"You miss the point, Iraq and Iran are preparing to WMD American troops and Israel. After a few nukes on our troops there will not be the force necessary to stop troop movements."

Are you thinking clearly?

After a few magic Iraqi/Iranian nukes being launched, all of Persia and the Euphrates valley would become uninhabitable as a result of the response.

C'mon people.

If Iraq was to launch (WMD) against Saudi Arabia oilfields, while at the same time Iran attacked Bahrain and the US forces, what would be the position of the US and her allies?

Now we must remember Iran and Iraq would now have most of the world's oil supplies, so to nuke them would just about end the economy of the world.

We all know that money makes the world go round and the death of a few million people in these WMD attacks would truly be awful, but would the powers that be risk the total shut down of the world's economies. I think not.

This would then put Iraq and Iran in a very strong barginning positon.

The above scenario, is possible and thats all it has to be and that is the main reason why we cannot allow these type of people to have WMD, if we wait until he has them, it will be too late. Strike and Strike Now (before 9/11) before it is to late, they are playing on the weakness of Democracy.

President Bush said he would seek them out and strike before they stuck the US and it's Allies, Well now he has to prove its not just talk.

Without doubting anything you say, something like that still seems distinctly possible. These are not sane people.

I am, I have lived with these terrorists for a few years. You assume that they will not fire because we will fire back. What pray tell was 9-11? I have no doubt they will fire. They really are that crazy. MAD does not work if one side wants to die in a blaze of glory. To think that it would work with a Jihad is, well, mad.

We better learn to think eastern, and fast.
