I AM SURE OIL PRICES WILL FALL AND THE DOW JUMP WHEN IRAN HAS/USES NUKES. WHO WILL BE BLAMED FOR THAT? THE US ANYWAY SO I SAY LET THEM BLAME US FOR THE NON NUCLEAR OPTION.
That's not the issue. Bombing is the last resort and I don't believe we have reached that point.
Edward N. Luttwak: "Three reasons not to bomb Iran - yet"
I believe many of the reasons cited by Dr. Luttwak still obtain. The Iranians are trying to percipitate a strike to divert the Iranian people's attention from a failing economy and growing domestic dissatisfaction with a repressive regime. An attack now will result in unifying the people against a perceived external threat. We need regime change in Iran and that can be done in a number of different ways.
