Maybe they caught wind of this and will start a prosecution of bushco soon on behalf of millions of dead based on lies. Who knows. Now that the taliban are celebrating upcoming victory in Afghanistan (based on the soon pull out by Nato) there will likely be more retaliation. So why did we participate in that steve?

I guess your specific type of brain damage placed severe limits on your memory

Really sounds like the same crap that was said prior to the Iraq invasion and occupation. The United States and it's criminal ally Saudi Arabia seem to need more oil so they figure that they should invade Iran for more control. Israel is in the thick of things as well.

I predict another war within a year.

I'll remind you in a year.

Well, the Saudis have given Israel permission to fly over its territory to attack Iran and as the Israeli are less PC than we are they just might do it. The Israeli aren't so much concerned about oil, they are concerned with not getting wiped off the map.

Iraq though didn't threaten (or be willing) to attack the US, but I think they are more interested in re-establishing the Persian Empire (Islamic Republican naturally).

Funny how despite the fact Iran has never engaged in an actual hostile action against another country they are made to be the enemy. Iran has more in common with the US than anyone else in the area, hell, they would probably have helped take on Al Qaeda (they have been a victim of multiple terror attacks from them) if we hadn't made a mission out of pissing them off.

Irrespective of whether Iran will or will not build bombs, if we change Iran to neighbor and nuke to gun, then right now Iran has purchased bullets and a cleaning kit. If Iran was one of my neighbors - you know, one of these crazy crank neighbors that beats his wife and kids, kicks the dog, and is generally a dick, then I'm not too keen on him finishing the process and getting that gun. You see, my neighbor, the crazy recluse (North Korea) has a shotgun and my other fruitcake neighbor, the one with all the siblings that are squabbling with its neighbors (Pakistan) has a gun too. And though my next door neighbor (the US) has a big gun collection, when my neighbor Iran starts acting really retarded and shooting up the place, all of those guns with my US neighbor won't mean squat until after the fact.

Nope, I don't want them to have a gun. In our quiet little neighborhood, too many of my crazy dickhead neighbors have guns. I don't need any more.

But since your neighbor, Bart, has all those guns, and all the other neighbors see how much respect it gets him, and neighbors afraid to hassle him, in fact he gets to bully other neighbors any time he wants, all your neighbors are going to want a gun as well. And since guns have proliferated so much, there may be sfa you can do about it. That neighbor can't really harm you directly, but he can sure put up a good fight if you go charging into his house, and Bart doesn't really have the money anymore for busfare to get there. You can huff and you can puff, but it may be that you'll just have to adapt with another crazy neighbor having a gun, same as those other nutjobs further down the street. Ain't right to bear arms just great.

Amid the rising anxiety, an Iranian dissident who lives in exile in the US, came to the Jewish state this week to warn leaders here that a preemptive strike on Iran would be counterproductive.
Amir Abbas Fakhravar, whose visit got significant attention in the Israeli media, says that Israelis are right to take the threat of a nuclear Iran seriously. But he says he is telling Israeli leaders – among them officials at the Foreign ministry – that harsh economic sanctions like the oil embargo adopted by Europe have the potential to weaken the regime. An Israeli attack, on the other hand, would strengthen it.
"This will be the worst scenario. It will be a gift from God for [embattled Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad," he says. "After a limited military attack, they can act as a victim, go around the world, and get support and legitimacy from other little countries."
Mr. Fakhravar predicts that absent a strike economic sanctions will eventually bring down the Islamic regime and lead to a new government that would not seek nuclear weapons.

But while Fakhravar's credibility may be questioned, his view on Iran is shared by numerous Israeli security chiefs who have publicly cast doubt about the effectiveness of an Israeli strike, and warned about widespread damage from a regional war. Among them is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan.
