Brazil, Russia, China and India (the new BRIC alliance) have voiced their opposition to such an attack. India last week announced plans to build a gas pipeline from Iran to India, through Pakistan. They also announced that they would buy 50 Boeing aircraft, which gives them a fair amount of leverage. We would be crazy to go against this sort of opposition.
On the other hand, most analysts agree that it is only a matter of time before the Shi'ite majority takes power in Iraq, and allies itself more closely with Iran. It will really make us look like fools if our 'war for oil' only succeeds in giving unfriendly Iran control of an even larger portion of the world's reserves. * should have thought of that before he started this mess. Is it too late to put Saddam back in power?
