I don't think Israel will use a nuke first. If Iran or anybody else uses one on Israel, Israel will pull the handle marked "settle this thing once and for all" and there will be several mushroom clouds in several ME countries. A,erica will also participate. Muslims will finally no longer be welcome in Israel, even as visitors. That is, if Israel still exists. Which it will, I think. Virtually all ME countries will "start over," and genocidal attitudes toward Israel or anybody else will not be tolerated.

Any strike on Iran would be the biggest addition to Bum Laden's arsenal of recrutement propaganda.

might as well have the CIA train them , just like the CIA trained Bum Laden initially... hell , might as well send em the fully assembled Nukes, with a nice manual on how to blow things...

Also don't forget *****e vs Sunni....They will fight each other over who hates America the most...and that folks was Bushes Grand Plan...to get them fighting among themsleves. That is the REAL REASON why the US invaded Iraq.

Yep the American Indians tried recruiting from among the dead to...they called it the Ghost Dance.

GW will be the happiest man alive when he gets to return to his ranch and civilian life.

how old are you tabs?? 5 years old?? cause that's the thinking level you are displaying now...

in case you didn't know , there's a whole lotta muslims around the world
i'm pretty sure that even the most open minded muslim , will get quite unhappy if the US invades Iran as well , does preemtive strikes, and basically causes dead babies to be shown on Al Jahzeera..

oh, btw , there's a bunch of Muslims in the US as well
there's a fair chance there's some in the town you live

so , again, any strike on Iran , is ammunition for Bum Laden
he won't have to recruite amongst the dead, since there's plenty more that don't live in Iran ,or the Middel East for that matter...

I think 5 years is generous. I'd say 3. tops. 8 to 1 it's in the next 18 months.

lol, how did I miss this one? Huzzah Tabdula:D

While I accept the premise that Dubya is "simple" enough to think this, I can only hope we all know that creating a common enemy is the single best way to unite otherwise disparate peoples. It is one of the most reliable management tactics. If your staff is bickering, make them all pissed at you. Works lie a charm, every time.

Riiiiight! Then he should leave now, before he's impeached following the upcoming election.

I seriously doubt Israel would initiate a nuclear conflict. If they get hit by one - even a simple "dirty bomb" you can bet your ass Iran and Syria will both be turned into smouldering radioactive glass patches in very short order thereafter.

How come I feel like we are sitting on the Eve of Destruction.

Because you're used to the US government being able to go where it pleases and wiping out large numbers of foreigners with no repercussions in the homeland.

That day is over.

If you wish to "feel better", then you need to get with the program to reduce US government imperial military adventures to zero.

If Iraq was such an "immediate threat", mabye we shouldn't have dropped the ball on the last uprising.
Carved that bird into 3, and everyone(except the Sunnis of course) is happy with the US.
Iran is westernizing quickly, despite the mullas, and (so I've heard)has a Christian and a Jew in parliment, along with 25,000 resident Jews.

Now see, wasen't that easy?

I guess armegeddon will have to wait :(

which country has a history of dropping nuclear bombs?
Which country feels morally justified with respect to having used a nuclear bomb?

I don't think the answer is "Iran".

Right, that 'ranch' has been the biggest publicity stunt of his Presidency, and that covers alot.............

You simply cannot be that simple...

Just spit-ballin' here......



The CIA make a dirty Bomb go off in Afghanistan......and "leak" a fake-story that Al-Queda terrorists in Afghanistan were working on a dirty-bomb to be used in the US, however while working on it, said bomb detonates in their own back-yard........many civilian casualties.

.......which leads to many of the Afghan civilians to feel a deep-hatred and resentment towards the Al-Queada they once revered. Afghan civilian-led vigilante groups form , which hunt-down terrorist scum and slaughter them by the bushel. Many other middle-east countries follow the example.......

Terrorism starts to crumble in the middle-east.
