USA ability... ( Archived) (312)

I second that motion Konigsberg.

I too am not an expert on Foreign Affairs but have great concern for what is potentially going to happen in the very near future.

Surely this is not just the U.S.A. that will be involved? Iran has had a political agenda for a long time[ I have Iranian friends living there who are very concerned about their Country.]

You only have to look at the political unrest on the Forums to see how much hatred and lack of understanding there is in our World today.

How other people choose to live and govern should not be interfered with, providing the people of said country are cared for and not under a despotic regime. The world is a huge melting pot of colour and creed which we should try to take into consideration,but rarely do. We should consider the 3 R's Religion,race and respect.

Oil has mostly been the biggest cause of wars in the Middle East and now the threat of Nuclear weapons rears it's ugly head yet again.

I hate to think of the future of our planet,if there is one.

The US is winding down operations in Afghanistan and in Iraq. It's time for the citizens of those nations to exercise the right of self determination free from their former oppressive regimes.

Iran is merely playing the game it has played for some years, that is, rattle the sabres in order to gain concessions~much like North Korea has been doing. The latest act in this play is hardly a cause for concern, as the tensions in the region are already easing.

I don't think anyone likes wars. Sometimes I do believe they are necessary. When one faces evil to try and stop it are they a hero or are they evil? And whom is to decide who is evil and who is the hero? Trying getting millions of people to agree with one thing and be happy is impossible in my opinion. I believe that if our government feels another war is necessary then they will make a way to afford it. Nuclear weapons are a terrible thing to be in the wrong hands. But are there any right hands for them? Whom would decide who the right hands would be? Someone years ago let the genie out of the bottle. Now not such an easy thing to put back in. I can honestly say if you think that Americans want another war you are wrong. I do not walk down the streets and see them thirsting for war. I know oil is important to a lot of people American and non American. But in truth people survived for eons without it, and could again if need be. But just turn loose the nuclear weapons and see what the future would hold.

as us government said about iraq that they have wapouns to wrong, now it is turn of iran for out them of play that is the act of usa government.they don't care about us people or any one eles the just think to them.than why iranian were in demoestration in last election, obama try to deal with iran government? and wrote a letter to khamenei? and when they diden'tany reply ms clinton try to conect with opositions and said you ask us we help you?hehehe.

Alone No. But with the Monarchy or UK, France and allied forces, Yes. Don't forget the opium production in Afghanistan during war has reached record high. The Fabricated Global financial crisis has already made the pockets deep.



It has no affect on US citizens, but a great effect on the lives of ME citizens.


And the latest is that UK and USA are eyeing one of the largest gold and copper reserves in Pakistan's Balouchistan Province. The place is called Reko Diq. The province borders Afghanistan and Iran both. Along with Naval borders with Iran on the straight of Hormuz.

So, as usual, they have fuelled insurgency in Balouchistan and have stirred a lot of trouble by creating and funding separatist movements and supplying arms. Very quietly in the USA congress, a bill was tabled 2 days ago to support the creation of a new country separating Balouchistan from Pakistan.

UK's job provides "asylum" to elements that support the disintegration of Pakistan. All balouch rebel groups are already in Britain.

Ironically, Pakistan is the frontline Ally of USA on the war on Terror, in Afghanistan. Yet, it seems Pakistan will pay the "price" for friendship, in the form of disintegration.

So on the capability front, yes, both USA and UK are quite capable and experienced. On the ability front, I doubt it.
