Do you think that, even pending the United States' upcoming election, war will break out between America and Iran? Despite alleged "diplomatic efforts" on the part of the United States, the situation is rapidly deteriorating,and many people across the world--including me--are getting scared. Do you think that America will go to war with Iran? As an American pacifist, this matter makes me almost nauseous. What are your opinions?

I think the U.S. will .If the United States want to maintain his hegemony in the world , he must to launch the war .In addition ,a new broom sweeps clean ,the new president of U.S will think about it as to display his talent and authority . But I am against the war , peace is the most thing in the world !

No. If Iran does something to start a war with us, then yes we will defend ourselves, but I don't see us going after them first as we did in Afghanistan and Iraq. Neither side wants a war right now. American taxpayers don't want to pay for more fighting, and Iran doesn't have the might to stand up to us. They like to talk alot, but the truth is they would go down faster than Iraq. Much of Irans civilian population does not support their government, and knowing this it would actually hurt us more than them to go to war with them. People would see it as us punishing the innocent for things that are beyond their control. Also there is the recent issue of the Iranians president's health. I think people are going to sit back and watch to see how long he can last in his position. Would be stupid of me to say "no way in the world they won't do anything" as history has shown with the events of 9-11. We should definitely keep an eye out,and respond to any threats, but not be quick to rush into action without knowing what we are running into.

Even if we had a legitimate reason to start a war with Iran, I think we're spread too thin to even consider it.
