  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Iran: Are they about to go nuclear? Should we stop them?

If feasible, I would advocate for the West, led by the United States, to intervene in Iran, replacing the current regime with a democratic system. However, this is easier said than done. The war in Iraq serves as a sobering reminder that such interventions can have complex and often unfavorable outcomes for all parties involved, including the West, the Arab community, and the Iraqi citizens.

I am skeptical of Bibi Netanyahu's warnings about Iran's nuclear capabilities. Since 2001, he has repeatedly claimed that Iran would finish their nuclear program within six months. While Bibi want to weaken Iran for Israel’s security, his repeated warnings may be seen as alarmist. Although Iran might be nearing the completion of their nuclear weapon, the timeline remains uncertain. We've heard these predictions from Bibi for the past 25 years.

On the domestic, we had a good negotiation and deal with Iran. However, President Trump and the GOP opposed it because it was done by President Obama, so they tore up the agreement signed by over 100 countries. President Obama’s deal with Iran may not have been perfect and might have needed more pressure on Iran, but ending it out of animosity towards him was a childish act by President Trump and the GOP.

I do not support war nor oppose it. I see it as a necessary evil that should be avoided, but if inevitable, we must act decisively with full force.
