Iran is not a bad country. It is full of well-educated, peace-loving people.
But it has two things going against it: the radical Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the more radical religious leaders.
The world does not want, or need, leaders that on the one hand deny the Holocaust yet threaten Israel with another. They have said that they want to "push Israel into the sea".
Human rights demonstrations happen in Iran every week. The people do not support the leadership. This, imo, is enough reason for a regime change, because it would give te people what they want - freedom.
I support efforts for a regime change in Iran.

Well of course, you won't find many countries that don't act in their own interest, but it's my understanding the youth of Iran have fairly westernized interests that are being stifled by the religious hardliners there. Our interest is that religious hardliners are removed, and a good percentage of the Iranian population shares that interest. I'm not saying we should occupy the country like Iraq, obviously that didn't work, but there's no way the Iranians can unseat the mullahs themselves without ALOT of them dying, so perhaps we can just help them by pulling the mullahs' military teeth and let them take it from there....

but is that not how america sold this war to iraqi people, america found a group in iraq that wanted rid of saddem, but now america want it all. will iranians really fall for the same trick. it seems like america has a long history of destabilising iran, and changing regimes there.

So pride will make you team up with the mullahs who oppress you and force their religious views on you? I can understand why you wouldn't want foreign troops on your soil I guess, but at the same time why turn down help? What is your own way, and are you sure it will work? Part of me wishes foreign troops would help us get all the corrupt politicians we have out of office....

And no matter what the US government says, if the US bombed Iran, they would be doing that, bombing Iran, not the government, Iran, and thus attacking Iran, not the government.
An outside threat unites people, America saw that with September 11th 2001.
Mehran does not want to see bombs dropped on his country, just as you would surely would not like to see bombs dropped on your country.

Wait...that article you posted seemed to suggest that Israel is gonna nuke us, and that the high alert is because of them. That article appeared to be fantasy, am I wrong here?
