Well then, we have to spend a lot more in defence and employ a lot morew people, it would also help our economy!

No, it would involve our air force (which is just as dangerous)!

So are you going to join up to fight this war or are you just another Gobby arm chair warrior intent on risking others lives while you cower at home with your white feather.

Re: Oh look! Manhattan court declares "Iran behind 9/11 attacks".
I think it's unfair to accuse people who support military action against another country of being willing to risk the lives of others. A nuclear Iran is a worry and a worry we share with many around the world and, like it or not, military options are on the table when diplomacy and sanctions fail. So I think it's perfectly acceptable to debate the use of such an option without being accused of a willingness to risk other peoples lives.
That is just a cheap emotional appeal and could be countered by a similarly weak argument that if you don't support military action then your risking peoples' lives by allowing Iran to have such a deadly weapon. It just doesn't get us anywhere, better to debate the substance of the argument.
Remember the people who join the military do so voluntarily, they do so knowing they may face armed conflict and die. They know that such a decision isn't theirs to take and they could be sent to a war of which they don't approve. We don't force people to fight for us but the ones that do have to follow the command of their leaders.

But he's not supporting it, he's proposing it - a bit different.

A world government (which is a very far feached idea!) would be a rather good idea, I mean we are all humans!
