I can't even conceive of that happening. They love rhetoric and have for a long long time. If the US decided they were going to occupy Iran, perhaps they would try and attack, but how would they get there? Don't think it is going to happen.<BR/><BR/>Not so much into the doom and gloom scenarios.<BR/><BR/>ScottScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16177305700247905809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1164936206753081482006-11-30T20:23:00.000-05:002006-11-30T20:23:00.000-05:00Saur,I had a t-shirt maker in college and one of m...Saur,<BR/><BR/>I had a t-shirt maker in college and one of my best selling t-shirts was "Make my day, blow an Iranian away." The neat part was that it was written in the cross-hairs of a rifle site.<BR/><BR/>This is a great way to make money in college.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952435078452465044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1164925738428617412006-11-30T17:28:00.000-05:002006-11-30T17:28:00.000-05:00Good thing our military is overextended by the fut...Good thing our military is overextended by the futile attempt to occupy Iraq!<BR/><BR/>But even so, it does not matter. The 30 years of bad energy policy is going to finally catch up with us. In the late 70s, Carter announced in a speech that there is an energy crisis and suggested increased funding for alternative energy technology. Ronnie Ray-Gun undid it all, on account of it "costing too much money". American cars continued to get a lower MPG rating than did the Ford Model T. In the short term, some money was made. But who cares about the long term when you are as old as Ronnie was? It is not like you will be alive to see the long term results of your short term greed. <BR/><BR/>So now China wants to modernize. And how can they do this? They have one choice. Oil. They need it just as we do. It is well known that China is cutting oil deals with whoever they can. Mostly Iran, Venezuela, and right now Canada is building a pipeline to the Pacific. I wonder who they plan to ship to? <BR/><BR/>China will back Iran, because Iran is China's oil depot. It is likely that an attack on Iran is also an attack on China. Possibly Russia too. Can we really do this?<BR/><BR/>I do not think so. Our economy is way too dependent on cheap crap from China. Will we really bomb the factories Wal-Mart needs to make their stock worth a crap? A war with a real power will mean a lot more than a war in Iraq. Aircraft carriers will be sunk. US Cities will be bombed. Hundreds of thousands if not millions will be killed on the ground. <BR/><BR/>And all because of oil. Good thing we saved all that money in the 80s huh?The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
