I too am surprised you state you are for world peace and attacking Iran in the same message.

Many experts have stated that attacking Iran would a)further destabilize the middle east region b)inflame anti-us sentiment thruout the world much, much further then it already is c)inflame muslims thruout the world to an unpresidented level.

In short, an attack on Iran would be a disaster of epic proportions. It would have the potential to destabilize other portions of the world, in addition to the middle east.

We have a right to protect our citizens and would have been justified in any response. And now we have government-sanctioned anti-Semitism from Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
