[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 1699611, member: 9374"] Not at all... I was pointing out you were against attacking other nations without provocation, so I wanted to know your opinion on that particular situation. A lot of people seem to think that Iran will attempt to close the straight in response to economic sanctions and I wondered if you thought that would be a provocation worth a military response. You said it should be on a case by case basis, and since that seems the most likely event in the near future of such a high magnitude, it sparked my interest. I am in no way suggesting we should attack Iran or invade their borders based on anything that has occurred so far. But many indicators point toward such an event, based on escalating tensions and rhetoric, on both sides. If we could drill in our own country without crippling government interference ([B]some [/B]of which [B]is [/B]justified, perhaps), then the Straight of Hormuz wouldn't seem like such an important spot to the US.
