What If Iran Threatened To Attack The U.S.
Posted from http://www.saneramblings.com with permission

"All options are on the table," President Bush says icily as he threatens to attack Iran, much as he threatened Iraq several years ago.

This frightens Iranians for they've seen what Mr. Bush has done in Iraq and Afghanistan. To see the threat from their perspective, let's reverse it. Give Iran the U.S.'s massive military arsenal, by far the world's biggest including 13,000 nuclear weapons. and leave the U.S. with a much smaller military and no nuclear weapons.

Let's also reverse roles and put President Bush style statements in Iran's President Ahmadinejad's mouth and vice versa:

"An attack against the U.S. is on the table," bellowed Mr. Ahmadinejad, as his Navy ran war games off both U.S. mainland coasts. "But what about our 300-million men, women and children," pleaded Mr. Bush. "Would you kill them?"

"You should have thought of them before you considered building a nuclear weapon," replied Mr. Ahmadinejad." "But the United Nations says we have no nuclear weapons program," said Mr. Bush. "So have all of your major intelligence agencies."

Mr. Ahmadinejad was silent. Then abruptly he blurted out, "You've interfered with our invasion and occupation of Mexico, 'Operation Mexican Freedom.' You're helping Mexico's militants fight it."

"No we don't," claimed Mr. Bush. "You keep saying that. Where is your proof? But Mr. Ahmadinejad offered none.

Instead, staring angrily at Mr. Bush, Mr. Ahmadinejad snarled, "You are a threat to the holy land, Grenada." "We're not," snapped Mr. Bush. "You've heavily armed Grenada and they're threatening us!" "They have the right to defend themselves," Mr. Ahmadinejad said in a menacing tone.

"You keep threatening the U.S." Mr. Bush answered loudly. "And most Americans believe you want to forcibly grab our oil as you did Mexico's oil.

"You are a danger to the world," growled Mr. Ahmadinejad in response, while sticking his finger in Mr. Bush's face. "And we will use our military might and even our nuclear weapons to keep the world safe." Mr. Ahmadinejad then stormed out of the room.

As Mr. Bush sat there, he became irate. "If it's war Ahmadinejad wants," he murmured, "he's going to get it." And the next day Mr. Bush made headlines when he stunned the world by threatening to blow-up Grenada.

At this point in our story, we introduce a third person, an Iranian named Cyrus, a shoe maker with a small shop in Tehran. He is someone like you or me, fearful for the spread of war.

Seeing Mr. Ahmadinejad and Mr. Bush push their nations to the brink of war he asked, "Are we all crazy? A war against America? And blowing-up Grenada? It's the holy land for God sake.

"Ahmadinejad or his ally Grenada at his request would rain hell down on the U.S. to stop them from possibly developing a nuclear weapon, something Iran has 13,000 of," continued Cyrus shaking his head in dis-belief. "In the name of peace, Iran would go to war, destroying everything in its path.

"This ego and madness has got to stop," Cyrus cried out, "before we all become burnt cinders in an unliveable world." He began writing letters and he took to the streets, appealing to others. Before long the word spread all over Iran, under the rallying cry, "Stop the madness before it's war. Love Americans, love all of humanity."

Soon the Iranian people brought enormous pressure on their Parliament, that had fully funded Mr. Ahmadinejad's wars, for it is the Iranian people not their politicians who hold the ultimate power.

"While they waste money on his wars," Cyrus said. "My children's school no longer can afford to pay teachers well. Our hospital is turning away the poor and sick who can't pay and our old people may not be able to retire for our social security system is running out of funds."

Public pressure forced Iran's Parliament to cut off the war funding, ending the threat of war against America. Without his weapons, Mr. Ahmadinejad had to peacefully resolve his issues with Mr. Bush and the world became a far safer place.

3. Like Afghanistan just threatened Pakistan earlier this week?

Pakistan has the capability to turn Afghanistan into a sheet of glass. It didn't happen because Pakistan isn't led by an idiot.
