Forget War With Iran

Saying "FORGET WAR WITH IRAN" is like saying forget all of our soldiers that have died in this war. The President reacted upon getting false information from outside forces. He lead us to war, and in the beginning, everyone was behind him. Now that we all see it was a costly mistake on our behalf, we want to back down? Give me a F*cking break. We once stood behind our president with honor and loyalty, as we watched our country fall on 9-11. Now we want to stand in front and say that the Bush Administration are the real ones who are to blame? Yea, they have probably made some HUGE mistakes, but elections are returning in 2008, maybe then we will have an administration who makes ALL the right choices, and does NOTHING wrong.

Michael, don't you and your employer Newsweek ever get tired of your liberal bias?It's a known fact that reporters like yourself, and media outlets like CNN, CBS, NBC etc are 80%-90% liberal, and vote for democrats. It's amazing to me that you think of yourself as unbiased. Have you ever voted for a Republican?
But relative to the article, Iran continues to enrich uranium. Once that process is complete, it's only a matter of months before they can produce a bomb. Diplomatic pressure must remain strong agains the zealots running Iran, or the world, and Israel in particular, may face dire results. As usual, you, and the liberal media, have slanted the news. In this case it's the NEI report. R.B. Tampa

i enjoyed reading ur arcticle. It shows how disconnected our pres has been!! To me, he;s been that way for a long time! I'm so ready to see a Democratic prez in office who will bring our trooops home and bring down the astronimical gas prices!!

I enjoyed reading your article sir. It was well written and informative. I also agree with your assessment on the incorrect actions of the pres in his statments regarding Iran. The Bush's Chaneys, Rockefellers, and the rest of the fattened beauracrats need to move aside for this next dispensation of time in our lives. They have made enough trillions of $$ from peeps in the staggering gas prices. Enough $ 2 last their childrens, childrens, childrens, childrens lives. With that said, the pres is sounding totally disconnected from the truth of his own intell aganecies? Our troops our stretched out in distant places when they should be here working atively and helping Earth to be a more peaceful and intellectual planet. The troops could be here assisting in technological advances., where we "America" would employ diplomacy with other countries that we differ with.. Peace.

Honestly, Michael Hirsch, don't you and Newsweek ever get tired of your unbalanced reporting, along with CNN, CBS, Time etc. It's no secret tht 80%-90% of reporters vote democratic, and you try to push your agenda through your magazine and dispatches. George Bush is on the right track on this issue. iran is still enriching uranium. It only takes a few months to create a bomb after that process is complete. We have to keep the pressure on Iran. They are a severe future threat to all civilized country's national interests.

PRESIDENT BUSH AND OTHERS LIKE HIM SHOULD UNDERSTAND THE WORLD IS BETTER WITHOUT WARS. BECAUSE WITH ITS THE MASSES THAT PAY THE PRICE FOR ACTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL PRESIDENTS. PLEASE LET THE WHOLE WORLD EMBRACE PEACE NOT WAR. Mudathiru M.K- Kampala

Perhaps it's worth the price??? Mr. Hirsch, I think you either forgot to add a smiley, or you've ended a perfectly good article with the craziest statement I've heard in months. Short of a real-life "Red Dawn", little could be more costly to the US than another pointless military foray into the Middle East. Personally, I feel that this country could use to swallow one more slice of humble pie, just so that the entire nation knows for damn sure that they can't afford to elect a pair of Bush-Cheney lookalikes this next time around.

Why are you including a picture of Hillary Clinton in this story? What does she have to do with a possible war with Iran? Is she a U.S. leader? Why don't you guys just report the news instead of trying to sell the American people a phony idea. It stinks as bad as Weapons of Mass Distruction

Are you trying to sell her as some kind of American leader? instead of the Weapons of Mass Distruction tune.

Saddam was not a nice person, but maybe exactly what Iraq needed.
All that Bush has accomplished is he disturbed a hornest net and it will take more than our lifetime to get all the bees back into their hives.
Seeing Bush ride his bike through Baghdad? LOL
Bush doesn't go anywhere okie-magic. He can only go and shoot his mouth off with fellow Republicans and even most of them don't want to see him.

Perhaps??? Perhaps it's worth the price??? There isn't much, short of a real-life "Red Dawn", that would be more costly to the US than another pointless war! Great article, HORRIBLE closing statement.

As person who is familiar very wel wth the region and the middle-east, I do not belive to even one wordf of this NIE. The Iranian regime (and the people too) will do whatever they can to become a nuclear authority in the region ASAP. This is a false estimat and the administration mst NOT accept it. What exactly the Iranians are doing with all these huge nocler facilities that they were building according to this NIE ? Chocolates.... ? I can tell you right a way (I was born and raised in the middle -east) that if nbody will PHYSICALLY stop them, they are going to have a nuclear weapons in their hands within less then 2 years.
I 'm just wondering how exactly nuclear Iran will serve the U.S interests.
Talks about "aggresive diplomacy" as Hilary Clinton is suggesting , is a HUGE bulshit.
Physical elimination of these nuclear sites by any mean is the only option to save the area from another holocust and the entire world from world war III of the west against radical Islam headed by nucler Iran.

usa must forget war with iran forever!

WHICH CANDIDATE CAN HANDLE THIS SITUATION BEST AND WHY? Provide PROOF; WHO HAS THE BEST SOLUTION??
WITHOUT RUSSIA IRAN WOULD HAVE NOTHING. Why can't the pubic see that the real threat are the break-away republics of Russia(most notably the 5 Muslim States in Central Asia and the Ukraine)crime families in Eastern Europe and the technological advancement of China. Iran, Pakistan, India, all countries in Africa have no means of deploying a successful nuclear attack. Let's take care of the nuclear, chemical and biological weapons that already exist not on those that
