How's about we wait until we know what actually happened before we bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.
(although I fully admin it would be very satisfying to bomb them up to the stone age, let's make sure they are actually the guilty party, and just not uncritically accept any propaganda we are spoon fed without verification, just because it confirms our biases, m'kay?)
Once again, Cui bono? Who benefits from a Persian Gulf war more? A flattened Iran, or a Russia with higher oid prices (virtually their only export anyone wants) or Our Dear Friends, The Saudis (who would have virtually unchecked regional power?)
Let's make damned sure we aren't spilling our blood for the likes of them!
It is always good to remember that the planes flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the plane crashed by brave patriots in Pennsylvania were hijacked and piloted by Saudi Arabians.
Being Americentric in your thinking you do not acknowledge the coaltion against Iran.
There are other very formidable air forces besides those of the USA.
When the air war begins, the bombing will be by the IDF and the Saudi Arabian air forces. The UAE air force will be charged with flying cover and tending to the Iranian air force that comes to defend. The US Navy will be defending the gulf and providing anti missle defense for Israel, Saudi Arabia the UAE and other Gulf states.
That is one scenario. The coalition allies will be heavily involved in the destruction. Iran knows that and is fearful. That fear is why Iran never acts. Iran alwaays uses surrogates.
I don’t think of myself as a war monger but rather one who looks forward and sees the real probability of a war with Iran. So long as there are religious radicals in control of the nation that covets Mecca, hates Israel and the sanctions of the Great Satan, I seen no peaceful resolution.
America has disregarded the whining of the euro trash and has imposed sanctions that have in effect nearly halted Iranian oil sales. Those sanctions are biting. Those sanctions are causing real pain.
