/u/Elboboson discusses how a war with Iran would be dramatically different than a war with Iraq.

It stopped Iran from developing a nuclear weapon,

Did it really, though? I mean, they don't have nuclear weapons now so...

avoided direct military conflicts. A

Postponed the inevitable, you mean.

Like who?

Like Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, UAE etc.

The fact that most of our European allies were - and are - part of the deal says it’s good to me.

You mean those idiots that have sold their countries to the highest bidders? Because they no longer believe in national sovereignty; they simply use it to gain power and then it becomes a commodity to be sold for personal profits.

The only middle eastern ally we as a nation have that comes to mind is Israel, and I couldn’t care less what that apartheid nation thinks.

Yep, there's the antisemite. I knew you'd come out of your racist closet eventually.

No, but I think they rightly realized that Iran developing a nuclear weapon isn’t in anyone’s best interests.

The state of Iran sanctions, funds, and operates three known terrorist organizations all throughout the middle east. And you think giving them American tax dollars is a good idea? I mean, honestly, it's playing out like you're for the down fall off the US. Because you're certainly not print American interests first.

Forget America, care about your fellow man.

Putting America first is caring about your fellow man, you idiot. You think Iran gives a good fuck about your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness? So you honestly think the terrorist state of Iran would piss on you if you were on fire? No, they'd douse you with gasoline. Don't be so gullible. Stop living in a dream state.
