>>He's looking to pick a fight, to have the final passionate excuse to nuke Tel Aviv, to remove Israel from the inhabitable universe, and to finish the Holocaust that he denies Hitler began. Either he will wait to take action until Bush is out of the White House, or he will have enough nukes secreted away that can be gotten to Tel Aviv that he expects a couple to make it, even if his military and much of his nuclear capacity is decimated.<<

Well this is awful because it leaves us with no good choices. We can do nothing and eventually Iran will get the bomb. We can go with 1000 sorties and not be sure we got everything plus we pay a big international price.

We can take over the whole country or nuke them and be sure but who wants another protracted ground engagement and after mid terms the resulting congress might not provide the money or the war powers approval.

If we preemptively nuke Iran we are writing off 60 years of world leadership and everything international we've built - oil may double or worse and we'll never get cooperation on anything again. American products will be boycotted the world over - the stock market will likely crash.

So if he is really that determined then the U.S. is gonna pay a big price one way or another and I may join my plumber in wishing we could have had a generation of peace before it all started.

We'll make it ok, if we remain true to our word, true to our faith, and unfailing in the fight for freedom. We may have to go through another chapter in the hell on earth book that humanity is writing.

We are ultimately stronger, in ways that Iran has no hope of matching, ever. Once the fear of defeat focuses the minds of enough people, we will win.

Regime Change Iran ^ | 4.18.2006 | DoctorZin
Top News Story Russia and China offer Iran to join their alliance. AsiaTimes reported that Iran will become full member of China and Russia's "Shanghai Cooperation Organization." The SCO's enlargement move would frustrate the entire US strategy in the region. The SCO is a security organization which will provide Iran with access to technology, increased investment and trade.   Iran confirms it is developing P-2 centrifuges. The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran now claims it was conducting research and tests on the more sophisticated P-2 nuclear-enrichment centrifuge which could significantly speed the process of making fuel for bombs....
 

I fear things will get worse before they get better.
