick out US oil companies and use it to improve the country. As I know, Iran the most advanced and industrialized Islam country of the Middle east. Why should you attack them?

And we’re continuing to fight them, in the form of Daesh today. And they continue to launch bloody terrorist attacks against the West. Oh, and these groups are being funded by our Arab “allies” in the region (Point of clarification: Iran is not an Arab nation. Different ethnicity, different culture). So, the way I see it, we should be far more concerned with the Sunni extremists. We may ev… (more) |

War shouldn’t be as simple as for or against. Most liberals like freedom and safety as much as anyone else. That said when there is a discussion of a war with no end game beyond decimating a regime. Timeout… What the hell is a regime anyway? When the dictator is European it’s still called a government. Hitler, Mussolini, Putin, all governments. Even Erdoğan is called a government and Turkey is technically a muslim country. As soon as the government wants our tax dollars, taking over a government suddenly becomes “regime change”. Pro-tip.

Are these like the “WMD” that didn't exist in Iraq? Iran, just like Iraq was, has been given a clean bill of health by the inspectors. They were right then and I'm inclined to believe they are right now. The US has zero moral authority on the matter of chemical weapons and Iran anyway. Declassified CIA papers show the US was complicit in assisting Iraq with chemical weapons attacks on Iran in the 1980s and guilty of withholding the knowledge and evidence of these attacks from the UN. So, if Iran has chemical weapons — none of America's business. You had your chance… (more) |

Well, in that war, we spent 7 trillion dollars, blew up the deficit, killed over 100,000 Iraqi civilians, lost thousands of soldiers, but most of all: We only increased terrorism in the region. When the US attacks somewhere, the people (rightfully so) get pissed off, and turning to terrorism gives them a way to vent that anger. What makes you think a war in Iran will be any different? |

When you and other conservatives (yes, I'm making an assumption) send your kids or grandkids to fight, then I'm onboard with another war.

The last time we “took out” a regime it cost the country a trillion dollars that it no longer has, killed a million civilians, created many hundreds of thousands of refugees whose migration into Europe remains a serious social problem, and spawned the growth of major, effective anti-Western terrorist organizations, along with creating the sense around the world that the American military just tortured people for the fun of it.

Reasons we don't go to war with Iran: Kids die in war. A lot of kids. How about you go down to your local high school and shake the hands of the boys and girls you have no problem going off to die. We've been reasonably lucky with American casualties in recent wars, but that definitely isn't going to be the case with Iran. They'll fight back and they'll fight back hard.

Iran has not done anything to the USA or anyone in the recent past that would justify such an attack as far as I know. I would agree that the Iranians grabbing our embassy in the late 1970s was provocative, but all nonsense aside we did things to provoke them. I see no reason to pick a fight with them. |

What they really mean is a lot of people that aren't them should die and/or leave body parts strewn around the desert so they can act like they are patriots. If all the conservatives packed up and went to the other side of the planet to do whatever it is they think should be done they wouldn't have to listen to what liberals say about it, because they would be doing it.

Would the US prevail against Iran? Undoubtedly. Their GDP is less than one half trillion dollars which means our economy is more than 42 times as large. But wouldn’t Russia be helping them? Probably with military aid but their economy is less than 10% of ours and we probably wouldn’t be alone either. Figure the Saudi’s and other Arab countries would be involved siding with us, after all they are the ones being bullied by Iran now. So why would we be posturing right now?

Do not ask our sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives to fight in a battle you are not willing to fight and die in yourself.

Iran will get a nuke. We weren’t able to stop North Korea from getting one. But if either country uses one, it will be their very last one. And they know it. Iran’s not going to expand. They are the only large Shiite nation on earth and they will not be able to conquer and control large hostile Sunnite populations. So watching them is frustrating, like watching Maduro fly Venezuela into the ground. Nothing would give me greater satisfaction that seeing both regimes topple.

Many African countries also do both (2+3rd items), yet the USA don’t seem to care, cause they don’t have oil. If you want Iran to stop doing bad things, support solar/wind/nuclear power and electric vehicles, making Oil far less important in the world.

We went to war in Iraq to “take out” an unwanted regime. But the situation in Iraq, and in the U.S., and in Europe, is worse than it was before we went to war there. You want the same result in Iran? If we had a history of setting things right in the Middle East by going to war, I and other liberals would agree with you. But we have a history of leaving countries in that region worse than we found them. Yes we could “take out” the regime. We don’t know how to put in anything better.

Liberals tend to be against throwing away the lives of American service members (and many more innocent civilians) for no real reason and with little to no prospect of any appreciable gain. A better question might be why are (some) conservatives so bloodthirsty for a war with Iran after botching Iraq and Afghanistan so badly. |
