Well IMO we aught to bomb the hell out of the middle east period ourselves, the place just sucks...as do the majority of the people. But this will never happen. As for the oil, Iran isn't the only source, if the price increases a little oh well, Obama will save us with massive taxes to the rich small businesses right? Yay for redistribution of wealth, or what I like to call, "Robin Hood Theory". I mean it works in folklore right?
Assuming we would be willing to abandon Israel, what makes you think Iran would want to abandon their quest for nuclear weapons? They would consider US as large a threat as Israel, if not greater, and they would also counter that other threats exist in the world and they would want to be able to defend against all of them, that their program was not purely anti-Israel
We give up the holy land for their taking, their quest for the weapon is a manifestation for their greed to destroy the state of Israel. If we more less say "Yo, war is cool with us on these here conditions, sign here and here and you can be friends with us" what do they have to fear?
What makes you think they want to be a part of our war on terrorism? After all they sponsor parts of it, the terrorists of the world are looking to do us harm, not so much to blow up Iran.
And why do they sponsor it, do ya think? If we gave them what they want most, security and holy land, they could care less about the rest of the world (US) and give up the support for terrorism.
