Veit Nahm was a pointless war...and alot of people died for no reason
Sorry, But do you remember the point of the Vietnam war? If you did, then you'll know America came away and won and did what they wanted to. Stop the spread of Comunism - Nobody seems to respect that when it comes to Vietnam. Enough said about that war.
Iraq, It was needing done, however, it should be pointed out that if the UN was given the 2 weeks more it asked for, America, Britain and the other Co-olation troops would have went in with the UN's backing. And listen, everybody has there opinions, but a lot of you don't know a thing. He did have his WMD's, there in Syria now - Garanteed!
Iran is a more tricky situation. Looking at the media regarding it and leading economics, I find it hard to believe that they pose a significant risk to either the Americans or EU. The media is bloating everything up about Iran, and making huge issues over little things, and quite frankly, just plain scaremongering. This is dangerous but is perhaps what the people in power want.
I can't vouch for other countries, but if you look into what has been happening the UN hasn't been sitting back doing nothing for the last two years. Iran does only want to create Power from nuclear means and to have the technology. This all came about when the greed of the EU countries (read, France, Britain and Germany here) kickstarted the ball rolling because If Iran had it's own Urainium enrichment program this would mean that they (EU countries mentioned) couldn't supply Iran with its enriched Urainium themselves. They have no problem selling it to them though and producing there own reactors and running them - and thats my problem. Iran has offered to keep inspectors in all the time during it's program, but the UN under the moaning of the EU countries, are not happy with them being independant on it and only because the EU countries would be loosing buisness.
All leaders say things they shouldn't, however, he was definatly out of place saying Isreal should be blown of the map. Again though, this was due to recent Israeli problems and Isreal pissed of Iran. Do you really think Iran would do such a thing when Israel is allied to almost the entire western world?
America seems to want to get involved because a war always helps the economy and the future doesn't look good at all for the Dollar area. Also, this would help America in influencing the East. It knows fine well though, that an attack on Iran is more or less going to be seen in the Muslim world as an attack on Muslims themselves and thats the downfall.
I can't remember anyone kicking up a stink when India and Pakistan developed there own nukes a few years back - and they were only developed for them to blow each other up. Why did we not get involved then? And it was almost as intense as a mini coldwar, and still kinda is.
Whatever happens, the rich will prevail, but I hope not at a cost of the collapse of the UN and/or the EU. I say we just let the UN continue this one on it's own this time. Perhaps they will get to do there own program - something every country is entitled to do.
