Platt:
I hope that any leader of a democratic country, given intelligence from
multiple sources that a tyrannical advisory was building and/or stockpiling
WMD, would take pre-emptive action. Iran is the next test.

Your sortive supporting what I said, and I see the concern when
it comes to WMD's. They could be here in a matter of minutes or so.
Thus, geographical positions shrink and it would be as if Iran was
on the U.S. border with tanks and they are building up their army on
the border. Do we wait for them to cross, thus, possibly killing
thousands of U.S. citizens or do we cross into their border? Tough
question. South Korea goes through this daily.
But it's the dabbling in foreign affairs that has lead the U.S. into such
a position arguably. We were deeply involved with Iran in their
internal affairs and this has lead to opposition in Iran against the U.S.
Notice the current opposition in Europe (though totality different, currently,
in how we negotiate and deal with each other, except the sanctions Andre
brought up, that's a break-down in how democracies deal with each other).
What about Afghanistan? We dabbled in their internal affairs and their
struggle against the Soviet Union.
It's all these dabblings early on that leads the U.S. into particular
dangers
that now the U.S. has to sit around and discuss what to do with Iran?
The U.S. via its' foreign affairs is bringing the U.S. citizens into such
disastrous situations. So at this point, what else could we do if Iran
does get nuclear weapons. As if the U.S. doesn't have nuclear weapons,
and the U.S. is in over 100 countries around the world in an empire strong-arm
position. This needs to be taken into account too.
I think the starting point for all of this includes a look into what the
U.S.
does in its' foreign affairs. What the impact of the U.S. is upon the world?
Even in the preliminary rounds of non-violent foreign policies that suck the
U.S. into these dangerous situations. With technology today, the U.S. could
pull out of all their military stations around the world, arguably not in
Afgan. yet,
and if a country would threaten U.S. soil, then the U.S. could be there in a
matter
of minutes, hours, and with full force in a day or two. But again, this all is
starting with why the U.S. feels a need to shove their intellectual policies
around the world, even the non-military policies, for we know how the giant
in any of the countries of the world might use such intellectual patterns in a
way
that was not intended.
