CMV: Invading Iran would be the worst decision in the history of our nation

Lets hear arguments to the contrary Edit: Hey everyone, here’s an update. First, thank you to everyone who shared either their support for or against my view. I try to engage with every single someone that comments under a post of mine. I believe that by engaging with someone who disagrees with us, we can learn more than simply watching news. As a university student, I sometimes have a hard time keeping up. Thank you to the hundreds of people who commented in such a short time. Your passion and knowledge inspires me. Second, I just wanted to acknowledge that my view was changed in reference to invading Iran now. This is not the 1930’s, and I agree that now is not the time to invade Iran under the circumstances we have today. Thank you to those of you who convinced me otherwise. I have to throw out a shout-out to u/ClearlyNotAVtuber and u/BenjaminDover23 for making great points and convinced me to change my view. You guys rock. Feel free to keep commenting, I am trying to reply to everyone. Edit 2: Hey everyone, I got about 1400 upvotes and 170 comments and counting. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. This is crazy. Thank you all once again. Edit 3: 2,100 upvotes 239 comments and counting. I love reddit. Edit 4: I just hit 2,500 upvotes. Thank you for your dedication and support to this post. This is huge. Edit 5: I went from 600 upvotes and 100 comments to 2,700 and over 250 comments in the last half hour alone! Thank you so much everyone. Edit 6: Well, I just got 3,000 upvotes. Maybe I will make top 50 after all. Thank you all so much. This is amazing. Edit 7: Literally half an hour later, I hit 3,400 upvotes. First, if you’re still commenting, thank you all so much. Second, I love reddit. I really do. And finally, if you’re on the front page looking at this, thinking about clicking, just clear your schedule. Edit 8: 4,400 upvotes and it’s now morning. Literally thank you so much. I could not have imagined that this thread would be so popular. Edit 8: I’m sorry, but I gotta do it. 5,000 upvotes and counting! Thank you reddit, you are the best. I could never have imagined that I would have such an amazing community of people debate me. Edit 9: Wow there are literally thousands of people on this thread. I am trying my best to keep up with everyone, but this is slightly ridiculous to be honest. Edit 10: Ok, I’m gonna keep doing this. 6,700 upvotes. This is so cool. Edit 11: Went to the front page to see what was hot and I saw myself. Thank you so much. Edit 12: 7,500 upvotes later and I am still amazed. This is crazy. Literally thousands of people. Thank you everyone. Edit 13: I just realized that since this ends in one hour, if my view was changed I would get a CMV post on the front page. This is insane! Thank you so much everyone. Edit 14: I am only 22 comments away from 1k comments. Do you think we can hit 1k as well? Because that would be absolutely crazy to me. Edit 15: 200 comments later, WE DID IT. First, thank you all for going from 700 comments to 1200 in 30 minutes. Second, I am going to update my view status tonight. Thank you all once again for the support. Edit 16: Wow. I woke up and cried. I don’t even care if we make top 10, but we are at 8,400 upvotes and over 1300 comments. I can not believe this and I am so happy that reddit is still around and thriving. Thank you all so much. Edit 17: I just cried again. That is all. 9,000 upvotes. Edit 18: 11,400 upvotes. Top 20. Edit 19: We’re in the top 15. Thank you all. Edit 20: Top 10. I love reddit.

Edit 24: Hey guys, we’re in the top 10 posts of the year so far and we’re hitting 20 thousand upvotes with over 2,700 comments! I just want to thank reddit again for teaching me so much. Edit 25: 20 thousand upvotes later, I hit the front page! Thank you all so much! This was truly the most fun I have had on reddit. Edit 26: I’ve been thinking, and I am going to keep updating this post forever. Because I want to say thank you to reddit for as long as reddit exists. Edit 27: I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to reach out to a few news organizations and I finally got my first email back. A very nice woman wants to interview me tomorrow about this thread. This is amazing. Thank you reddit. Edit 28: Literally 30 minutes ago I was interviewed by the Miami Herald. I am still in shock. Thank you so much reddit. I never would have anticipated that a reddit post would lead to an interview with the Miami Herald. Thank you reddit. Edit 29: Hey everyone, I apologize if the previous update had some errors. I was very excited and was rushing so I apologize for any mistakes. Anyways, I just posted this thread on r/r/unpopularopinion. Just a heads up.

Edit 32: Hey everyone. 3 months since I started this thread and I just want to say thank you all again. I love reddit and I couldn’t be happier that I posted this thread. Edit 33: Literally 2 weeks later I am back on r/all because someone reached out to me and asked if they could translate this thread into Japanese. Thank you reddit. Edit 34: Hey everyone, this thread has inspired another thread! Thank you all. Edit 35: Hey everyone. Its been almost half a year since I posted this thread and I just wanted to let you all know that 5 years later, we are not at war with Iran. Thank you all!
