Bomb Iran? Uh, how about not.

Imagine the nightmare of a war with Iran. Consider how fragile our economy is now. Add the extra burden of paying for another war, hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Then think about what would happen when the price of oil goes up to $200 a barrel, which is realistically could if we further destabilize the region. Going to war with Iran would seriously- and perhaps permanently- damage our economy.

We're actually considering war with Iran because they are developing nuclear power facilities? We just sold nuclear technology to India, and seem to have no problem with Israel and Pakistan having nuclear weapons. No wonder the world thinks we're a country full of hypocrites.

McCain expressed a serious, dangerous lack of judgment when he joked about bombing Iran. We can't afford to have a president who is apparently eager to get us into a war with Iran.
