Tehran will be nothing but glass soon. I can live without the "beautiful Persian civilization".

[spyone]

With all respect to you pal, Siv, Iran won't dare to attack Israel in the near term. They will continue to use their proxies in the area like Syria and Hezbollah. It's really worked for them to date with no downside or significant costs.

Correction...should read

"Is War With Israel The Next Step For Iran?"

Why yes, Ghazal Omid, our "Road Map" to Britain's heart already invited Iran to attack Israel through Gaza and Hezbollah. And as Iran's attacks intensify, politics right here in the USA will get very bland, indeed (you know, with only one party left and all).

"By a margin of nearly five to one, Americans oppose the Bush administration's demand to halt all further Jewish construction in Judea-Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza . . . The poll, carried out by John McLaughlin & Associates, surveyed a scientific sample of 1,000 American adults on May 21, 2003.

SunkenCiv,


Ahmadinejad, a man of many talents, jumped from (interview question) # 17 to # 1 on June 24, 2005 and may be the Tiger Woods of politicians. He certainly showed a talent for handling a reporter and dodging important questions.


Iraq's Ahmadinejad biggest problem is that he might actually start to believe the MSM's "adoration", especially the above remark that he's a Tiger Woods of politicians.

Very bad mistake.

I'd guess that the United States has war-gamed an Iran war a hundred times since we defeated Iraq's military. We're ready ...

Morever, Bush knows that an Iraq Victory is impossible with Iranian support of the bad guys ...

The image I'm getting is that "soon" Bush-&-Rumsfeld will turn to their DoD admirals and generals ... and tell them to "Unleash Hell" on the Iranian military ... just like Maximus (Russell Crowe) did in Gladiator.

About the author Ghazal Omid (snip)



"...on a trip to Abadan to renew her birth certificate, another incident emphasized the urgency for her to leave the country. Riding with her mother in a taxi, Ghazal asked the tour guide/taxi driver to slow down so she could photograph the abandoned oil refinery where her grandfather had been chief of security. Instead, the driver, an under cover policewoman, pulled out her ID and threatened to arrest her as a spy if she tried to photograph the rusting junkyard of pipes; all that remained of a majestic refinery that fifty years ago was the largest in the world...."

Very, very interesting.

Iran has way too much invested to step back. There is a Muslim-vs-Muslim conflict going on right now, between the Arabic version of Islam (Sunni, al-Qaeda, Wahhabism) and the Iranian version (Shi'a, Hezbollah). Lebanon is the Hezbollah insertion point, while the Wahhabists are trying to work through Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Normally, I would just say, let the Muslims do battle with each other. This was the situation with Iran and Iraq, from the early 1980's until the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq in 1991. Then, it became a threat to world trade and a serious interruption of energy supplies from the region.

We were blind on the ground throughout most of that period, and it was only through reports from refugees from the region that it becam apparent that what was going on was much more than a border war, it was a bilateral attempt at genocide to be visited upon the rivals by each other. Mutual Assured Destruction. Kuwait was captured only as a strategic maneuver, but that brought the wrath of the world down upon Saddam, as his agenda became more and more obvious, annihilation of all competition.

Cindy - Did you see this...?

[M. Espinola]

Iran, has been watching the 'nuclear weapons' situation with their cohorts in the Axis of Evil, North Korea, and thus far the NK's have gotten away with openly detonating or attempting to test a nuke, therefore the madmen of Tehran must be pondering when they will test their nuke.

When they do, Israel, even with Olmert unsteady at the helm, will be forced into to action for the sake of Israel's national security, plus pressure from Likud (who should be running Israel) to protect Israel's population for Iranian nuclear extermination.

The question remains on Washington course of action and that of allies regarding the coming showdown with jihad exporting Iran?
