It's that "war" thing that Americans have. I asked the question because I was interested in seeing how enthusiastic people on this forum are about extending our current war in the Middle East to include Iran.
It should have STARTED with Iran. The gutless response to the taking of the embassy in Tehran actually was the birthplace of terrorism against the USA.

Since you don't like Jews I guess we know where you stand.

It's going to happen eventually. Might as well get it over with. We've been dicking around with the Middle East for 50 years and trying to avoid actually kicking the schit out those over there that really need it for 40 of them.
Get it on, get it over with, and get it done.

Are you in favor of America going to war with Iran?
BTW - at no point was the US going to war with Iran mentioned. Netanyahu stated quite plainly that Israel will act even if it has to act alone.
I suspect the IDF is more than capable of taking care of Iran. There is no Iraq now, and no Syria to amount to anything. Egypt is a shell, and Libya is gone. Jordan will most likely not to anything against Israel is they go after Iran, and the Lebanese are, well, the Lebanese.
That leaves Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis will feign shock and surprise and want sanctions against Israel, but having their age old enemy of Iran knocked back down a few pegs won't upset them much at all.

I'm in favor of doing what it takes to preserve America. If I could be convinced that Iran, or any country or regime 1) had it in for America 2) had the means to deliver 3) had the motivation 4) had the history 5) have the opportunity
Then I'd be for protecting America. Wouldn't you?
My guess is you must disagree on Iran being a threat to America? ISIS?

Wouldn't it be inspiring to live under leadership like that?
Thanks, I'll take George Washington:
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial, else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people to surrender their interests. The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.

The leaders of Iran don't think of Iran as a nation with normal political functions. The leaders of Iran are Shiite Islamists, and they are determined to not only make Islam the ruling force in the entire world, but they are determined to make Shiite Islam the ruling force. They are as eager to slaughter Sunni Islamists as they are Christians, and only slightly less eager than they are to kill Jews.
The history of Iran's emergence as a rogue nation started with the Shiite revolution under Ayatollah Khomeini during the Carter administration. In the early days of that regime, Iran was purged of Jews, Christians, and Sunni Muslims. Iran's war with Iraq was essentially a Shiite-on-Sunni war.
Iran doesn't give a rat's pizzle about ISIS, Iraq, or any other such realities. All they care about is slaughtering non-Shiite Muslims. This hardly makes them ally material.
