Yeah there are "radical islamists", but they are a small percent of the religion.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, this is true. But the problem is that the radicals own the state news and are leading the countries. It's unfortunate that the people are subject to it.

Didn't we fight nazis and the japanese in world war 2 to stop this kind of behavior?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes this is the iffy part of this imo. Different ideologies, however. Our goal is not to round up 6 million Arabs and gas them like Nazi Germany did to the Jews. We have isolated incidents like Guantanamo but we aren't plundering villages, killing hundreds of thousands, and forcing the girls into prostitution like the Japanese did. Yes people are dying there but it's war.

I mean how exactly are we going to win this war on terror? If you honestly think about it, there's only two ways. Invade practically every country in the world, or try and be friends and have peaceful relationships with them.
[/ QUOTE ]
Is peace really possible? They hate the West because of Israel, and their radical leaders also hate us because we are prosperous and free. Their goal is to end the Zionist regime. They need to accept a peaceful two state but they didn't 60 years ago and they won't accept it now.

Those fighters are labeled as "terrorists", but wouldn't we all fight foreign invaders if they were marching on our streets?
[/ QUOTE ]
I understand that but the difference is terrorists willing kill innocents for their objectives. It sucks and I feel bad for the people. It's not their fault that they are lead by radicals.

And that's all you're going to get by attacking Iran. You're also going to get a draft, because Iran is 3 times the size of Iran, and we have enough trouble with recruitment. I wonder why.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, I don't think a draft will happen. What's even scarier is that we will use the nuclear bunker missles to hit desired targets. IRan is way too big and has a good military. Casualties would be immense if we went there like Iraq.
Also, I'm not saying I agree with everything I stated here, but I wanted to try to create some counter arguments.
