Declaration of war? What the fuck are you talking about? Blowing up a uranium enrichment plant isn't war and as far as I have heard that's the only plan. If Iran strikes back which is a very very low chance then maybe but eh what can you do, do you really want Iran with nukes?

Romney is stuck in a cold war mentality. Anyone who has inadequate understanding of foreign affairs in America always looks to our military. He sabre rattles because he doesn't understand the neuance and finesse it takes for the currently remaining super power to lead the world. He still thinks that Russia is our most dangerous enemy and sees the solution to every foreign problem as being military might or incursion. Canna - he stated just such a thing in his speech. Mccain was worse even - if I recall he seemed to be all for at least 4 "wars".

And of course, Romney, having no solid grasp of how things are done on the world stage will fall victim - as Bush did - to the neocons, several of which he has enlisted as his advisors.

Did you see Condi Rice?
Her speech was terrible from a presentation stand point
I think she felt bad about trying to rationalize her role in american History

War in Iran = nuclear clusterfuk


We know his party loves war. Just go back to the South Carolina debate when Ron Paul get booed for saying we should abide by the golden rule instead of bombing the shit out of anybody we didn't like.

Nice little snip it, which has absolutely no evidence. You cannot use finesse with countries like North Korea and Iran it has been tried repeatedly and failed every time. Sure you can talk to them until they develop nuclear weapons but then what? Let them blackmail you until they get the nerve to use such weapons like NK? I doesn't matter who gets in office Romney or Obama will assist in an Iran strike.

Not having seen the speech, and unable to find anything explanatory on Google ... I'm still trying to see what the OP is talking about.

As for Iran with nukes ... I can only foresee that leading to disaster for Iran. In this post-proliferation world, one's nation's own nukes are more of a bother than a benefit. I mean ... try using just one. Even the bigs shied from that calculus. cn

Overall, I felt better about the state of the world during the cold war than I do know.

We need another good long cold one...
