A preemptive war against Iran
would be a disaster. For America and Israel.
I hope someone with actual brains is telling GWB this. Think the Hezbollah attack against Israel x1000. |

If Iran stops exporting oil and shuts down the Strait of Hormuz, how much do you think gas will cost, for those that can find it?
People will be walking to church and riding bikes to work. |

So then you are rooting for this, right?

This same article talks about Iranian plans to attack Saudi production with missiles. In one day, half the world's oil could come off the market. |

How can Iran afford to do this?

It's the carrot that keeps Iran alive from the Bush-warmongers.
Do you think Bush will tank the entire oil industry, and ruin his financial backers? There will be no attack on Iran. Even if Iran is in the midst of openly building the bomb. The cost of attack is just too high. It has to be solved diplomatically. I think to start, Israel should offer to get rid of it's own nuclear program in exchange. |

Time will tell whether that is shortsighted.
