Fiscal Cliff Prediction

[kjeopardy]

naa, if someone can prove I was wrong about something, good, but 99% of the time is just someone's opinion against my opinion.. And Iran, it isn't a threat to the U.S national security, but it is related to american interests. Hell, then why do we keep hearing Iran being mentioned in U.S politics all the time? I'm just saying what I see. If the U.S is concerned about iran, it is, how could someone say that is not true? Why then, is the U.S imposing sanctions on Iran? Then how could I be wrong when I said Iran is against american interests?

someone explain please? Without trolling or making it a debate, it's just a question...
Someone just answer my two questions (U.N and Iran) and i'll just stop talking about this.

There are several reasons Iran is such a "hot topic" right now in the United States. First, Iran opposes the existence of Israel, a country the US has supported wholeheartedly. Second, Iran has been accused of harbouring terrorists that seek to destroy the United States. Third, Iran has exerted influence in the region to oppose US policies. Fourth, American politicians love a "scapegoat," or someone they can target for their problems - Iran is what they like to target most. Fifth, after 9/11 (terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers), American opinion has shifted sharply against Islam (most Americans are unaware of the true aspects of Islam, and they instead assume that all, or nearly all Muslims are terrorists, while at the same time ignoring the terrorists in their own religion. Sixth, the United States citizenry is genuinely concerned that Iran will either a) attack Israel or b) attack the US and its other allies. This causes our weariness.

You see Otto, many of these fears are viable, but quite a few are not or are our own fault. The following are the "debunkings" of the above concerns:
1) Israel was created by stealing Palestinian land.
2) Excuse is viable - but intelligence (espionage) works better than sanctions, which just hurt the citizens.
3) US policies have threatened Iranian way of life (as perceived by that nation) and have disrupted relations in that area of the world.
4) People love other people to blame. This is what Hitler did to the Jews.
5) People who attacked the US subscribe to a distorted faith that doesn't resemble Islam in the slightest(if you want to know, ask me, and I'll explain how the US has caused the majority of these terrorist acts - not saying that they are completely ot blame (certainly not), but we did have a role)
6) a: Valid concern, Ahmadinejad has threatened Israel. b: Not valid, Iran has been *relatively* peaceful and has maintained a peaceful attitude since the 1950s.

I disagree with #5, as you well know.

EDIT: not bothering to debate the er though

Why would you bring it up if you're not trying to start [poo]? At least be honest about it for [m'kay]'s sake, nobody's going to believe you anyways.

Haha, and could you have worded it any more pretentiously? Watch the [m'kay] out guys, if you have a different opinion from the pre-teen math wizard, you better step the [m'kay] back and think about what you just did. This [m'kay] will derive the [poo] out of you.

I can't say anything, can I? I'm just as entitled to my opinion as you are.

And how is what I said pretentious?---the er has been exhausted. I clearly have no problem debating things with people here.

This topic is about the fiscal cliff; if people are interested in a discussion on Radical Islam, there is an existing thread about it.

"As you well know, you plebeian scum, your filthy opinion is in opposition to mine. Please be sure to take that into account the next time you dispense with your disgusting thoughts." Why exactly should he care if someone not involved in the discussion disagrees? Were you somehow important to this and I just failed to notice? It looks to me as if nobody made any mention of you while this discussion was occurring, so I fail to see why your opinion ers so much you had to throw your hat in. Great job, you're an idiot with misinformed views. Congratulations. Maybe let them stick to the conversation they're already having instead of butting in just to be a snobbish prick.
