With the IRAN issue looming over our heads, does anybody see....
If we attack Iran this could very well be the beginning of WWIII. Russia and China will side with Iran against us. So todays story of the Chinese hackers breaking into homeland security computers and making off with information - wouldn't that be used against us??

3. That's why it's called a world war. Not local. Not regional.
Worldwide.

We learn damned little from history.

4. Russia and China will not, and do not have to do anything
If we are stupid enough to attack Iran, the Shia in IRAQ would unite against us. It would immediately put our troops in Iraq in even more peril than they currently are. It would open up a second front on the with Iran, and Turkey would probably make a major move against the Kurds, because we would be so tied up in other areas.

THe 60% Iranians who do not agree with the policies of their president, would unite behind him if we attacked Iran. It would also unite the radical elements in the region, jepardordize our allies position in the area, and be an economic world wide disaster, which would cause the world to go against us. If we think oil is high now, we haven't seen anything

Quite possibly if we attacked Iran, that would force us into a deep recession. Of course the amount of lives that would be lost would be a terrible price, and it would create a war without end

7. It is imperative for Bush to thump fear. That's all he has left.
And of all the tricks he's pulled on the citizens of this country, his fear mongering has worked the most.

What his distortion means is that few can judge the reality of Iran. We cannot believe even one word out of this corrupt administration.
